Great engagement and discussion today with the Cyber CoE CG, as part of the IA Scholars field study at Fort Eisenhower! Biggest takeaway was shifting my lens to look at how data is traversing the battlefield geometry and understanding that aspect to enable a commander to make better and faster decisions! #scholars #LeadershipDevelopment

What is the #EisenhowerMatrix? The Eisenhower Matrix, also referred to as Urgent-Important Matrix, helps you decide on and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, sorting out less urgent and important tasks which you should either delegate or not do at all. Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. Before becoming President, he served as a general in the United States Army and as the Allied Forces Supreme Commander during World War II. He also later became NATO’s first supreme commander. Dwight had to make tough decisions continuously about which of the many tasks he should focus on each day. This finally led him to invent the world-famous Eisenhower principle, which today helps us prioritize by urgency and importance. https://lnkd.in/gFTBrekW

The Eisenhower Matrix is a priority tool which helps you decide on which tasks are urgent and important, and which ones are not. It is named after Dwight David Eisenhower, an army general and politician who served as the 34th President of the United States, from 1953 to 1961. Being such a busy man as he was, he was inspired to create the world-famous Eisenhower method, a simple method that helps you prioritize your tasks and gain clarity and control over your time. In a simple diagram it is as follows: I hope it helps 👍🏻

A dream team - a shining beacon for any successful business adventure. It’s built on trust and complementing individual strengths. Just like a properly assembled regiment in the Marine Corps or Army where I served 🇺🇸. That's the exact model that drives our current business. It’s not about doing traditional sales, but more about building relationships and inviting people to work together towards a shared goal. Teamwork, dedication and integrity form the bedrock of my dream team. I invite you to share what defines YOUR perfect team. #Teamwork #BusinessGoals

What a great picture to capture the heart of a courageous warrior. I'm struck by John Chapman's subtle smile and peaceful resolve. This picture reminds me that we in the military can often mistake being tough with being hard. Hardness is easy. It's cold, impersonal, invulnerable and results in disconnectedness. We're tempted to justify hardness when the mission or task is difficult, or when we may or may not necessarily agree with the desired outcome. Put on the blinders, separate the heart from the action, do the task, live for another day. Toughness is connection based (both connected to self and/or a team) and requires selflessness and discipline. Tough, courageous warriors have tenacity, grit, determination, professionalism and most importantly: HUMILITY. I've known plenty of tough people with gentle hearts. Toughness leaves room for the heart to stay connected to your hands and mind. TSgt John Chapman's tenacity, grit and professionalism were on display at the top of Takur Ghar, but his humility, heart and selfless desire to serve brought him to the top of that mountain. I'm not sure you can capture the heart of a tough and selfless warrior any better than this photo of him humbly and gently holding an Afghan baby.

Success is no accident.
