Leadership Thoughts - 24 Sep 2019
The Difference between a boss and a leader, found on Dealer Marketing Magazine website
Quote from that page:
"Think of your children. At times you hear them say to their sibling, “Now I am the boss of you. You have to listen to me, because I am in charge.” Funny when we hear kids say that it seems odd, but in many companies that is the prevalent way management runs the business. Authority figures make their team follow their orders, but with true leadership, teams will choose to follow a leader.
I recently heard a TED talk that inspired me by Simon Simek. He talked about how real leaders create a zone of safety for their employees. If done correctly the team will help each other, because they feel safe because of actions of their leaders. The willingness to do their part, the willingness to put the good of team in front of the good of the individual, especially that individual themself."

Welcome!
Greetings all. Welcome to the ongoing saga of setting up a Squadron blog that meets the needed requirements for both communications and privacy, transparency and keeping things private. I've had to create two blogs. One private (using a mdwg.cap.gov account) which will be available only to Squadron members via email invite only. That blog (MD003 Member Pages) will contain information important to members of the squadron only and not available to the general public.
I have set up this interconnected blog, Frederick Composite Squadron, which will be a public communications forum. It should not have contact information, mission information, or other details. We should still be able to share all pertinent information we need and want. These two blogs will be linked together with little overlap. Those without permission to access the Member blog will still see the links, but will run into a "This blog is open to invited readers only" error. If you see this and think you should have access to the protected pages, contact the author, make a comment, or speak to someone in your chain of command.
Please look through the website. Make comments and suggestions. Never hesitate to ask questions or point out errors, but please do so tactfully. You never know when it may be YOU writing the next article! If there is an activity that needs to be on the calendar, please contact us and we will add it.
