	Absent evidence of innocence or injustice the wholesale pardon of US servicemembers accused of war crimes signals our troops and allies that we don’t take the Law of Armed Conflict seriously. Bad message. Bad precedent. Abdication of moral responsibility. Risk to us. #Leadership

	Graduation Season is in full swing. “What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the human soul” (Joseph Addison). We all lead, and so we all must keep learning. So that our soul will have voice with our intellect and emotions in our decisions. #Leadership

	An echo from almost 50 years ago. Ball of Confusion by the Temptations released in May 1970 included the lyrics “that’s what the world is today...and the band played on.” At the time, a reminder that is the responsibility of leaders to help make sense of it all. #Leadership

	“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month” (Theodore Roosevelt). Good leaders look to themselves first to determine what happened when things don’t go as planned. #Leadership

	This day in 1878, the Ipswich Witchcraft Trial began in Salem, Mass. It would be the last witchcraft trial in US, but an example of fear mongering just 140 years ago among people who should have known better. Good leaders steady not stoke our fears so reason reigns. #Leadership

	”Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy” (Norman Schwarzkopf). Character is where it all starts. #Leadership

	“All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother”(Abraham Lincoln). No better role models than mothers. They show us what it means to lead by serving, with genuine humility, and the power of love. #HappyMothersDay #Leadership

	“Ethics, equity, and the principles of justice don’t change with the calendar” (D.H. Lawrence). From time to time it’s important that we ask ourselves what we hold most dear. There have been other important times in the past, but these are our times. #Leadership

	“It is easier to exemplify values than teach them”(Theodore Hesburgh). And much more effective. Leaders create an atmosphere by modeling behavior. They include or exclude, encourage or discourage, collaborate or confront. In the end, they reap what they sow. #Leadership

	Worth remembering that through the ages, there is one defining and unchanging characteristic of conflict: “the two most powerful warriors are patience and time” (Tolstoy). #Leadership

	Facts, information, and analysis are less likely to be the key factors in changing our mind these days. There is way too much of them. What is likely to change our mind is trust. Hard earned, values-based, and frequently confirmed. #Leadership

	We should change our mind when facts dictate. We should compromise when we can improve a situation even if not to the full extent we desire. But in change and compromise we must never turn our back on basic values, especially integrity, honor, fairness, compassion. #Leadership

	Kentucky Derby Day 2019. Legendary jockey Bill Shoemaker: “The horse only knows I’m there when it needs me.” Sound leadership advice. Build an inclusive team. Set goals for them. Provide them resources. Let them run. Be there if they need you. #Leadership

	“Change based on principle is progress. Change without principle is chaos” (Ike). Same with international relations. Building relationships with nations based on principles is progress. Building relationships with nations without concern for principles is chaos. #Leadership

	“Moral excellence is the result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts” (Aristotle). Leaders are known as honest, fair, and caring based on the habits they exhibit not in a single moment but over time. #Leadership

	“Prevarication, like honesty, is reflexive, and soon becomes a sturdy habit, as reliable as truth” (Norman Mailer). Good leadership is all about developing the right habits. Habits of honesty, courage, compassion, and ethical behavior. The habit of leading by example. #Leadership

	“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable” (Dwight Eisenhower). We rarely follow a plan exactly as first conceived. But from the planning process we develop relationships, gain knowledge, build trust and adapt. #Leadership

	Today elsewhere in the world. Part of the imperial Regalia of Japan, passed on to each Emperor as they ascend to the throne, is a mirror (Yata no Kigami). Symbolic of the responsibility of leaders to reflect wisdom and honesty. #Leadership

	“Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do” (Potter Stewart). An important distinction for all but especially for leaders. By their example, good leaders reinforce standards and model appropriate behavior. #Leadership
