As we stand at the crossroads of technology and morality, I, Jesse Cope, invite you on a soul-searching journey through the American Soul Podcast. Imagine a society where the sanctity of marriage and the divine principles that once shaped our nation are restored—this is the vision we explore. With a heart full of gratitude and a desire to see our talents flourish for the common good, we delve into a powerful quote by Omar Bradley, contrasting our scientific triumphs with an ethical grounding that seems to lag behind. The discussion takes a turn towards the shifting sands of societal norms, where we confront the redefinitions of marriage and gender, measuring them against the historical bedrock that once held our civilization in high esteem.Navigating through the tides of change, this episode is a clarion call to place our marriages and our relationship with God at the forefront of our priorities. It's not just about managing our calendars; it's about investing in the bedrock relationships that define us, drawing inspiration from the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut to connect the dots between governance and personal commitment. As we ponder the unsettling consequences of society's drift from foundational truths, I bring to the table a candid reflection on the chaos that often ensues when divine principles are abandoned. Wrapping up with a heartfelt blessing, this episode isn't just a conversation—it's a commitment to realign our choices with our deepest values for the sake of our families, our marriages, and the very soul of our nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Omar Bradley entered World War II as George Patton's junior, but emerged as Patton's commanding officer. Nevertheless, he found himself unable to emerge from the other man's shadow. Bradley was inextricably bound to him.

Omar Bradley famously quipped about professionals talking about logistics instead of strategy, so we figured we'd talk to someone literally driving globalization for a living. The Lorryist gives us his view from the driving seat. From the possibility of AI and Elon Musk stealing his job to running the gauntlet of Calais and coming face to face with the anarchy and deprivation of European migration policy.

General James C. McConville is the 40th Chief of Staff of the United States Army, filling a critical position for our nation once occupied by individuals such as General John J. Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, and Omar Bradley. A West Point graduate, soldier, leader, and aviator, General McConville has commanded the famous 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and led in combat including in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, as Army Chief of Staff, his job is to ensure our soldiers have the training and equipment they need to accomplish their missions and return home safely. In this position, he's also a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, helping to advise some of our nation's senior civilian leaders on vital national security decisions. General McConville sat down with Bradley Bowman — senior director of FDD's Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP), filling in for host Cliff May — just days after the one-year anniversary of Putin's unprovoked large-scale invasion of Ukraine and amidst reports of Beijing considering the provision of lethal aid to Moscow for use against Ukrainians. Bradley and General McConville discuss the war in Ukraine and what's at stake for Americans, how to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base, the nature of the threat from China, and what the Army is doing to deter aggression in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. Bradley also asks him for an update on the Army's ongoing modernization efforts — the most significant the service has conducted in four decades and one that will determine whether Americans can prevail on future battlefields.

A company's success is measured by the happiness of its employees, and that goes for any industry we can think of. This sounds like basic knowledge, but increasing happiness in the workplace is one of the most overlooked and at the same time essential changes a company can make in order to be more successful. Often times even simple acknowledgements like a handshake or a hello at the beginning of the day can really impact an employee's level of engagement and create a positive workplace culture.Today, on The Melting Pot, we are joined by Tom Peters, a business management pioneer and co-author of “In Search Of Excellence”, the book that, to this day, is recognized as one of the most influential books about business practices. Through this work, Tom's ultimate goal was to motivate business owners and entrepreneurs to focus more on their employees and the way their happiness directly affects productivity and to discover their products through the eyes of their customers.Twenty books and forty years later, Tom is still one of the leading management thinkers, preaching about the importance of human connection and creating business excellence through work culture.Listen and download this fascinating episode in which Tom shares the story behind his well-known bestseller, the legacy that leaders should really focus on leaving behind and his views on women as business leaders, remote leadership and building excellent culture in this “work from home” era. In today's episode: 40 years of “In Search Of Excellence”- the book that changed the way the world does businessWhy businesses need more women leadersA leader's job is to grow peopleRemote leadership and building excellent culture and business in the “work from home” eraTom's latest book, “The Compact Guide To Excellence” Links: Website - Tom Peters.comLinkedin- Tom PetersTwitter-@tom_petersYoutube- Tom PetersBlog- tompeters!Biography- Tom PetersPublications-Tom Peters- books and articlesTom's latest book- Tom Peters' Compact Guide to Excellence  How Human Connection Can Lead A Business To Excellence With Tom Peters, Co-author Of “In Search Of Excellence” Tom Peters is a well-renowned business management pioneer and co-author of “In Search of Excellence”, the book that even 40 years after its publication is still considered to be the book that changed the way the world does business. But as he himself declares, this is just one of the numerous ventures in his life and career. Tom attended Cornell University where he received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's degree and later on, earned an MBA and a PhD in Organizational Behaviourfrom the Stanford Graduate School of business. During the war in Vietnam, he served in the U.S. Navy, making two deployments as a Navy Seabee and also participated in an exchange program between the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy (UK) which led to him serving as a midshipman on the HMS Tiger (a battlecruiser built for the Royal Navy during the 1910s). While working forMcKinsey & Company, he was inspired to develop different practices for business management that support the idea that productivity can be achieved through people that work for the company, and that businesses should not focus only on financial data. “I've spent my life trying to tell leaders to stand in the door in the morning and smile and say, glad to see you (but) the notion that the outcome in your organisation would be more affected by saying “good morning” than it would be by a business plan that could only be understood by Nobel laureates in mathematics, it just doesn't feel right to the business person. My little one-liner, one pager is business is people serving people, serving people. Leaders serving frontline employees, serving customers. It's all about that simple chain. That's the beginning, the middle, and the end.” 40 years of “In search of excellence”- the book that changed the way the world does business Almost 40 years after its original publication, “In Search of Excellence” remains a widely read classic and an influential book for leaders and managers. When Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were asked to do research on “culture” (or, as Tom translates it, “the way we do things around here”), they had the opportunity to meet John Young, the President of Hewlett Packard, one of the young companies that at the time was literally transforming the world. There, he got introduced to MBWA (management by wandering around) a style of business that offers managers the opportunity to connect directly with employees and collect information, deal with suggestions or complaints, and generally keep track of the organisation and increase productivity. “That hour in Hewlett Packard, in retrospect obviously, I wouldn't have a sense of it at the time, changed my life more than anything. What I learned from MBWA is that leadership is an intimate act. It is about human interaction, whether it's the founder of the company, uh, or whomever and the 26-year-old engineer. Today, we call it culture, but it's actually the humanity of the organization.” But, four decades later, Tom thinks that companies still have a hard time realising the importance of employees and how their happiness unequivocally affects productivity. “I find it as hard to sell today as it was years and years ago. People still wanna work on that hard stuff. They still wanna get the plan right. You know, my favourite quote of all is a general Omar Bradley quote: “Amateurs talk about strategy, professionals talk about logistics”. You can have the world's greatest strategy, but when you land on Omaha Beach on D-Day, unless the bullets are there to meet the guns, you know, all that other crap is immaterial.” A leader's legacy is to develop people Tom Peters remains to this day focused on putting people first and believes that training leaders to stay in intimate touch with the front-liners who do the real work is the best thing anyone can do for their company. “The role of a leader is to develop people. The leader is not supposed to be the best engineer. The leader is supposed to be the person who takes that group of 15 engineers and allows them to flourish and learn.”And most importantly, as Tom says, the true measure of a leader's legacy is not the amount of money he collected in his career, but the number of people whose lives he managed to transform and improve while they were under his command. “I did a lot of running around and speaking and I used PowerPoint slides. And my favourite one of all the millions had a tombstone on it, and on the tombstone said “$26,423,892 and 8 cents. Joe's net worth at the close of the market on the day he died”. And my comment is nobody's ever had a tombstone with their net worth on it.” Why businesses need more women leaders The stereotype that the business world is a male-dominated industry still exists. Companies need to renounce these old gender bias practices and realise that the perspective a woman brings into a business can breed creativity and innovative ideas that can push that organisation forward. Everything, from the way they evolved over time to the basic human characteristics that they possess, makes women better candidates to create and develop communities. There are even numerous studies that claim women are significantly “better-measured leaders than men”, says Tom, and the reticence regarding women's leadership is just another consequence of the fact that “we're still living in a boys' world.” Remote leadership and building excellent culture and business in the “work from home” era Despite his former beliefs, after these two years of Covid restrictions, Tom  is now convinced that there is as much humanity and interaction in a remote environment as there is in a normal in-office attendance. “I still believe in the value of getting together, it's not a matter of one or the other, but I really believe that you can have an intimate, caring, people-centric organization where 98% of what you do is done remotely.” It was also during that Covid period that Tom developed the “Covid 19 Seven Leadership Commandments” which summarised, reveal “the only thing that matters in the end”, which is “helping people grow, thrive and have better lives” because ultimately “the right thing to do is also the profitable thing to do”. “ The Compact Guide To Excellence” When asked about the book he prefers out of the 20 he's written so far, Tom admits that the latest always becomes his favourite. But he feels that “The Compact Guide To Excellence”, co-written with Nancy Green, is really the first one of his books he's fallen in love with. “I've been writing about and talking about design and the power of design for 25 years, but the power of this book is its look, feel, taste, touch, and smell as much as it is the words that are inside.” Book recommendations:Stephen Trzeciak, Anthony Mazzarelli- Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference Nicole Perlroth- This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends  Enjoyed the show?Leave Us A Review

Omar Nelson Bradley was a GI general in World War II, often overshadowed by Eisenhower. However, his singular and powerful approach to leadership was important to the allies victory. So why is he not as well remembered and what does his legacy say about how to lead? In this episode of Next Wave Leadership, Dov Pollack speaks with Steve Ossad, a military biographer and the author Of Omar Nelson Bradley America's GI General, about Omar Bradley and his leadership. They talk about Steve's background and what led him to write the book.

There's an old saying that nice people finish last. And sadly, it's true. This is Frank Rolfe , the Self Storage University Podcast. We're going to talk about how nice people do tend to not get what they want out of self storage investing or management, and then how you can learn to be a little tougher for the sake of your investment.Let's start off with the definition of nice. Nice is defined by Webster's as pleasant, agreeable and satisfactory. It means basically, you try and please others. The problem is when you're buying, or operating a self storage facility, pleasing others isn't always your best option. Now, when pleasing others means your customers, sure, then you want to be nice. But when we're buying that storage facility, and when we're being a tough, hardened operator, trying to extract as much money as we can out of it, being all kinds of pleasant, and agreeable is typically not the best modus operandi.So why can't you be nice? Well, let's break it down into pieces. Let's start with buying a self storage facility. We are all in competition with each other. There is a defined number of storage properties in America, roughly around 40,000 of them. So what you have is you have people who are all vying with each other to buy those storage properties at the lowest price they humanly can. So we are locked in mortal combat, both with other storage buyers, as well as the sellers of those facilities. Now, if you just turn the other cheek, if every intersection, you allow the other person to turn, first, what will happen is you'll be beaten out on every deal you ever look at. So the whole concept here is that I am more concerned about what other people think than I am my own opinions and future, then sadly you're in the wrong position.Time and time again, you'll call the broker, call the seller, they'll say, "Well, I have someone else looking at it too." And you'll say, "Oh, well, gosh, well, I guess let them go first. And if that doesn't work, then come back to me." You know, sellers can hear in your voice whether or not you have that fiery passion that typically leads to a deal closing. And if you don't have that, if they don't hear that kind of enthusiasm, then they'll go with the other person. And when you're trying to be nice, you don't have that. You're trying to be agreeable and you don't really show that that fiery passion. So it's just never really been a good thing.Now, that's not entirely true. When you're bonding with a mom and pop seller, or bonding with a broker, then sometimes it's advantageous for you. Because when you when you are nice person, they like nice people. But as far as getting your foot in the door, then nice people do typically finish last, sadly. And then you have the fact that you are also competing for the best price you can get on the facility. If you try be too nice with the seller, if your whole attitude is you're more concerned about the seller than yourself, then you'll lock yourself into contracts time and time again, which are too high or could have been lower. The seller, as much as he may like you, he also wants to get the best price that he can. So you've got to make sure that you strike a tough deal, as tough as you can humanly strike, to make sure that you pay as little for the facility as you can.Then comes the issue of operating it. Most Self Storage properties have a manager. And studies have shown that when it comes to an owner and a manager, typically being the nice person isn't the most successful. There was something on PBS years ago where they took two basketball coaches, and they took 10 college basketball players, and they had each coach take a different demeanor. One was the nice coach, the happy coach, and the other was the tough and the mean coach. So what would happen is the guy would try and shoot the free throws and they had each player try and do 10 free throws. So there was basically 100 potential points. 10 people, 10 free throws. So the nice coach, when they would throw the free throw and miss he'd say, "Well, that was a good try. Here try it again. Oh, don't worry about that one here. Try again." The tough coach would say, "You're never going to make it into the NBA if you can't do better than that. Oh my gosh, you're not paying attention at all. What are you doing? Where's your posture?"Well, guess who won? The nice coach or what people would say the tough, the mean coach? Well, the mean coach clobbered the nice coach almost by a two to one margin. That's because the players under the mean coach but they were more focused. They had more of an adrenaline rush. They really, really, really wanted to make the basket. But with a nice coach, they just didn't much care. They were already thinking about, you know what they were going to do next. Because they knew that no matter what they did nice coach wouldn't yell at them, everything would be fine. That's how it is with your property too. So if you're a boss, if you supervise your manager with the attitude that nothing they do, can be wrong, that it's all good and you're just trying to be the nice guy. Well, then they will have a very lackluster performance just like those basketball players did.If however you say, "Alright, here's the deal. Here's our budget. How are we doing on hitting it? Wait, what do you mean, we're not hitting it on the revenue? What do you mean, you did what with that expense? Sadly, even though we'd all rather be more pleasant, that just doesn't work as well. It's been scientifically proven that if you own the property, and you're managing it, the tougher more unhappy person does better than the one that is nice.So if we're all in agreement, that being too nice is not necessarily the best attribute in buying and running a storage facility well, how can you toughen yourself up? We're all born with this inherent desire to be liked. And if you look at small children, invariably, they're always nice. We all started off nice. So how can you become a little less nice when it's to your betterment? Well, first thing you need to do is you need to understand that you only live once, you're kind of on a mission. If you're going to buy a self storage facility, then this is your shot, this is the only shot you have, you're going to have to face the reality that it is a dog eat dog world, it's a competitive world out there. And even though you may be nice in business, let's not be so nice. You have to kind of compartmentalize your brain. In your personal life when you're around your personal friends and family, in your own personal pursuits,  then you can be as nice as you want. However, when you are onstage in a business format, you have to be a different persona, you got to be a whole lot tougher.If y'all ever seen an interview like Michael Jackson, the pop singer from the past? You know, when he was onstage, he was extremely outgoing and loud. But offstage, he could barely talk he was so insanely shy. Because he had developed a second persona, which is what allowed him to be the superstar he was because the real him would have never been successful at all. That's the same thing you have to do. You have to realize that even though you like to be a nice person, and you want to be a nice person in your personal realm, that you have to be a lot more hardened when it comes to work. So sadly, you're going to have to if you don't have that natural, tough persona, you're going to have to develop that.And then you also need to read lots of biographies are different people. I like read biographies on business, and also war, and look at how those people think. Again, you have people who are typically very nice people like Omar Bradley, the American general in WWII. Super nice guy but when he was in battle, he was super tough, a super tough boss, because he knew how important it was to win. So maybe the key to it all is just to acknowledge and embrace the mantra that you want to win. You want to win at finding that storage property and you want to win at operating it, you want to win and hit in your budget, you want to win maximizing the income from it.So really, maybe the key to being the tough person you need to be is just to acknowledge that self storage, investing in many ways is just like a sport. Maybe that's the best way to think of it. So if you have a child who plays sports, you'll know that all the time, their initial personality may be super nice, but part of the key of the coach is to teach them it's okay to be tough. It's okay not to be nice when they're engaged in the sport. And if your sport is storage, investing, then you have to acknowledge that you've got to adopt the personality, the framework that is the best for you to succeed. And that means that you can't just always be nice. This is Frank Rolfe, the Self Storage University podcast. Hope you enjoyed this. Talk to you again soon.

Rachel is the author of: Marshall—A Statesman Shaped in the Crucible of War. This Encore Episode was first released on November 11, 2019. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_George_Marshall.mp3 George C. Marshall was named the Army chief of staff in Washington on the day that Nazi tanks rolled through Poland on their way to near complete domination of Eastern and Western Europe. He was the first five-star general in American history. From that day forward, he transformed the American military into a level of power never before seen. He oversaw the country's and the allies' military strategy that led to unconditional victories in Europe and in the Pacific. In addition to Europe and the Pacific, he oversaw military operations in China and the Mediterranean. He had the respect of world leaders that included President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, and of course throughout all of the armed forces. He was credited with finding the generals who would win the war, including generals Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley and George Patton. He was one of the architects of the D-Day invasion and was set to command the invasion of Normandy, when FDR decided to keep General Marshall in Washington. FDR said to his general, “I didn't feel that I could sleep at ease if you were out of Washington.” George Marshall's accomplishments are many. Once the war ended, he retired from the military, and in one day was called upon by President Harry Truman to address China's civil war as the president's special envoy. President Truman tapped Marshall to serve as his Secretary of State, dealing with the Berlin Blockade, and then to develop and implement the European Recovery Program, better known as the Marshall Plan. Along the way, George Marshall would become president of the American Red Cross, and President Truman's Secretary of Defense during the Korean War. He earned the Nobel Peace Prize. George Marshall was a study in contrasts. He was the commander of the most powerful military the world, yet he was seen as a man of quiet, even humble confidence in his own ideas. He operated in a highly political environment with the world's leading politicians, yet he refused to become political. Often, when he was asked of his own party affiliation, he said he was an Episcopalian. In the process, he won the respect, admiration and the trust of both Democrat and Republican leaders.

Here we delve deeply into the narcissistic personality: What is it and what strategies we might employ to work with the narcissists who are close to us. Campbell describes three types of narcissists: grandiose, vulnerable, and personality disorder. All narcissists have some form of thinking that they are better than other people and deserve special treatment. W. Keith Campbell, Ph.D. is a professor of psychology at the University of Georgia, and is a nationally recognized expert on narcissism, society, and generational change. Both his work and lectures expose the rise of narcissism and individualism more generally, and its influence on every level of society. His books include When You Love A Man Who Loves Himself, How To Deal With A One Way Relationship (Sourcebook 2005) and The New Science Of Narcissism : Understanding One Of The Greatest Psychological Challenges Of Our Time-- and What You Can Do About It.

June 1, 2020 - Meet the commanders who led America to Victory in mankind's most terrible conflict before they had stars on their shoulders. Our guide on this journey is 82nd Airborne veteran and paratrooper Benjamin Runkle. He brings us Generals in the Making: How Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Their Peers Became the Commanders Who Won World War II. It's the first comprehensive history of these men during the interwar years, when the already lean U.S. Armed Forces found themselves squeezed even further by the Great Depression and isolationist sentiment, all while facing strains on marriages, bouts with the bottle, the deaths of wives or children, backwater postings, and stagnant chances for promotion. In addition to his service, for which he earned a Bronze Star during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Benjamin Runkle has worked as a presidential speechwriter, Department of Defense official, director at the National Security Council, and professional staff member on the House Armed Services Committee. He is currently a senior policy fellow with Artis International and adjunct lecturer in Johns Hopkins University's Global Security Program. He holds a PhD from Harvard. Check out Dr. Runkle's previous book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts from Geronimo to Bin Laden. You can find more of his work in major newspapers and periodicals, sharing his insights as America navigates the dangers of the 21st Century world. Also in this episode, we compared the wilderness years of generals like Ike, Patton, Douglas MacArthur, Matthew Ridgway, and Omar Bradley to Ulysses S. Grant's similar struggles between the Mexican and Civil Wars. Offering up a question on those parallels was Donald L. Miller, who recently joined us to discuss his book, Vicksburg: Grant's Campaign That Broke the Confederacy.

As a young officer in World War I, George Marshall's sterling reputation started forming when he planned and executed a nighttime movement of more than a half million troops from one battlefield to another, leading to the armistice. Between the world wars, he helped modernize combat training, restaffed the U.S. Army's officer corps with future leaders such as Dwight Eisenhower, Omar Bradley and George Patton, and served as army chief of staff in the run up to Work War II, when his commitment to duty came face-to-face with the realities of Washington politics. Roll sets his biography of Marshall against the backdrop of five major conflicts—the two world wars, Palestine, Korea and the Cold War—and focuses on the nuances and ambiguities of Marshall's education in the use of military, diplomatic and political power while watching America emerge as a global superpower. Roll's conclusion could hardly be clearer: Principled leadership matters. MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond NOTES MLF: Humanities Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Omar Bradley commanded more Americans in combat than any other General before or since, at its peak his 12th Army Group numbered 1.7 million men! In the pantheon of World War II leaders he is over shadowed by bigger characters such as Patton or MacArthur. Yet in 1943 Patton was his commander, but by 1944 he commanded Patton.

This is a great biography, Omar Bradley: General at War, full of details about some of the most iconic battles of WW2. Gen. Bradley always played second fiddle to braggards like Macarthur and showmen like Patton. In fact, he was trusted and respected all the way up to Ike and even FDR. One of the great stories in the book, that I had never heard before, involved FDR calling Bradley to the White House to brief him on the Italian operations. During that meeting, FDR let Bradley know about the development of the Atom bomb, a secret even VP Truman did not know about. The book was written by NY Times bestselling author Jim DeFelice. Jim was a really good guy except for one thing that was, well, disappointing (Yankee fan). Thankfully, the book is great!
