 A characteristic feature of embodied leadership is commitment to ourselves and our teams. Commitment is characteristically associated in decision-making behavior with timing and execution. Our national security environment expertly drives our operational and tactical sense of timing to adroitly get the job done. Before you execute, reflect as well to balance the strategic perspective of time, which involves the anticipating, the bigger picture when committing resources and assessing potential impact, when committing to a plan, anticipate what comes before and after whenever you are strategically committing in regard to time. Embodied leaders practice instilling in character a commitment to anticipate before executing for themselves and as a model of timing for their teams. Lead well this week.
