In this powerful episode of Lead Into It, I sit down with Maj Gen Dan Tulley, Director of Operations at U.S. Transportation Command—and someone I had the honor of serving with over a decade ago. We trace his leadership journey from his ROTC days at Duke University to commanding at a global scale, uncovering the real-world lessons that shaped his leadership style. Tulley opens up about a pivotal in-flight moment that cemented his trust in training, the decisions he faced as tensions with Iran rose, and how he kept his team informed, empowered, and motivated during COVID.He also gets real about what makes leadership sustainable: humility, trust, and letting go of the need to have all the answers. One of my favorite takeaways? “Nobody wants to be that single leader that everything depends on.”Whether you're leading five people or five thousand, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom on:Building high-performing, resilient teamsMaking decisions under pressure (and creating space for them)Leading with humility and intentionBalancing strategic and tactical thinkingSpending your “leadership capital” wiselyGrab your headphones—this is one episode you don't want to miss.Let's keep the conversation going—connect with me on Instagram and LinkedIn, subscribe to my Sunday newsletter, or reach out at sara@leadintoitco.

Many of the companies who currently handle military household goods moves have been vocal in their criticism of DoD's new contract to overhaul the system. Up until now, they've been pressing the department to make changes to the Global Household Goods contract (GHC). Now though, under the auspices of a new coalition called Movers for America, they're looking to stop its implementation altogether.Although GHC has been in the works for years — the final solicitation was issued in 2019 — implementation is only now beginning, because of a series of bid protests and technical challenges. HomeSafe, the eventual winner of the up-to-$17.9 billion contract, only began moving shipments via its subcontractors last month.Tim Helenthal, the CEO of National Van Lines and a member of the new Movers for America group, said DoD's established moving companies have been working for months with U.S. Transportation Command to resolve their concerns, but without any real success.

Why Trust, Readiness, and Humanity are Important in Crisis Management  Shep Hyken interviews Chief Master Sergeant Brian P. Kruzelnick, a.k.a. Chief BK, Command Senior Enlisted Leader for U.S. Transportation Command. He discusses integrating crisis management and training into everyday business practices and organizational culture.  NOTE: This episode of Amazing Business Radio is a departure from the emphasis on customer service and CX. He shared how he and his team managed major crises, such as 2021 evacuation in Afghanistan and  humanitarian aid in countries that need it. While his “customers” are different than most of the people listening to this show, the lessons are powerful in any situation, big or small, including customer complaints and issues.      This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more:    How can effective crisis management contribute to a company's success and customer experience?  How can leaders effectively prepare for and navigate crises in their organizations?  What lessons can leaders learn from military training to enhance their organization's readiness for challenging times?  How can leaders effectively build trust within their organizations?  What role do empathy and humanity play in customer service and crisis management?  Top Takeaways:    In times of crisis, leaders must be prepared to respond effectively and execute plans thoughtfully. Just as the military trains for the worst moments, an organization can thrive even in chaotic situations by being well-prepared and having capable team members who understand their equipment and protocols.     After an organization successfully handles a crisis or a "down day," the next step is thinking long-term and figuring out how to bake the solution into the culture. If you are making changes, make sure your employees understand where they fit in, how it affects them, and how they can contribute in a positive way.    Consistent training contributes to an organization's culture of excellence. Like a well-maintained car, a highly skilled team delivers amazing customer service and effectively navigates every crisis.    Onboarding sets the tone. Effective onboarding sets the norms and expectations within an organization. New employees must clearly understand their roles and align with the company's mission and values.    Empowerment is when employees do not have a boss or someone with a higher position than them peering over their shoulders, they can still make confident decisions because they understand the organization's culture and their leaders' intent.    Plus, Chief BK shares amazing crisis stories from the military that companies and customer support teams can learn from. Tune in!  Quote:   "Crisis either fractures or forges a leader. An organization can see how to go forward post-crisis by how the leader handled the situation during the crisis."    About:    Chief Master Sergeant Brian P. Kruzelnick, a.k.a. Chief BK, is the Command Senior Enlisted Leader for the U.S. Transportation Command. He is a military leader with over 30 years of experience in crisis management and disaster relief.  Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio.

A long-awaited overhaul of the Defense Department's system for moving military members' household goods from place to place will be delayed yet again — and for a still-undetermined period of time, officials said Thursday.Unlike previous setbacks, the latest stumbling block isn't related to the numerous legal challenges that have faced the Global Household Goods contract (GHC), which is worth up to $17.9 billion over nine years. This time, IT integration problems are to blame.Officials at U.S. Transportation Command first noticed the issues during an initial round of IT testing in August, and they first believed the bulk of them would be resolved by the end of 2023. But integrating the government's systems with the new ones being built by HomeSafe, the winner of the new household goods contract, turned out to be even more complex than it first appeared.

To help service members and their families gain a better understanding of PCSing and moving personal property, this podcast covers the differences between containerization and crating. Containerization is the use of large external containers to transport entire personal property shipments. Containerization is used for all shipments moving to, from, or in between overseas locations. Containers keep everything together to help prevent loss and reduce damage associated with handling household goods. Crating is the term used for smaller internal crates used to pack items the moving company feels need additional protection to transport safely. Crating can be utilized during any type of household goods shipment no matter the destination. Criteria for using containerization for domestic moves and crating for specialty items, whether to keep crates from move to move, how containers are sealed with tamper-evident seals to prevent opening during transportation, and what qualifies for additional unaccompanied baggage shipments for overseas moves are all discussed. Host Bruce Moody speaks with Jason Middleton, chief of Defense Personal Property Management Office in Europe for U.S. Transportation Command. The office is U.S. Transportation Command's point of contact for any personal property issue within Europe, Africa, or the Middle East.

Mold is a natural part of the environment but can be a large concern during the moving process. A contaminated personal property shipment can spread mold to other cargo and personal property shipments in a trailer, warehouse or a ship, as well as into a service member's new home. It's important to take immediate steps to mitigate and remediate mold as soon as it's discovered. Host Bruce Moody speaks with Jason Middleton, chief of Defense Personal Property Management Office in Europe for U.S. Transportation Command. The office is U.S. Transportation Command's point of contact for any personal property issue within Europe, Africa, or the Middle East. They discuss steps to prevent mold contamination as well as the process to contain and manage mold at the three stages of your move — at pickup, during transit, and at delivery.

On this episode of On DoD, a bit of a logistics focus. First, we talk with Tim Walton, a fellow at the Hudson Institute, about DoD's somewhat surprising decision to close down its Red Hill fuel storage facility near Honolulu. We'll also talk with Al Thompson, the CEO of HomeSafe Alliance. That's the company U.S. Transportation Command finally selected to reform the military's household goods moving system. HomeSafe has a green light to get to work on the multibillion dollar contract, now that the Government Accountability Office has dismissed each of the bid protests that challenged it.

There's still a chance the Defense Department's multibillion dollar household goods moving contract could get derailed by another round of bid protests at the Court of Federal Claims. But as of now, it's full steam ahead. After the Government Accountability Office denied five separate protests last week, U.S. Transportation Command immediately lifted a stop work order. That lets winning vendor HomeSafe Alliance start the implementation process for the massive transformation of the military's moving system. Al Thompson is HomeSafe's CEO. He talked with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu about some of the next steps.

On today's episode of The Daily Scoop Podcast, the U.S. Transportation Command is migrating its cloud applications to the Air Force's Cloud One platform. A Marine Corps financial management transition to a system at the Defense Logistics Agency is complete. Former Deputy Chief Financial Officer at the Department of Defense Mark Easton discusses how transitions like this help organizations audit themselves and help external auditors audit them better. Agencies have another year to move contracts to the new Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) vehicle. 15 agencies got failing grades in the recent FITARA scorecard for their transition to EIS. Jim Williams, principal at Schambach and Williams Consulting and former deputy administrator and acting administrator of the General Services Administration, explains the challenges agencies are having in moving to EIS and how they can be resolved.

U.S. Transportation Command's first attempt to reform the military moving system got derailed by a successful bid protest. Now it's reawarded the Global Household Goods Contract to one of the companies that lost the first time around. The initial award is worth an estimated $6.2 billion over the next three year, and could be worth up to $20 billion if DoD renews its options for a full nine years. The winning firm this time is called HomeSafe Alliance. It's a new joint venture owned by KBR and Tier One Relocation. Al Thompson is HomeSafe's CEO, and a former director of the Defense Logistics Agency. He talked with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu about how the contract and the reforms will work.

On this week's show, we talk to Al Thompson, the CEO of Homesafe Alliance, the joint venture U.S. Transportation Command just picked for a $6.2 billion contract to overhaul the military's household goods moving system. Later, Jared talks with Maj. Gen. Rob Collins, the Army's program executive officer for command, control and communications-tactical, Brig. Gen. Jeth Rey, the director of the Network Cross-Functional Team at Army Futures Command, amd Joe Welch, the director of the Army C5ISR center about the Army's new Unified Network Plan.

*CIA Director Burns met with Taliban leader in Kabul: US official* It is the highest-level meeting between the Biden administration and Taliban since the fall of the Afghan capital By Jennifer Griffin , Ronn Blitzer | Fox News CIA Director William Burns secretly met with Taliban leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in Kabul on Monday, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Fox News. First reported by the Washington Post, the rendezvous was the highest-level in-person meeting between the Biden administration and the Taliban since the group took control of Afghanistan's capital earlier this month. BIDEN FACES PRESSURE FROM ALLIES ON AFGHANISTAN DEADLINE PRIOR TO G7 MEETING, TALIBAN ISSUES WARNING The meeting took place as the U.S. continued to evacuate Americans still remaining in Afghanistan and Afghan allies who had assisted U.S. forces before their government fell to the Taliban. France, the UK and Germany have all mentioned extending the Aug. 31 withdrawal deadline in order to carry out an orderly exit, the BBC reported. "We are concerned about the deadline set by the United States on August 31," Jean-Yves Le Drian, France's foreign minister, told the network. "Additional time is needed to complete ongoing operations." "The British position is we want to stay longer if it is possible to do so," U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said, according to The Associated Press. STATE DEPT. DENIES RELYING ON TALIBAN PLEDGE TO ALLOW SAFE PASSAGE FOR EVACUEES: ‘THIS IS NOT ABOUT TRUST' Wallace, however, told Sky News that he is pessimistic about the U.S. extending their timeline. "I think it is unlikely," he told Sky News. "Not only because of what the Taliban has said but if you look at the public statements of President Biden I think it is unlikely." The Pentagon said in a Monday briefing that it will consider leaving American troops in Afghanistan past Aug. 31, in consultation with Biden and allies, but dismissed the idea of the U.S. military taking back Bagram Airfield to speed up evacuations. Meanwhile, Taliban officials told Reuters that they are unwilling to extend the deadline and the "occupation" by U.S. forces. The group warned about "consequences" if the deadline is extended. The U.S. ramped up its evacuation efforts in recent days, getting roughly 21,600 people out of Afghanistan in a 24-hour period that ended early Tuesday morning. A senior U.S. official is describing it as "an historic operation in scope and scale." According to Gen. Stephen Lyons, who is in charge of U.S. Transportation Command, a C-17 is taking off from Kabul every 48 minutes. Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said the progress has been aided by cooperation from the Taliban. "Thus far, and going forward, it does require constant coordination and deconfliction with the Taliban," Kirby said. "What we've seen is, this deconfliction has worked well in terms of allowing access and flow as well as reducing the overall size of the crowds just outside the airport." Fox News' Edmund DeMarche and Cameron Cawthorne, and The Associated Press contributed to this report. Jennifer Griffin currently serves as a national security correspondent for FOX News Channel .

The U.S. Government Accountability Office has overturned the award of a potential nine-year, $19.9 billion contract to a New Jersey company for moving military household goods worldwide. The lucrative Global Household Goods Contract, first awarded in April to American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier Group, or ARC, of Parsippany, N.J., is intended to address military families' long-standing problems with delays and damaged goods during moves to assignments, according to the Department of Defense U.S. Transportation Command. The GAO decision came in response to protests lodged by two of ARC's competitors, alleging that ARC lacks the experience and capability to move the estimated 400,000 members of the military and their families, as well as DOD employees, across the globe each year.

Officials at U.S. Transportation Command say they're getting close to awarding a multibillion dollar contract. It'll overhaul the system for moving servicemembers household goods across the country and around the world. TRANSCOM says it's received several credible bids from industry, but still needs to resolve concerns on Capitol Hill before it moves ahead. Federal News Network's Jared Serbu has the latest.

The Defense Department is always thinking about cybersecurity these days, but what happens when it needs to interact with private sector networks? U.S. Transportation Command has been struggling with that issue for some time. But the new nominee to head the command and a prominent senator think it's time to crack down harder on business cybersecurity practices. Federal News Radio's Scott Maucione joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk more.

The U.S. Transportation Command brought in the U.S Digital Service after its Defense Personnel Property System suffered a two-week outage. Executive Editor Jason Miller has more on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Some 400,000 service members move every year and have had to deal with antiquated technology that barely supports their moves. The U.S. Digital Service is beginning to relieve some of the stress that comes with moving. Lauryn Fantano, a project manager and designer, and Elliott Wilkes, a digital services expert, at the USDS are working with the U.S. Transportation Command. They told Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller on Federal Drive with Tom Temin about their efforts to transform the application that service members use to track and expedite relos.

U.S. Transportation Command is in charge of moving physical objects like people and materiel. Command leadership sees one of their biggest threat in cyberspace. TRANSCOM is one of the biggest bridges between the military and civilian businesses, and it is feeling vulnerable because of it. Now TRANSCOM Commander General Darren McDew wants Congress to do something about it. Federal News Radio's Scott Maucione joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss further.

The military can't go far or do much without reliable delivery of cargo. That's where the U.S. Transportation Command comes in. Transcom excellence is all about logistics. Now it's completed what it calls a "proof of principle" test of an off-the-shelf, commercial transportation management system. It promises to improve logistics and lower costs for this crucial function. Kelly Mueller McNulty and Gary Hermann, logistics management specialists for U.S. Transcom, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk more about the project.
