You should really get out more to this place called a book store. Actually from the leadership manual.
Shut-up and listen: Great leaders know when to dial it up, dial it down, and dial it off (mostly down and off). Simply broadcasting your message ad nauseum will not have the same result as engaging in meaningful conversation, but this assumes that you understand that the greatest form of discourse takes place within a conversation, and not a lecture or a monologue. When you reach that point in your life where the light bulb goes off, and you begin to understand that knowledge is not gained by flapping your lips, but by removing your ear wax, you have taken the first step to becoming a skilled communicator.

Being a good leader is not just barking out orders, it gaining trust through action
A leader is not someone who comes in thinking they have all the answers, believe it or not that type of leadership is long gone, and if it is not at your agency, then you are missing out. Leaders who listen are able to create trustworthy relationships that are transparent and build loyalty. You know the leaders who have their employees’ best interests at heart... because they truly listen to them.

Dude comes on to this board to better understand some of the morale problems and you write jibberish like this. You are some kind of admin plant on this board to try and delegitimize our concerns. He is to be commended for reaching out to us, and you would be well advised to STFU.

Not officially
You may be right as you would know the internal chatter and politics, but according to the staff changes provided to me this morning, it did not indicate the Commander role has been filled.

It is my assumption Laden (whether he is ready and capable or not) will be offered the current position. If so, let’s hope he succeeds in that position. It is good to see it kept internally if that is an option.
Ever since Kevin created commander and started filling them externally, it has been a mess. All but what, one, has come and gone?

Pass.
If Sargent Laden is the best candidate we have for a Commander internally, then we should absolutely follow Mr. Lears's model of not settling and taking the time to find the right man for the job. I have seen his handiwork and his extracurricular activities. Pass. Thank the applicants, and readvertise for another round.
We are either going to change the existing culture or not.
