What teaching the Army taught me!

Hi to the group,

Some of my friends in the group know I've been doing a lot of Project Management training for the Army,      on-base at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Gordon, Georgia, and Fort Campbell, Kentucky. It's been a very rewarding experience, and in the process, I've picked up a lot of Lessons Learned for trainers.

I was recently interviewed about the Army training for 2 different blogsites, which I'd like to share with this group:

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for sharing the links - I particularly enjoyed the interview with Soma.  One quote stood out for me:

"In my PM work, I have always tried to stand up for what I believed was right. I’ve had to take unpopular positions at times. But I very often prevailed, partly because I am good at making a case, but mainly because I was trying to do what I believed was truly in the best interest of BOTH my customers and my company.." 

I really think that's the basis for authentic leadership...staying true to a consistent set of core principles and allowing others to understand who you are, what you stand for and why you are acting in this way.  I took a lot from that one quote - thanks so much.
