An ethos in the Marine Corps is that Marines must have a bias for action. What does that mean? That you’ll take initiative, move with purposeful intention, and make quick decisions without being paralyzed by risk or analysis. It’s an essential warfighting skill. Lawyers often lack a bias for action. They’re slow to move and react. They get bogged down. They fail to communicate with their clients. Hire a lawyer that leads from the front—that has a bias for action. #litigation #businesslaw #personalinjurylaw #legal #legaladvice #marines #marinecorps

This week we were joined by Lady Dannatt, His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant, and Nick Francis, Chair of the Board of Norfolk & Waveney Mind, to officially open The Link in Dereham. The Link is a groundbreaking initiative that will transform the way we deliver essential services to our communities in and around Dereham. This one stop shop of support services will provide holistic advice which helps people not just with the support they are initially seeking, but will put them in touch with a broader range of services that tackles the root of their challenges and helps them avoid crisis. It is another great example of Breckland working through strong partnerships to think and do things differently, for the good of local people. The Link is by referral only.

This is a good one. It's not every day that a senior, active-duty member of the forces takes a plea for open and obvious fraud (some may know it as 'stolen valor'). 8 counts of wearing awards he didn't earn. For those that may not know, in the military one quite literally wears their CV on their chest. The stack of colorful ribbons and medals tells a story. Where they've been, what roles they've held, how long they've served, and especially, clues as to what heroic acts they may have committed. The ribbon stack is not electively assembled, every piece of that "fruit salad" is supported by paperwork, perhaps a citation, but always an administrative process conducted by one's chain of command. There's not a single award that one self-prescribes. This Marine SgtMaj (E-9) elected to lie about many things, to many people for almost 5 years. The brazenness and audacity is atrocious. Another lesser-known facet of military life is that they conduct their own in-house judiciary processes. Often the senior enlisted member of the command is intimately involved in these proceedings, if not conducting them him/herself for lesser offenses. Imagine how many times in 5 years this man, while engaged in punitive soliloquy, allowed words like integrity and accountability to pass his lips. Outrageous. Imagine the impact to his juniors, peers and seniors upon learning of this offense. Personally, reduction in rank to Sgt (E-5) is hardly appropriate - this fool should be removed from service entirely and stripped of all benefits, to include disability and retirement. I imagine that there may be several other ribbon stacks that get a little lighter as news of this permeates the ranks. Military and civilian alike - keep your eyes open out there - it can be tough to see through the bullsh*t 😉

This is James Stockdale, an American naval officer who was captured and imprisoned by Vietnamese forces in 1965. His story offers invaluable insights into the scenario mindset. For 7 ½ years, Stockdale managed to survive the infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison. Upon his release, Stockdale’s story of surviving such adversity, and supplying support and motivation to his fellow prisoners, became legendary as the Stockdale Paradox. He was in a situation without any certainty as to his future, other than the fact that it was likely to be a highly negative outcome. When asked how he managed to get through the experience, he attributed it to 2 things: 1. The discipline to confront the most brutal facts of the current reality. 2. Never losing faith that you prevail in the end and persistently working towards this outcome. Stockdale used 2 vital elements of the scenario mindset in his survival - simultaneously, embracing uncertainty and the worst case scenario, while maintaining a positive and proactive attitude. The danger with bleak future outlooks is that actors become paralyzed and apathetic, unable to motivate themselves towards action. On the flip side of this, false optimism or an inability to grapple with the realities of a situation can lead to inaction that will make the negative outcome worse. Stockdale’s survival came from his dual ability to have unwavering hope while staying vigilant and clear eyes to the reality of his situation. An important lesson for anyone looking to engage with a scenario mindset and take action in the face of radical uncertainty. #decisionmaking #motivation #scenarioplanning
