MARINES ON MANAGEMENT: Civilians Don’t Get Taught the Things You’ve Been Taught. Take Care of Them and Watch Them Transform!

An encore performance of Angie Morgans great words of encouragement for Leaders who are transitioning.

A New York Times best selling author of the book “Spark: How to Lead Yourself and Others to Greater Success” talks with us about what the “spark” is.  She answers the question “how do I increase the spark”  and “what do I do with the spark”?

Retention issues and no morale are all symptoms of poor leadership and it’s ALL OVER the civilian world!   Hear Angie discuss how you have THE skills they’re looking for.

Angie discusses “managing” your leadership “style” in the civilian world because the word “Marine” has lots of stereotypes associated with it.  Recognize it and spend some effort to let them know that we’re ok by being a great ambassador of what it is to be a Marine.

AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!

QUESTION:  thoughts on “marines united.”

QUESTION:  What skills that you learned in the Marine Corps translate to the civilian management world and what skills don’t translate?

QUESTION:  Would it surprise you to know that MOST of what you’ve practiced as a Leader of Marines translates into civilian management?

QUESTION:  Would it surprise you to know that you’ve studied “leadership” at the best leadership academy in the world?

Great conversation with Will Costantini.
