20 Years Done Podcast

In 2018 I wrote an article titled "When you meet a good leader you know it Part 5" where I detailed my interactions with MSgt(then) James Tibbets. Today I sat down with CMSgt(ret) Tibbets to explore how he developed his leadership toolkit in spite of pressures against being a compassionate leader in maintenance.

Once again Eric Stromski joined me to discuss how Air Force leadership incentivizes non-compliance and aircraft maintenance essentially functions on corner-cutting.

A discussion hosted by Ashley Grugin who created the vlog The Diary of a Mixed Woman. This discussion focused on male servicemembers' perceptions of sexual assault, sexual harassment and the possible causes to these issues.

A discussion with 3 female veterans discussing their unique and often similar experiences in aircraft maintenance.

A discussion about how to approach section leadership and deconstructing the Air Force's expectations and the lack of positive support to section chiefs.

A discussion with previous Lead Pro Supers comparing healthy and unhealthy production section behaviors. In the second half of the discussion we were joined by a former Director of Operations to discuss the Ops perspective.

A discussion about aircraft maintenance quality assurance and how QA influences aircraft maintenance; to include best and worst practices by inspectors.

The first episode of the podcast explaining the history of 20 Years Done and the way ahead.
