Commentaries

  • Air Force releases sexual assault conviction information

    Be excellent to each other. I can't think of a better "prime directive" for a personal life philosophy. No matter where we go or where we are -- work, school, home or elsewhere - many of the problems we deal with on a daily basis would quickly fade away if we could simply "be excellent to each

  • Key to success

    As I've progressed through my career, I've come to know and have watched many people; one thing has become obvious to me. Individuals with the most chevrons on their sleeves or rank on their shoulders are not necessarily the most successful people. Why do I say that? I look at success not as much a

  • Nurture a spirit of gratitude

    I love this time of year - a time to observe holiday celebrations, eat a lot of good food and gain weight for the winter! This season brings back fond memories not only from my childhood but also celebrations with family, the chapel community and friends. This is a season to express our thankfulness

  • Micromanagement an imbalance between leadership, followership

    Gen. George S. Patton Jr. once said to never tell people how to do things. Instead, he said "tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." Patton understood that setting a vision, providing direction and then getting out of the way of talented people taps a well of potential

  • Feedback builds future leaders

    Over my more than 16 years in the Air Force, I've occasionally been stopped by the intrepid young Airman who has informed me of an AFI 36-2903 uniform violation. I've always welcomed the feedback and like any good Airman, would correct the discrepancy, thank them and go about my business. Uniform

  • Don't forget to have fun - at work

    When my task-oriented front office team allows me a little free time, which isn't often, I like to get out and roam the halls of the mission support building, or jump in my vehicle and visit base facilities to see how our Team Peterson members are coping with day-to-day challenges. Over the past

  • Choose a focus and make it happen

    Choosing a focus is essential to our mission success in the Air Force today. The importance of having a vision, simplifying and honing in on a significant task should be a primary goal in our units and key to the success of our organizations. Involving all of our team members in the process of

  • ‘Tis the season for winter safety tips

    As the leaves begin to fall and the sun sets on summer, it is important to get prepared for the coming winter months. Whether you and your family will be staying at home relaxing in front of a cozy fire, enjoying the outdoors, or taking a trip to visit family and friends it is important to be

  • Seizing moments can make, break career

    On Jan. 4, 2014, I will celebrate the completion of my 20th year in the Air Force. To say it has been the career I dreamed of on that fateful day in January 1994 when I stepped off the bus at basic training would be far from the truth. After 20 years of doing something, you may find yourself in a

  • What's your Carthage?

    I admire dogged determination. The ability to see something through to completion, no matter how difficult, no matter how long it takes, is an admirable trait. History offers plenty of examples of individuals who demonstrate persistence, but my favorite is Marcus Porcius Cato, or Cato the Elder.A
