South East Technological University (SETU), in collaboration with the Engineering the South East Cluster (ESE) and its automation sub-group, is proud to announce the launch of an innovative multi-company automation scholarship designed to retain top engineering talent within the region. A recent Higher Education Authority (HEA) report revealed that 62% of engineering students from the southeast region leave to study elsewhere, with a significant impact on the local workforce. In response to this, SETU's Autom8 scholarship initiative aims to attract and support students pursuing automation and robotics engineering careers, while addressing the region's growing demand for skilled professionals in industry. Speaking at the launch of the scholarship, Stephen Rooney, Cluster Manager, Engineering the South East, SETU, said, "The Autom8 scholarship is set to enhance local career opportunities, reduce brain drain, and strengthen industry-academic collaboration. It aligns with SETU's mission to support regional economic growth by fostering a pipeline of skilled graduates who can drive technological innovation in the southeast." The Autom8 scholarship brings together a group of leading manufacturing and automation companies to offer students financial support, industry experience, and professional mentorship throughout their undergraduate studies at SETU. Companies partnering with SETU on this initiative include MSD Ireland, Integer, Teva, Sanofi, and Bausch + Lomb. Edmond Connolly, Manager, South East Regional Skills Forum, said "SETU and Engineering the South East encourage interested second-level students to apply and seize this opportunity to advance their careers in automation engineering within a thriving local industry." The scholarship is open to students enrolling on SETU's Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Automation Engineering (Waterford campus) and the Bachelor of Robotics and Automated Systems (Carlow campus) Each participating company will provide a €2,000 annual contribution towards a student's educational expenses, along with access to paid summer work, a third-year industrial placement, and a dedicated industry mentor.

High availability, data model flexibility, elastic scalability… If these words have piqued your interest, then this is the episode for you! Join Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham, along with Autumn Black, as they discuss how Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is designed for today's most demanding applications, ensuring fast and predictable single-digit millisecond response times at scale, even as throughput requirements change. Oracle MyLearn: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Oracle_Edu Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Ranbir Singh, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode. ------------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;38;28 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Nikita Abraham, Principal Technical Editor with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Product Innovation and Go to Market Programs. 00;00;39;01 - 00;01;04;26 Hi there! Many of today's modern applications face a lot of different challenges. These could be anything from managing data models that are continuously evolving to providing UIs that are highly responsive. Yeah, and that's because in today's environment, no one wants to go to an interface where they have to wait for minutes or even seconds, really. Exactly. So innovations have to happen rapidly and they have to keep up with the demands of the customer base. 00;01;05;01 - 00;01;27;25 Since we discussed the MySQL database in our last episode, we thought it would only make sense to talk about NoSQL next. And we're very happy to have Oracle Database Specialist Autumn Black joining us again. Hi Autumn. What can you tell us about Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? The Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service really offers a lot of great properties. 00;01;27;28 - 00;01;53;28 It's serverless, always on, and fully managed by Oracle. Developers can focus on application development without having to worry about managing servers, storage expansion, cluster deployment, software installation, or even backups. It's fully elastic. You just provision the throughput and storage capacity your application requires. Resources are automatically allocated and they scale accordingly to meet the dynamic workload requirements that you have. 00;01;54;01 - 00;02;18;16 The service provides predictable low latency for all types of application workload, whether it's at the peak workload or at a very low level of the workload. The latency is always at sub 10 milliseconds. Flexible data model supports document, columnar, and key value formats to capture any of the kinds of data you may have. These data models can interoperate with each other using a single application interface. 00;02;18;18 - 00;02;49;04 It offers developer-friendly APIs, and it's integrated with popular application development tools. It comes with enterprise-grade security. It's cost-effective. Lastly, and most importantly, it makes hybrid cloud or multi-cloud deployment with Oracle NoSQL Database extremely easy. This enables enterprises to expand their business operations, open up new business potential and opportunities. Autumn, you said Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is fully managed by Oracle. 00;02;49;06 - 00;03;09;17 What does that exactly mean? What are the things that Oracle really handles? Oracle's responsible for the back-end software and hardware. The developer gets to focus on the application and who can use that application. Today's modern developers are not interested in what's going on behind the scenes. They want to be sure that they can get what they want when they want it. 00;03;09;20 - 00;03;36;03 Could you tell us about some use cases where we'd see Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service being used? We see it in mobile applications. We see it in the Internet of Things. We see it in a 360-degree customer view that's extremely prevalent in banking applications. We see it in the user profile management catalog data, such as what you would see maybe on Amazon, content management, online advertising, and big-time real data, social media. 00;03;36;05 - 00;03;59;20 And we also see it being used in the area of gaming. We've heard that Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service is extremely developer-friendly. How exactly is it developer-friendly? You can deploy your application to the data store in a matter of minutes. We have SDKs available in all the popular languages. We have Java, Python, Node.js, Go. We also have Spring. 00;03;59;22 - 00;04;24;24 We have open standards for our APIs, and we use the SQL language. Many, many folks already know and understand the SQL language and they can easily adapt to our APIs. We basically allow for simple and complex data types. We have our developer tools in Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Visual Studios. And for those who want to play with the service a little bit, you have full access to the service through the UI console. 00;04;24;27 - 00;04;48;05 Does Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service support different data models? You get to select that depending upon what you need. There's fixed schema, right? Sometimes referred to as a columnar store, sometimes referred to as just straight schema. And a JSON document? Sometimes it's referred to as just documents, and sometimes it's referred to as a JSON document. Other times, it gets referred to as schema lists. 00;04;48;08 - 00;05;07;17 We can store both of these within the same table, and we also have the ability to store a key value, which in some sense is really nothing more than a very simplified JSON document where you sort of have a primary key known as your key. Then you have your value and then oftentimes this value is really nothing more than a JSON document. 00;05;07;20 - 00;05;32;10 We have complete interoperability between either of these different types of data models. And what's the pricing like? Our pricing model is fairly straightforward. You basically pay for what you provision and different workflows can provision different amounts. The provision occurs on a per-table level that we have. We call it a read unit or write unit and storage. And each of those different parameters can be adjusted differently for each of the tables that you have. 00;05;32;12 - 00;05;44;08 So, it's a very, very simple model, very straightforward. And the cost for each one of those is extremely inexpensive. 00;05;44;10 - 00;06;14;09 Have you been wanting to earn an Oracle certification? Well, there's never been a better time than the present.

What are you waiting for? Get certified today. 00;06;40;27 - 00;07;03;24 Welcome back. Now that we've covered all of that, let's get down to business. What is Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? How does it help one's business? Well, really, it's a client server architecture. On the client side, an application interacts with NoSQL drivers, or sometimes more commonly referred to as our SDK. So, you develop the application. 00;07;03;25 - 00;07;31;08 And then at compile time, you include the SDK in that. Drivers are available for Java, Python, Node.js, Go, Spring, and C-Sharp. So then the application runs and it does database operations like insert, update, query, delete against the NoSQL tables that are stored on the server side. So from the developer's point of view, that's all they need to know. It's extremely simple. NoSQL tables can be created in seconds. 00;07;31;10 - 00;08;01;08 Developers can start right away to develop and deploy their applications. Businesses can focus on rapid innovations to better serve their customer's needs and expectations. So what you're saying is developers and IT don't need to manage any computing, infrastructure, or software updates. The NoSQL service comes with the high availability built in. So, all of the underlying compute services and software maintenance, all of that is fully managed by Oracle, which is hosting the NoSQL tables. 00;08;01;11 - 00;08;24;10 Database administrators will work on the authentication, the roles, the privileges, and the other types of access that are used to access the tables. Autumn, earlier on, we spoke about how easy it is to use Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service to develop your application. Can you talk about how NoSQL drivers connect to tables and perform database operations? So, each table has a couple of different key components. 00;08;24;12 - 00;08;49;16 The first one is the data component. So, it consists of a table definition or flexible data model, supports columnar key value or document models. We support many different data types, including integer, string, binary, long double, array, JSON, record, and a few others. Each column can be defined by a particular data type. So that could be integers, strings, and JSON columns, right? 00;08;49;16 - 00;09;06;21 Then we have a primary key which is identified. The primary key sort of doubles as the shard key and the shard key can be either a sort of complete copy of the primary key, or you can have a multicolumn key where some of those columns is your primary key and then other columns in that are your shard key. 00;09;06;24 - 00;09;30;25 The other component of a table is the capacity that is provisioned. What's an example of this? We have three units. We have write units, read units, and we have storage. Storage is expressed in gigabytes and this is the maximum amount of storage that is allocated for this particular table. Reads and writes are expressed in units. Each of those units represents a one kilobyte read or write for every second. 00;09;30;27 - 00;09;52;17 So, if you have an application where you wanted to do multiple reads a second, then you would allocate multiple read units for that particular table. And these can be dynamically adjusted. What are the different ways in which you can experience Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service? The first is accessing the cloud service to the service UI, probably more commonly referred to as the UI console. 00;09;52;19 - 00;10;20;12 The UI console provides basic capability. You can create and delete tables and then you can execute very simple, straightforward SQL statements against your table. If you want a richer experience, where you have an application that's developed. And then through all of our SDKs, you'll have the full experience and you'll be able to do the complete set of SQL statements that we offer. And then finally, we have what we call the NoSQL Cloud Simulator, essentially a single process version of our cloud. 00;10;20;15 - 00;10;40;06 It's very easy to use. Many of our customers use that for test and development, and the beauty with using that for testing development is there's no cost to you. There's no cost from the cloud service. You can develop your application, you can test it, and once you're ready to deploy it in the cloud, you might be able to do part of it through the UI or you could do it through your application. 00;10;40;06 - 00;11;07;14 Autumn, what makes Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service different? Well, there's a seamless multimodel. You have key value, fixed schema, you have schema-less, all at the same data store. The seamless SQL interoperates amongst any of these different kinds of data models. You have tunable ACID, you have shard local full ACID, you have parent tables for easy multiobject ACID. You can carefully balance the trade-offs of ACID and scale. 00;11;07;16 - 00;11;29;16 There is a fully managed cloud service. The throughput is provisioned, there is no lock-in. You have the ability to run as a fully managed service or you can take the NoSQL Database, run it anywhere. And if you want to run it in a hybrid environment, you can do that as well. Are there some additional resources that Oracle has, you know, where people can go to get more information? 00;11;29;18 - 00;11;56;04 I know we have the Developers Blog and blogs.oracle.com, but is there anything else? We have the Cloud Customer Connect, the developer community that we have for NoSQL. This gets monitored. We really have developers around the globe on the team so really this does get 24/7 coverage and we try to be very responsive to any types of questions that get posted on the forum and then we supply answers for all those questions. 00;11;56;06 - 00;12;18;19 Thank you so much, Autumn, for joining us through these last two episodes. We've learned so much from you. Learn more about the service by visiting mylearn.oracle.com and taking a look at our Oracle Cloud Data Management Foundations Workshop.

Video Version https://vimeo.com/stateofreadiness/norbert-majerus About the Podcast Hello, and welcome to another edition of state of readiness. I'm your host, Joseph Paris. My guest today is Alan Cruce, pilot and adventurer. I met Alan while I was on assignment in Denver. He and his team from NASA were also on assignment in Denver, separate assignments, of course. And we met as people who are on assignments, far away from home or app to meet in the hotel bar. They started sharing with me what their program was at NASA, which was SOFIA. I became completely infatuated. You see, when I was younger, I wanted to be a pilot, I wanted to be an astronaut. And I was fascinated with NASA. This was the time of the Apollo program and the Skylab program. I wrote to NASA and IBM Federal Systems many times and each time I was gifted a package of goodies; pictures, pamphlets, mission patches, the works. We all got along wonderfully. And as the night went on, they asked me if I wanted to join them to the next day for simulator training in a classic 747 (the model that was all analog). Of course, I said, Yes, and messaged my client that I was going to be late. Alan's story is a great one; earning his pilot's license before most people earn their driver's license. From then his life was one confluence of circumstances and events after another - which he shares some (but not all) - until he got his chance to fly missions for NASA as a pilot in the SOFIA program, a fascinating program that was recently terminated.

[00:00:00] Jack Briggs: Hubris is the death nail to leadership. It's the poison dart in the heart of leadership because you'll believe the things that people tell you and you will be manipulated. You will get yourself into situations with finances or with power or with relationships that will be detrimental to the organization and your own personal development and career. [00:00:25] Tommy Thomas: Our guest today is Jack Briggs, the President and CEO of the Springs Rescue Mission in Colorado Springs. Jack enjoyed a 31-year career in the United States Air Force, retiring as a major general. His final role in the Air Force was Director of Operations for the US Northern Command Headquarters in Colorado Springs. Jack is a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy. He ultimately got his doctorate in education from NYU. Along the way, he picked up master's degrees from Troy University, Budapest University of Economic Science, and the Air War College. Prior to joining the Springs Rescue Mission, Jack was a Vice President for Global resiliency and Security at NYU. [00:01:08] Tommy Thomas: Jack, welcome to NextGen nonprofit leadership. [00:01:11] Jack Briggs: Thank you. Great to see you again. [00:01:14] Tommy Thomas: It's good to see you. I remember you and I met several years ago. You were, you and your family were visiting Nashville around Christmas time and I think a mutual friend of ours, John, and I'm drawing a Blake on his last name now, but he said, you need to have lunch with Jack. He's thinking about what's after the Air Force, and it might be higher ed and I guess since I worked in higher ed a lot, John thought that would be a good idea. And as I remember it, you were two-star then and maybe up for your third star. I guess aside from the fact that I was having lunch with a two-star general, and he was asking me questions about his future, the thing I remembered that day was your family your wife and kids. I don't remember the ages of the kids, but I remember their demeanor. I thought it was so impressive for them to sit and we spent an hour, probably an hour and 15 minutes at a Mexican restaurant and they just, they were engaging, and I thought, wow that's what a family looks like, so thank you. [00:02:10] Jack Briggs: That's all their mom that has nothing to do. That's all their mom. [00:02:13] Tommy Thomas: I'd like to start at the beginning. I'm thinking back on people's upbringing. What's your most beloved memory from your childhood? [00:02:21] Jack Briggs: Wow. A lot of different things come to mind. I think the thing that stands out more than anything else was on my mother's side. My grandfather was an immigrant from England. He was an orphan and came to the United States and was a dairy farmer, and we would go to the dairy farm in Vermont. my dad was in the army and so we were in a variety of different locations, but we always rallied there as a family. And I just remember that very distinctly. I don't think I appreciated it as much as I I was a kid. But now I look back on that time where it was essentially our grandmother would kick us out the door after breakfast. We could eat outside for lunch and then we'd come back in for dinner. But we were outside just enjoying being around family and playing as kids, and it was just really a wonderful time. Tommy Thomas: Expanding on that a little bit. So maybe two or three things that you think shaped your career [00:03:13] Jack Briggs: Yeah. I would say that probably the things that shaped me most when I was growing up, one, I was raised in a Christian family. I think that foundation of respect for faith, respect for people. I think that was very pivotal. I think my decision to join the Air Force at a young age, I wanted to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force. And so that's what I ended up going to the Air Force Academy and then spending little over 30 years as an active-duty officer. Obviously that was very influential and shaped who I was marrying somebody that compliments me, meaning she fills in those gaps that I don't have real solid in my own life. She does. And that helps a lot. I'd say those three things probably. [00:03:56] Tommy Thomas: If your dad was in the army, a career Army Officer, how does the guy get the vision of being a fighter pilot in the Air Force? [00:04:02] Jack Briggs: When I was a little kid, I was about eight years old, I saw the Thunderbirds fly and I said, I want to do that. And I was the kind of kid who was pretty focused. And so I started asking around, like, how do you do that? And my dad had some friends that had been in the Air Force and they talked about going to the Air Force Academy. And so I looked that thing up in the World's book Encyclopedia. And said, okay, that's what I want to do. And took a trip out to Colorado Springs when I was in my, maybe early teens or 12 or 13, and said, okay. And so, whatever I did in high school, whatever I did as a teenager was to try to get to the Air Force Academy. And then I did and graduated and got to have the career that I dreamed of. I got to be a fighter pilot. [00:04:46] Tommy Thomas: Did you think going in it would be a career or did you think it would be a four-to-six-year stint? Jack Briggs: My initial intent was for it to be a career. And then over time it, it grew into that. [00:04:57] Tommy Thomas: What do you remember about your first command? the first time that you actually had people reporting to you? [00:05:02] Jack Briggs: That weight is interesting. It's the weight of command. It's hard to describe of but when you do it, you understand it. It was challenging. It's people and people can be challenging. But if you can develop them it's thrilling to watch somebody develop. [00:05:17] Tommy Thomas: Did you have a, a mentor or somebody that you looked up to in the service as a model or did you, were you winging it part? Pardon the pun. [00:05:25] Jack Briggs: There's no winging it. They're variety of, I, I could give you 20 names of folks. 15 of 'em. I wanted to do exactly the way they were doing it, and five of 'em, I wanted to do it exactly the opposite of the way they were doing it. But it was a learning experience at each level. I think you have to maybe take things as they come at different levels of your own capacity and capability to really grasp what you're being presented. Some of the things are over your head when you're, when it's early in your career you think you've got it, but you just don't have enough experience for it to stick. And getting out ahead of your own headlights a couple of times we'll teach you, maybe I need to go at a pace where the organization helps me to develop as I go. [00:06:06] Tommy Thomas: What did you learn as an Air Force Officer that's maybe been most helpful as you moved into the nonprofit sector? People matter and projects don't [00:06:11] Jack Briggs:. Projects are a thing to do. And I think if we look back in our lives, maybe to the last thing you ever, you did at a place you're probably not thinking about that slide deck you created or that paper you typed up or that product you put together. You're probably thinking about the people you worked and interacted with, either positively or negatively, but the people is what matters. And so taking that one step further as a leader, I think you have to frame your approach to people this way. I did it. I would always say that we're gonna advance on the mission because the mission is why we're here. [00:06:52] Jack Briggs: We're gonna focus on the welfare of the people that we lead. We're gonna focus on their welfare. Now that doesn't mean just holding their hand. It's challenging them. It's creating an environment where they can grow where they can gain more self-worth and responsibility and confidence in themselves. Last thing is being a good steward of the resources you're provided. You get time, money, equipment, people. As a leader, you need to be a good steward of those so that you can focus on the welfare of the people that you lead. So they will advance the mission. If you can get that, that sauce together, right? The problem becomes going too fast. And now you've gotta regulate how quickly the organization moves because people are bought in, they're committed because they know that you're after their welfare so that they can go do what we're supposed to do. [00:07:50] Tommy Thomas: If you invited me to a staff meeting next week and I got a chance to talk to your senior team and maybe we excused you and if I were to ask them what's the toughest part of working for Jack Briggs? What do you think I would hear? [00:07:53] Jack Briggs: Oh gosh. Huh. I guess I would say maybe the, and this is my own, this is my own issue. Sure. That this is my issue. I have a perfectionism streak that I have to make sure I don't apply to everyone else around me. Not that I am perfect, but I am the hard part, the thing about it is I am hard on myself. When mistakes happen and those sorts of things I don't typically transfer that to the folks that I lead, but I can. I can react negatively to that if I let somebody down. That, that's the thing maybe I would say is that I'll take things very personal if I'm, if I've come up short I try not to transfer that to the folks that, that I'm working with. But I think they can see it. [00:08:33] Tommy Thomas: So let's flip that question around. What do you think they'd say was the most rewarding thing of working for Jack Briggs? [00:08:39] Jack Briggs: Now this is something I have been told. Not that I would say that I believe this so much. It sounds true but I think externally I've been told this is that I have an ability to put the current situation into a broader context, whatever's happening. I'm able to bring it up and to not focus so much on the issue but get to the principle of what we're trying to do in a broader context of where we want to go. And that's, that is to relieve the pressure of people trying to just slay the immediate dragon that's right in front of 'em, but to put their own decision making into the context of where the organization is trying to go, so that then they can make independent decisions so that they're moving in the same direction all the time, even though I may not be there to help them with their deciding. Because if I have to decide everything, then I don't need them, right? I want to empower them with the framework of context and then let them go do their expertise. [00:09:39] Tommy Thomas: How far along in your Air Force career do you think you were when you began to think like that? Does that happen as a Captain or do you have to have 20 years in before you have the experience to conceptualize that way? [00:09:51] Jack Briggs: I would say it's earlier than that. I think it was my upbringing with my father. Huh. He was a coacher. He was a coach kind of guy. And he saw leadership traits in me, and we would talk about those sorts of things if, know, it was a sports or boy scouts or, whatever it happened to be. Taking the opportunity to exercise those leadership muscles and figure out that it is, it's never about you. You know that I think that he instilled in that, in me at an early age was leadership is servant. It's about serving those who you lead. Now you have to have a framework and you have to have a vision. But really then you need to support your, the folks that are gonna go do it. And that, again, that's focusing on their welfare by being a good steward of the resources you're providing. [00:10:36] Tommy Thomas: What skills or competencies did you use in the latter part of your career in the Air Force, and how does that compare or differ from today? [00:10:45] Jack Briggs: I think they're very similar. Again, people matter. Projects don't. We have all kinds of projects at the rescue mission. That's not why we're here. We're here is to help people meet them at their point of need and then help move them along a pathway away from homelessness, addiction, poverty and so the programs are tools that, but they're not the thing and the people that we're working with are the thing. And so, people matter. Projects don't. If a project isn't working or a program isn't working to achieve the objective with a client, then what we need to change the program to meet them at from a different angle. one of the things that I think makes us successful is we're very transactional with our clients. We're not we're not we're not based on altruism. I'll just put it that way. I know that sounds weird but we're not we're based on mutual respect, dignity, and transaction. Meaning for our clients, we want to elevate their selves, and help them rediscover their own worth to do that. You transact with them. You have something they want, they have something you want and you transact with them. And in doing that you level this sort of power gap that can occur in social services where if you just give things to people, you create a power gap because you're the one who has everything, and you have worth and they don't. We don't like to do that. We like to engage in transactional things. It starts off with their very first moment at the rescue mission when we do our first transaction is they want to come in because they want food or shelter or medical care or whatever. We, they have something we want. And that's this. What's your name? Not your street name, but your real name. We'd like to know your name. Now, on the street, a name is a commodity. Because if I know your name, I can find out if you've got an open warrant, I can find out if you've been a sex offender, I can find out all kinds of stuff about you if I've got your name. That's a transaction. There's a first trust moment right there. And so it's people, and it's incentivization of people. [00:12:42] Tommy Thomas: What was the hardest thing you had to learn, coming into your current role from the military and from higher education? What was the maybe the biggest difference or the hardest lesson [00:12:54] Jack Briggs: Speed. I think speed is the is one of the things. You have to have a little more patience in this world of social services and nonprofit. It doesn't move at the same speed as a military organization for a variety of reasons. It seemed obvious. But think for me it was understanding the cycle, the rhythm of decision making and that sort of thing. [00:13:15] Tommy Thomas: How did you know, or how did you get an inkling that this job was right for you? [00:13:20] Jack Briggs: I have a family history of some addiction and being on the streets a little bit. And having been around that in my family I, my eyes were open to it early. And then when I was here at the, in Colorado Springs, in my last assignment, I was on the board of directors at the Rescue Mission. When I retired and moved to New York, I stayed in contact. And when the then CEO wanted to retire, they called me and asked me if I might be interested in coming back and interviewing for the position. My wife and I had considered coming back to Colorado as our final destination. Regardless, it just seemed like good timing. [00:13:56] Tommy Thomas: You mentioned a few minutes ago that you probably weren't always ready for the for the next assignment in the Air Force. Maybe can you share with us a leadership position that was different than you anticipated and how you came out of it? [00:14:10] Jack Briggs: Oh, I think they were all different. I think this is different. But again, I don't tend to really worry too much about that anymore after those experiences because I try to do things based on principle and not just the circumstance or issue of the day. It's what are the principles involved and when you focus on those, then the leadership tends to be very similar. [00:14:31] Tommy Thomas: When you think of the, maybe the leader that maybe had the most influence in you on the Air Force, can you gve me some words and phrases that come to mind about their leadership? [00:14:40] Jack Briggs: Integrity and humility. I think the particularly in senior level leadership, whether it's the military or business or in a nonprofit if you if you can't, if you can't have, be integrated, that's the word, right? Integer meaning whole. Yeah. 1, 2, 3. Those are integers, right? They're whole being integrated is whole and having integrity is whole. It means that you're consistent, transparent, you've got a principal base for decision. that, that piece of it. The second is humility, because it's easy. Oh, so easy to get wrapped up in yourself because everybody laughs. They all stand up when you walk in the room, they're gonna say, yes, sir. There's this sort of thing around it. Not very many people will argue with you. I used to tell folks, look, hey, if you disagree with me, you need to speak up because if we both agree all the time, then one of us is extra and I'm not leaving. , I don't know. Let's, be polite about it, but if you disagree with me, do it. So the humility piece, because on the bad side of that hubris is the death nail to leadership. it's the poison dart in the heart of leadership because you'll believe the things that people tell you, you will be manipulated. You will get yourself into situations with finances or with power or with relationships that will be detrimental to the organization and your own personal development and career. [00:16:11] Tommy Thomas: Would you say, I you probably answered my next question, but would you say that's the biggest threat to derail a leader's career? [00:16:17] Jack Briggs: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely hubris. [00:16:20] Tommy Thomas: Yeah. Let's talk about hiring for a minute. What are you looking for when you hire somebody? Maybe go back to the service and there or now what do I need to be successful under Jack? [00:16:32] Jack Briggs: It depends. Am I hiring for a technical position? That requires expertise, something engineering finances, so part of it is do you have the requisite experience for the level of the position that you're being hired into? But the bedrock of that goes back to those other, those two things that I mentioned before, integrity and humility. It's just one of those things that you've gotta try to understand. And it's hard in an interview to do that. There's a variety of different ways that you can ask questions. There's a sense to it. If you've made a bad decision when you recognize that maybe early on in the relationship, then you have to make a decision to about whether the person can develop those traits or if it's just not gonna work, if the fit's not good, right? You talk about fit, right? Fit goes both ways. Do we fit the organization? Does the person fit the organization and you have to be willing to make those decisions if you've made a poor choice. Yeah. The other thing I ask people when I'm interviewing them is “which kind of person are you”? Are you the kind of person that likes to come up with the idea and then give it to somebody to execute? Or are you the kind of person that likes to hear a good idea and refine it, make it better as you execute it? Typically, people are one or the other. There are some people who are both, but typically it's one or the other. [00:17:54] Tommy Thomas: I know you've had to do this probably several times in both the military and all around. Think about giving somebody a second chance. What goes into your thought there? [00:18:06] Jack Briggs: I don't mind people making mistakes. That's not an issue. Now, if somebody routinely makes mistakes, they continually show bad judgment in not in the moral sense, but in the I had two options to pick, to make this bridge, and I keep picking the wrong one. [00:18:22] Jack Briggs: Okay. That's a, that's an issue, right? That's a skills issue. Can those skills be elevated to the right spot where they can be successful? I don't mind people making mistakes, but they, can't be their habit. On the other hand, If it's a moral or ethical or in an integrity kind of an issue we have to have a much deeper discussion about what's going on. I work at a homeless shelter. People come here scared, cold, tired, afraid injured, traumatized. Their integrity is not their first thing. Their survival mode is their first thing. And so, they'll do what they can to survive. That can be manipulation, lying, stealing, because that's all they know at the time, they're at their base. Maslow hierarchy of needs, if you will. Yeah. So, we have to replace that mindset with more positive basic survival skills. We'll help you eat we'll, help you sleep we'll, help you be safe and get some medical attention. But in return, we've gotta start rebuilding the concept that you can be trusted. [00:19:25] Tommy Thomas: Let's talk about risk for a minute. Frederick Wilcox says, progress always involves risk. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. Any thoughts there? [00:19:37] Jack Briggs: Risk is and that's something that I talk about a lot with people. What is at risk, I think is one of the key questions you must ask. If it's not a big deal, whatever's at risk, then you're the value proposition of taking a chance might be very high. On the other hand, if it's something of incredible significance is at risk you need to be taking some steps ahead of time to protect that asset or that decision making process or those people because something catastrophic could happen. So I think it depends on what you mean by risk. And again, I would go with the severity of whatever that is at risk. [00:20:11] Tommy Thomas: if you could go back in time and tell a younger version of Jack one thing, what would you say? You have choices in how you react. There are very few situations where you have no choice. [00:20:17] Jack Briggs: You may have to walk away from the situation. Maybe that's the choice that you have to make. And in that you can start to build a habit pattern of responding versus reacting. to situations because reaction is right now, it's the temporal. Now when you react it's almost physical, right? So, your body sits in the now. Your body is feeling the now your mind is capturing the past, the now and the future. And so, when you have something happen to you and you react bodily or in the now, and you don't bring your mind into that, you don't pause enough to get your mind into it. To remember the influences of the past, to to assess the situation for today, whatever it is in the moment. And then think about the impact for the future. You can be lucky and react well, or you could be unlucky and react very poorly. And typically, in those reactions. I tend to react poorly. I do better when I respond to something. Tommy Thomas: You've been listening to my conversation with Jack Briggs, the President and CEO of the Springs Rescue Mission in Colorado Springs. Next week, we will continue this conversation. I've asked Jack to give us an abbreviated version of a workshop that he gives on Crisis Management, Mitigation, and Leadership. Until then keep up the good work you're doing to help make the nonprofit sector more effective and sustainable.

This talk considers mathematical proofs through an analogy to cooking recipes: that proofs give recipes for mathematical actions to be carried out by the reader. We will see linguistic evidence that written proofs often include explicit instructions in the imperative mood, just like recipes. This will lead to philosophical insights about mathematical diagrams, reading and writing proofs, and why maths is like the Great British Bake Off.A lecture by Dr Fenner TanswellThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/recipes-proofGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
