LIVE: Medal of Honor Leadership - What Makes Medal of Honor Recipients AMAZING Leaders!

Описание: "Medal of Honor Leadership - Medal of Honor Recipients in Conversation: Lessons in Extraordinary Leadership" took place at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition on October 15, 2025. During the panel, recipients of the highest U.S. military award shared their experiences and insights on values-based leadership.

Key leadership lessons
The National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership and its associated events, including the AUSA panel, highlight core values exemplified by recipients. Key leadership lessons include:

Moral courage: This is the willingness to do the right thing, even when it is difficult or unpopular. Recipients emphasize that character is a daily habit and that doing the right thing is not always easy but pays off in the long run.

Leading by example: Strong leaders are visible and accessible to their teams, building trust, confidence, and cohesion through shared experience. They model integrity and professionalism in their actions and decisions.

Listening to others: Great leaders get into "receive mode," creating a climate where junior members and subordinates feel confident sharing their ideas. This practice fosters an environment for the free flow of information.

Delegating authority: Micromanagement is an ineffective strategy. Trusting and empowering team members to make decisions builds confidence and fosters a new generation of leaders.

Taking a stand: Leaders must have the conviction to speak up when something is wrong or a plan won't work, even if it contradicts a superior's order. Medal of Honor recipients have acted on values rather than seeking the spotlight.

Making the most of every experience: One recipient, Florent Groberg, noted that challenging experiences can provide opportunities for growth as an individual. The goal is to be a good person, and it starts with owning your mistakes.
