What in the  Courageous Leadership Alliance is going on uMu!

Hello, uMu, and Welcome our last HotWash of the Year! 

The primary purpose of a "HotWash" session is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the response to a given event, which then leads to another governmental phase known as "lessons learned." We take this concept and have unique discussions with some very influential leaders! Today we unpack the journey of CMSgt N. Mike Perry, a.k.a. Diamond 1!

CMSgt Perry is the Air Force First Sergeant Special Duty Manager. In this role, Chief Perry writes the policy for our First Sergeants and has the vital responsibility of advising CMSAF Bass on our Force's Culture, Health, Morale, and Readiness! Chief Perry hails way from Hammond, Louisiana and entered the Air Force in September 1992. He began his military career as an Inventory Management Specialist and later retrained into the Mental Health career field. Chief Perry has served in a variety of leadership positions at the Squadron, Group, MAJCOM and levels. His duties have included tours as a First Sergeant, Group Superintendent, and MAJCOM Functional Manager. Prior to assuming his current position, he served as the Command Chief Master Sergeant for the 79th Medical Wing. 

uMu we wanted to get to know the man behind the chevrons and diamond! There are countless interviews with our Senior Leaders Q and A style on our current events and upcoming changes. 

We wanted to hear something completely different from our Diamond 1! 

We wanted to know from Chief Perry what experiences shaped him into the leader we see today? How did he overcome hardships while balancing mission, family, and team?

 These intimate questions may be intrusive to some leaders, but not Diamond 1!

 Why? 

Chief Perry understood the assignment because he knows the importance of transparency and connecting with the next generation of leaders! 

uMu what a way for us to end this year! Tune in and hear from Chief Perry:

 🔥What worked 👍

 🔥What didn't work 👎 

🔥Lessons learned

Thank you so much, Diamond 1! Our conversation was indeed an honor, and we thank you for having a legacy we are all proud of!
