Some days, you just gotta burn the midnight oil at the office.
I’m not saying you work your fingers to the bone or sacrifice your health/well-being. But sometimes you gotta put a little more effort than other leaders.
If people think leadership is easy, then you are doing it right.
So as I sit in the office blaring Metallica, I also reflect for a bit as I had to advocate hard for my team this week. Seems like something so trivial, but standing firm for the team goes a long way.
What. A. Day.
Reporting live from the greenest office on campus…
September is shaping up to be a busy month. And citing recent news, I should probably beef up our security response planning.
Week-1 will include our IPPG meetings and a VIP visit from the U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary James Danley.
Week-2 planning on COOP and running through the new workplace violence program with the rest of the directorate. And as Emergency Management, we gotta follow up on the AAR/IP meeting. If all goes well, my EM program will get the chance to pilot that new apparel program.
Week-3 will be all the candidate interviews for our new Deputy Fire Chief, end of year employee evaluations, and our first ICS-300 class delivery at Argonne.
Week-4 will be assigned to supporting Region-9 in Guam.
