Leaders,

Remember our charge and creed. 🧵 ImageImage
We are charged to care for our Soldiers. To do this we must know our them. My first questions to any Soldier is where are you from, why are you here, what is your story?

#thisismysquad #PeopleFirst
Never degrade a Soldier for who they are. Respect is foundational to the #ArmyEthic. Will you have disagreements? They are inevitable, but honesty without tact is cruel and callous. #DoBetter
“I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers, and subordinates alike...I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage.”

Have a safe weekend.

‘John Brown: A Biography of American abolitionist’ by W.E.B. Du Bois. A fascinating telling of the antebellum abolitionist whose belief -"Slavery is wrong"- thrust him and into a personal war to uproot an institution older than the nation he loved.

‘Success through Failure: the Paradox of Design’ by Henry Petroski

A little perspective for those who think they have reached the top.

#TheUnitLibrary #BookClub 🧵
April #professionaldevelopment
History is often viewed as a series of conquests and successes resulting in a modern humans sitting at the paramount of civilization. Petroski turns this on it's head through an analysis of design and engineering failures that stimulated invention and innovation.
“Successful tests are unremarkable... Failures are remarkable. The failures always teach us more than the successes about the design of things.”

Finished ‘Invisible Women’ by @CCriadoPerez today.

I would be lying if I said it was a relaxing read. No, it was like a VR experience with an infuriating view of my own biases throughout.

#TheUnitLibrary #Bookclub 🧵 Image
“Seeing men as the default human is fundamental to the structure of human society.”

‘What? No. Really?’ The first line, and already my bias was showing. A common occurrence through the meticulously presented data of how at every turn, half the world’s population is let down.
It is no wonder that “Women will buy books by and about men, but men won’t buy books by and about women (or at least not many.)” I noted that my reading list just form this year is skewed to male authors. (3 to 12)

Please share.

Completed ‘Don’t Unplug’ by @chrisdancy. Great read, funny, insightful, and a little painfully relatable.

Recommend it and no matter what, do not skip the epilogue.

#TheUnitLibrary #Bookclub 🧵
I had the joy of attending a virtual LPD by Chris and pick up his book to dive into his cyborg thoughts a bit more.

The part one quote from the Nintendo quite screen assured me I was going to enjoy it.
I could never collect or analyze or process the amount of self-data that Chris has, but his structured development from his data to information to knowledge to wisdom was consistent with my KM proclivities.
