Within the government sector, I have executed senior-level experience representing successfully the policies and objectives, both orally and written to a wide variety of internal and external customers. This competency includes the ability to negotiate and defend official positions, and to identify, analyze, and resolve administrative problems. I have worked collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders to manage these missions to ensure mission accomplishment, to include major program transformations including organizational and service delivery models to provide the people and process plans that are necessary to complement the technology changes that enable the success of these organizations.

During my career, I have consistently used a results-driven approach in handling all aspects of my responsibilities. I effectively leveraged my experience and leadership, human capital resources, technology, and program management tools to achieve these results. While a program manager of a worldwide command, I was asked to lead an initiative to improve the security of the command, which was suffering from many security incidents. The initiative began in September 2005. The agency commander (4-star General) was new to the command and was very security conscious. I was under tremendous pressure from the highest levels of the organization to show improvement. In fact, I was required to make weekly reports on our progress.
In order to address the initiative, I formed a cross functional team consisting of me, and program subordinates from across the command, which included the Army Chief of Staff. There were numerous and overlapping timelines and project items. Each item had both a team member assigned to it and an allotted amount of time for completion. I kept all project timelines very tight in order to mitigate complacency and keep the overall momentum at an acceptable pace. I delegated specific duties to team members and held each one accountable for efficient time management and effectiveness. I held weekly and monthly meetings, as well as any
It was the spring of 2011, and I was sitting behind my desk along with my colleagues in the Communications Security section of the 1st Information Operations Battalion’s Vulnerability Assessment Detachment. Our section NCOIC had just been relieved of duty for violating several Army regulations and security protocols while an individual augmentee deployed to Afghanistan, representing our organization within a special operations Task Force. While his conduct had nothing to do with the mission nor our section, his abject failure to display any integrity or adhere to the Army Values reflected very poorly on our unit and cast our office in a particularly unflattering light...not to mention the additional scrutiny from our chain of command.
As an officer in the United States Army, it has been imperative for me to understand every facet of leadership and why it remains important to be an effective leader. During this course, I have learned some valuable lessons about myself as a leader and how I can improve on my leadership ability in the future. The journal entries along with the understanding of available leadership theories have been an integral part of my learning during this course. For all of the journals and assessments that I completed, I feel it has given me a good understanding of my current leadership status and my future potential as a leader. All of the specific assessments looked at several areas in regards to leadership; these assessments covered several
I have worked in four large organizations with an average lifespan of four years per project. During life of projects, I oversaw the establishment and management of the project coordination and technical teams, and, provided overall leadership in many project departments. My main functions focused on technical advice, management of the design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all components of the project that included; program development, capacity building, and advocacy. I ensured adherence to the work plans, programmatic and financial reporting requirements; managed country and field offices, and, ensured their efficient operations. I supervised and
According to the case, I work for Anne Nelson, the state’s CIO, and she has asked me to lead a team to research the ability to improve the state’s technological offerings by incorporating web services (Schneider, 2012). In theory, web services should allow departments to offer more functionality to their various customers, with lower cost and manpower, and Anne would like me to concentrate on four key departments within our state government.

During a major exercise in preparation for an upcoming deployment, I was tasked to lead the Joint Task Force Operation Center. The exercise requires the integration of many parties who are not part of the same countries (or even a team). As the facilitator, I knew I had to go about this by wearing my creative worker hat to make this a successful exercises. Therefore, being the person that will bring this all together, I knew I must exercise leadership in a highly ambiguous context. The exercise did not have no clear yardstick for how the mission should perform and there are were no clear rules for who gets to control the output. With that being said, I became that effective leader by creating a share purpose in these ambiguous circumstances
For two weeks, I had a staff meeting every morning with my staff. The problem was all the issues came from the Iraqis, but all the solutions came from me. On the third week, I placed myself out of any decision making and informed the command staff they would make any future decisions and correct any problems. I would continue to assist and advice but they were to take full responsibility for their unit and security. Looking back, I realized that I had applied the SOF imperative “Operate With and Through Others.” I did not choice the leaders of that unit, I had my Iraqi counterparts do that. After the training was complete, I became transparent and the Iraqi command staff took control and assumed all authority and responsibility of the unit.
In 2006 while working at the Army Materiel Command (SMC) my command hired a new Chief Information Officer (CIO) and a new director of operations. The new CIO and director clashed and soon the new director departed in after just three months. This left our operations directorate without leadership, and IT support and service started to suffer greatly. The CIO was taking complaints from fellow SESs about the degraded service and complaints from users tripled. These complaints, coupled with the growing dissatisfaction from the leadership, also impacted the CIO reputation to achieve greater goals as it was assumed by his peers that if cannot support a large HQ element, how could he possibly support 100k plus person worldwide command. I was
The United States Army has implemented models called the Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs) and the Operations Process in order to facilitate a commander 's capacity to effectively and efficiently organize a task. When these models are executed together, they create a framework for leaders at various levels to excel in any situations they might encounter. Understanding the significance of the relationship between these models requires an in-depth understanding of each of them specifically. Each step of the Troop Leading Procedures contains numerous factors which reflect upon the other steps as well as the entire Operations Process. Likewise, each aspect of the Operations Process profoundly influences the decisions made throughout the TLPs. When applied together correctly, the Operations Process and Troop Leading Procedures provide a structure for strong and adaptable operational leadership.
These experiences have sharpened communication skills so that I can conduct investigations in a respectful and consistent manner and prepare clear and detailed reports in timely fashion. I know the value of accountability and how to use of government resources wisely. I understand the importance of promoting legislative directives, initiating detailed investigations, providing clear reports on findings, and making recommendations for future positive growth. I believe that I am the perfect candidate for this position, knowing fully that this position will present many opportunities for my own personal growth in the field of
Taking initiative is an important factor to time management, because to get all of the tasks done for the day one must have the drive to do so. Now not all tasks are done alone and most are performed by a squad or company, they must all have the ambition and motivation to achieve the ultimate goal. For a squad to have the motivation and ambition to move forward in the day they have to know the tasks and the end goal. To create initiative one must instill trust and confidence in others to get the tasks done, usually this is done by a fellow co worker or leader. When a leader is held in the highest standings his soldiers will move mountains to complete a task, only because they know that this leader is truly looking out for their well being. On the other hand if the soldiers know that the leader will not support, trust or build confidence within the group all will fail and the ultimate goal will not be achieved.
Integration and collaboration are known aspects of successful business practicesworldwide and encompass all sectors. Such conditions allow partners to realize advantages suchas network infrastructures, shared assessment techniques and real-time information delivery.Integrating climate change and air pollution policy as part of the effort to combat global warmingis particularly suitable to this application because the chemical materials that cause damage tothe atmosphere and all other parts of the natural environment originate from the same sources. Asit stands today, solving a problem in one area often makes conditions in another area worse. Thispaper demonstrates that an integrated policy will result in coherent regulatory standards,

Toward the starting I am going to talk about the idea of obtaining and how it is vital for business .All organizations require contributions to request to have the capacity to work. These may be physical data sources, for example, crude materials, similar to motor parts for an auto maker. They may likewise be administration based, for example, pro building consultancy when trailing new innovation or dissemination administrations for a high road retailer. It is key that information sources meet the required and unwavering quality models, as well as those they are aggressively evaluated.
The impact of information technology has been tremendous within the public sector. Over the years, the growth and development of technology has caused the public sector to change. One of the most significant changes in technology has been the evolution of the information systems and how their development has reshaped the way the world uses technology. “It has been just over fifty years since the worlds first programmable computer became operational. It cost millions of dollars to build and processed an unprecedented 5,000 instructions per second. By 1971, Intel was able to pack 25 times that power into a single, two hundred-dollar chip. Today’s personal computers process
