Sad realities and disappointment when poor leadership choices are made on the basis of relationship and not
00:00 - 00:03 | These Divisions are performing optimally... |
00:04 - 00:05 | ...but this one over here.... |
00:05 - 00:07 | ...is broken from the last 2-Star they had. |
00:08 - 00:12 | He communicated infrequently and unfairly criticized... |
00:12 - 00:15 | ...every single thing they did. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Let's assign a new 2-Star... |
00:19 - 00:21 | ...and a new 1-Star. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Commissioner... |
00:27 - 00:28 | ...Steiner... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Steiner would make a great 1-Star... |
00:34 - 00:36 | Captain Steiner is highly respected. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who thinks a 1-Star should be a good leader, leave the room. |
01:13 - 01:15 | I'm glad you're my yes-men! |
01:15 - 01:17 | I want a 1-star that's my buddy! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Versitzi! He and I started the officer safety program years ago! |
01:25 - 01:28 | He also has been investigated for banging his subordinate! |
01:29 - 01:31 | He'd be a great 1-Star! |
01:31 - 01:34 | That's who I want to see promote! |
01:34 - 01:37 | I don't care about our organizational values... |
01:37 - 01:40 | ...when it comes to promoting people to the highest levels! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Commissioner, you're far better than this! |
01:42 - 01:46 | He and I started the officer safety program! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Commissioner, this won't be received well. |
01:48 - 01:52 | So what?! I made this decision years ago! |
01:53 - 01:54 | He's my choice! |
01:56 - 01:57 | You better make it happen... |
01:57 - 02:00 | ...even if he flubs the interview! |
02:00 - 02:03 | He's my choice and I don't care if he's a leader or not! |
02:04 - 02:08 | Furthermore, I don't care that he was continually stopped for traffic violations... |
02:08 - 02:13 | ...driving through the Division I am making him the 1-Star over! |
02:14 - 02:16 | He broke so many noses in the mat-room! |
02:17 - 02:21 | If you aren't motivated by that, you are crazy! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Also, tell AC Field that... |
02:30 - 02:34 | ...we need Areas to report more frequently on things... |
02:34 - 02:36 | ...I don't care if it's reduntant! |
02:41 - 02:42 | I gave them... |
02:43 - 02:47 | ...wash and wear uniforms and external vest carriers! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Isn't that enough? Do I need to appoint good leaders, too? |
02:54 - 02:56 | I was on a great trajectory... |
02:56 - 02:59 | ...but now it's time to promote my friends... |
03:00 - 03:02 | ...whether they're respected leaders or not! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, we can outlast this. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Our Organizational Values... |
03:19 - 03:23 | ...don't really apply to the promotional process... |
03:25 - 03:26 | ...they never have. |
03:31 - 03:33 | I'm sorry if that disappoints you. |
03:40 - 03:46 | It's a truth that all must discover at some point in their careers... |
03:46 - 03:49 | ...and it's just the way it is. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Hope you're still blue and gold, |
