| Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
Becoming a leader of people should be a more deliberate process than it typically is. As you’re surveying your leadership bench strength, consider the following traits of great leaders:
They develop an abundance mentality. This means leaders don’t think in terms of scarcity but rather abundance; they share credit, attention, and resources.
They demonstrate empathy. They balance speaking with listening; appreciating other people’s ideas, passions, and struggles.
They genuinely like to see others succeed. They delight in the success of those around them.
They value relationships. They understand that a leader’s role is to model and develop mutually trusting relationships to ensure smooth communication and clarity at every juncture.
They understand how to build connections and the power of culture. This requires admitting when they are wrong, offering apologies without excuses.
They constantly move outside their comfort zone to offer high-courage feedback to others on their blind spots in a way that ensures the relationship remains intact.

| Basic Training Update | Maj. Boulden
Two weeks and counting! The Unit did very well on their Endurance Hike last week and had great weather for it! Thank you for all your prayers and support. This coming week the Unit will participate in the Basic Responder Challenge. They will be divided into six different teams and compete against each other from Wednesday morning to Saturday morning in various events and challenges. Please be in prayer for the men as they take on this final step in their training.
