Continuing my blog series on my experience with the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC) earlier this month, I have highlighted eleven management lessons. Whether you are a platoon leader or a small business operator, these tips are completely transferable.
1. Invest and train young people
2. Respectful collaboration, but do not be afraid to show courageous leadership when needed to advance the mission
3. Be flexible
4. Discipline creates positive outcomes
5. Different ideas are powerful
6. Anticipating what the enemy is going to do next keeps you sharp and ready
7. There is always humor in stressful moments
8. Humility is the key leadership trait
9. Perfected systems help achieving perfect execution
10. Every problem should be addressed to a superior with three possible solutions
11. Redundancy removes the ability of the enemy to disrupt the execution of a mission
