An interview with Active duty Marine Corps Master Sergeant Jason Barton
Jason and I discuss Leadership influences that have impacted his career. He has been an active duty Marine for 20 years and has encountered leaders of all kinds. He shares a couple of stories of great examples he's learned from, as well as some traits that the not so good leaders exhibited. Jason discusses the importance of training in developing as a leader. Understanding your weaknesses and seeking information and tips to improve. The key takeaway is that your teammates are the strength. Take care of them, support them. If necessary, hold them accountable. But do it from a place of caring, to help them get better.
