New Air Force Boss Shocks, Inspires Airmen with Incredible Message

That was nasty. Get my hopes up and then smack me down...

Everyone take a deep breath and read the final paragraph that is not falsely quoting the new CSAF. More specifically the first sentence ''It was in that instance that Sgt Snuffy awoke in a cold sweat... Realizing he'd been dreaming this beautiful message".

"Your duty as a leader is to work tirelessly to clear obstacles between your people and their mission. Whether this means burning red tape, providing additional training, mentoring individuals through difficult personal and professional challenges, or administering “tough love” … it’s your job to determine what is needed and then cause it to materialize. That’s the job, and if you’re trying hard to do that job, you’ll be given a chance – maybe even multiple chances – to get it right. If you’re not interested in leading … if you’re more interested in status, prestige, power, position, or any of the other various illusions that are mistaken for organizational leadership … you’re in the wrong business. This is a team sport."
