I developed these nine principles of Communication-Based Leadership while serving in the field as a Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer, because hyper-connectivity at the speed of Send was just emerging & it was obvious to me the doctrinal “principles of information” at the time were insufficient.

Over the course of years in leadership positions and as a scholar of leadership, here are four timeless truths to help guide you — whatever your personal leadership philosophy & style may be. Hit me with questions or critique as you prefer. I’m open to a good conversation!

Open discussion question: What would the pros and cons be of using repeal of the Permanent Apportionment Act as a mitigation strategy for gerrymandering?

Be willing to engage in civil discourse to strengthen links with those around you. We the People will get through this by uniting in shared values and lifting each other up.

Hell, the President swears a similar Oath. Here’s what I had to say about that on Constitution Day. (Would share a cell with Sen. Kelly in a heartbeat.)

Not all US military members are good. War is bad. This is not an endorsement of US foreign policy or the war in Iraq. It is a specific example of the standards to which the US mil is trained & ICE is clearly not. It is a caution. Link arms, lift up, lean on, support, carry, & shield each other.

Correct. Enlistment is a contract. Commission is an appointment by Congress “at the pleasure of the President” (Alas…) Under the law, officers serve to provide “best military advice” to the President & Congress. Here is the Oath of Commission I reaffirmed as a retiree on Nat’l Constitution Day.

Despite having come up in stage theater and being entirely comfortable performing as either a cast member or keynote, recording myself feels unnatural. So I’m following the advice I give to others & pushing beyond the perfection trap to just get on with it. Let’s link arms & lead together…

I'm a fan of the Roadhouse Rule: Be nice, until it's time to not be nice.

Sharing some thoughts on setting boundaries for tolerance of @$$holes in the social media environment. Your mileage may vary. It’s a first-take-done to test the Captions app’s AI subtitling & graphics gen tool. Worked fine/fast, but I feel authenticity lost may be greater than efficiency gained.

How much do we really want to be an Acts church?

A family of four now spends up to $1,600 a month just on groceries. That’s a mortgage payment. That’s a car note. That’s what Trump’s economy actually costs regular people while billionaires cash out. This is not normal. Don’t let them tell you it is. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

Long Island Rail Road workers are picketing outside of stations on Saturday after contract negotiations with the MTA fell through. The strike has halted North America's busiest commuter rail, which could leave hundreds of thousands of riders scrambling.

Remember when we had a POTUS who considered himself president to ALL the people, even if they disagreed with him, and didn't call them names, or tell people to 'beat the hell out of them' - who was actually presidential?! Good times...

Disgusting moment when China forced school children to hop “gleefully” in front of Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend.

Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.

In an interview with Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt explains how Trump is begging for help from NATO and Gulf allies in opening up the energy-critical Strait of Hormuz. Gas prices continue to skyrocket in the U.S. as the war in Iran drags on.
