A few days ago I decided I would take a stand against my natural reaction to things. I am generally timid and hate speaking in front of people and don't typically like to take the lead...which as some may or may not know, is not good for an officer. To break this pattern I made a commitment to be excited when new opportunities come up and try my best to be excited about talking in front of people. I will now take the opportunities and own them as mine to make the best out of. these are my products and it's what people perceive of me. I will be the best Brian Frausto that I can. Just a couple days ago I had the chance to take our BN Co (a really important guy) around our base and talk to him about the operation that I'll run soon. This terrified me at first, but after thinking about the mission and everything I'll be doing I knew that I could handle this. The walk around went very well and I got a couple emails saying to keep up the good work and that I did a good job.
I honestly feel it will be rough at first for our guys, just with not having much time to adjust, but soon enough we will rock this. The challenge will be to get our guys working together and them understanding their jobs will overlap so in turn they'll have to actually do some things that aren't exactly their job. I know they're going to have a rough time doing this because who actually likes doing things when they feel it's someone else's job? The fact is though, if these guys don't work together to accomplish each mission, we're going to have a very long 9 months. My Personal challenge will be to convey this to our guys and taking them to the next level. I say next level because that's exactly what this task calls them to be. Instead of turning the wrench they need to oversee the wrench turning, instead of fueling the truck, they need to oversee all the fuel distributing. Our guys leaders in our team have to become managers and oversee their individual teams. They've got this and We've got this. Now to go make it happen!
