leadership during covid

I appreciate everyone’s flexibility this past week as we adapted our traditional work practices to this new normal. The situation remains very dynamic with changes almost daily. I appreciate this causes frustration, as you’ve heard me say I enjoy routine and stability. However, we must remain agile and adapt with our environment. A healthy workforce is vital to our Safe and Effective Mission Execution. We can do both but it will require our continual adaption to changing circumstances.

 

We will continue to provide information as it becomes available. The new A school policy was pushed out and we have no new policy for PCS, TDY, leave, or travel. If you have questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to engage your chain of command. In this time of uncertainty we must work harder to share information. Over the next week, the Chief’s Mess will be meeting with everyone individually to ask questions about how the virus has disrupted your lives in order to provide a Personnel Readiness Assessment for leadership. Please share with them how the new normal has impacted you and your families so we can further adapt our policy and practices to minimize the impacts. We are in this together.

 

Lastly, I hope everyone is able to take some time this weekend to enjoy the nice weather with their families. While social distancing won’t allow us to gather with our friends, we can still enjoy the gifts in our daily lives. If you feel alone, or find yourself wondering about a coworker, please reach out to each other. Now is the time for active friendship and leadership.

 

Thank you for your hard work and dedication in these uncertain times.

With admiration,

Sector Commander
