Interviewee: USAF CMSGT within the AFSPC/50SW, aka Chief Expectation: Chief had textbook responses during the interview.

I expect the commander to learn the mission before making wholesale changes. However, I do expect the CC to make some change.” In my personal experience, I have seen many CC’s come in and make “wholesale” changes BEFORE learning the mission/project.

I don 't have an issue with social media as a method for communication, but there are many things that cannot be released to the public due to their sensitive nature. Over communication is great in my opinion and letting folks know about changes really increases the buy-in.” I completely agree with Chief about the “face-to-face” communication. It is of my observation that we as AFSPC/USSTRATCOM, rely too much on emails for making important decisions. Of course, we all may have a different definition of “important”.

Our current commander instituted his personal leadership philosophy last summer and has an expectation for all leaders to champion his organizational vision and goals.

I also posted them in our office for quick reference and review the information during our weekly staff meetings. This helps to ensure we, as an office, are supporting the values of the
A Command Master Chief (CMC) onboard a former command was an outstanding CMC and gave new meaning to leading from the front. If a Sailor had to go to Captains Mast, he took it as a failure on his part and that of The Mess that they could not help that Sailor from making the mistakes that he made (it was an all-male ship). About 14 months into his tour, our Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) had to go on emergency leave and we were not able to get underway without our IDC onboard. We sent out requests for a temporary IDC and the IDC in the area that was available was a female, coincidentally she knew the CMC.

Also, this makes CMC much more attractive than face-to-face communication. Channel: Communicating on your own time The biggest demand of face-to-face communication is the presence of the two parties at that particular point of time.
Ancient forms of human communication include cave drawings, smoke signals, symbols, and carrier pigeons. During the late 1800’s, communication became more advanced with the invention of the typewriter and the telephone. Roughly one hundred years later, a military project resulted in what we know today as the internet.
