December 13, 2016EP016: Leader Development as a Competitive Advantage
The Army’s Multi-Source Assessment and Feedback (MSAF) is a powerful tool that is arguably underutilized. It is designed to enhance leader development for Army and Civilian leaders by providing them candid feedback on their performance and behavior from subordinates, superiors, and peers. MSAF can also provide resources for coaching to assist the leader’s developmental growth. Today on the Leaders Huddle we discuss the potentials and shortcomings of the MSAF with COL Kevin McAninch, who’s recent article in the Military Review: How the Army’s Multi-Source Feedback Program Could Become a Catalyst for Leader Development, discussed the current program’s “unpopularity, misuse, and ineffectiveness…then describes ways to improve its efficacy”. We’ll ask COL McAninch on his views of mentorship in feedback and how we can use the MSAF as-is to increase our vertical growth as leaders.

November 15, 2016 EP014: What a Brigade Commander Expects from their Subordinate Company Commanders

This week the Leaders Huddle takes a unique opportunity to sit down with COL Brian Reed, a former brigade commander and current brigade tactical officer at West Point. COL Reed shares with us his perspective on leadership, leader development, and what he expected of his subordinate company commanders. As company commanders our initial exposure to the brigade commander is usually right before change of command inventories start, you can often leave that meeting wishing you had asked more questions. Our conversation with COL Reed takes us through leadership development, professional development, broadening assignments, training, fostering a healthy culture, and finally, we ask COL Reed to share what he knows on learning agility in an organization. If you’re a current company commander, or are about to take the guidon, this podcast will provide you great information to help develop your plan and further your organization.

October 04, 2016EP011: The Keys to Effective Officer-NCO Relationships
Non-commissioned officers are the backbone of the Army. They serve as primary trainers, advisors, and enforcers. The relationship between the officer and their NCO counterpart is critical to empowering subordinates, building cohesion, and creating effective teams. Our discussion today is with Sergeant Major Stanley Hood. SGM Hood has served the Army for over 28 years. His most recent command level assignment was with the 555th Engineer Brigade, “triple nickle”, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. As the first non-commissioned officer on the Leaders Huddle, we ask SGM Hood to share his views on effective officer-NCO relationships. We also cover counselling, leader development, junior officer development, and taking care of Soldiers. If you’re a junior officer preparing to sit down with your platoon sergeant or first sergeant, this podcast will help you shape that discussion in order to create a shared understanding and cohesive team.

September 20, 2016EP010: Developing a First Class Physical Readiness Training Program
If you’ve spent more than a week in the Army, you know we “train as [we] will fight.” What is often overlooked in this training philosophy is physical fitness. Our guest today on the Leaders Huddle podcast, Captain Tony Soika, holds a B.S and M.S in exercise science and is an instructor in the Department of Physical Education at the United States Military Academy, West Point. CPT Soika is the perfect advocate for Army Physical Readiness Training (PRT), and wants leaders to move away from “how things used to be.” Having helped develop FM 7-22 (Army Physical Readiness Training), CPT Soika explains the importance of customizing a physical training program that meets the needs of the individuals and mission requirements. We’ll also discuss how PRT is designed to prevent injuries and how to facilitate recovery for special populations, and how to conduct PRT with in limited environments.
If you want your unit to perform at its max physical potential, prepared to execute its assigned mission, this is the episode to get you started.
