BTW; thanks for the link to some essential truths on what not to do as a leader.

1) It was interesting that all the ideas (with one possible exception)  were presented by Academics, looking at leadership from the outside-in. The point of the Google guy, which was to not break faith with your people, is gospel truth. The rest are mostly liberal academics talking about "feelings". 2) That Chick is a dude! 3) Boston Community college is no longer in the "leader" business I am afraid.

^And, that changes the message how???

I was a little surprised that arrogance and hubris seemed to come up more frequently than dishonesty and unethical behavior. Makes me wonder if those interviewed figured it went without saying, or if an emphasis on ethics really is making a slower rebound in leadership training programs than I had thought.

Definitely going to use this video for cadet leadership training.

Thanks for sharing!
