Roll Calls are Back!


Steve Holt!

Right? That's what we're going for here?

All kidding aside, this is exactly what we've been going for on here.

The Air Force (read; Gen Welsh) is essentially trying to end "leadership by e-mail" by forcing their supervisors to (GASP) actually TALK to their people face to face. Hope it helps.

This is exactly what our young airmen need....more micro-managing from 1Lt McDouche reminding them to do their TFAT/CBT and to make sure everyone understands what color socks to wear to PT and then asking them how they feel about it. Emailing tedious BS is better than face to face and wastes far less time, less painful etc.

Maybe the Lt needs some mentoring on what's important then.

The best part about supervisors personally delivering tedious BS is the instantaneous collective verbal and non-verbal feedback that they don't get via email. Lt McDouche is more likely to carefully consider his brilliant new policy if he is implement it standing in front of his unit rather than hiding behind his computer.

That's part of leadership... Roll calls don't have to be a queep distro session. It's an (additional) opportunity for a leader to interact face-to-face with his people...if he's smart, the communication goes both directions. Once a week and/or once a month doesn't fucking cut it though. Friiquency depends on the character of the organiziation, but can be a (brief) daily affair in some organizations.

Bottom line at the bottom (BLAB), it's one tool that can be used...but not in the way protrayed in that stupid fucking video.

Have you seen the mouth breathers out there roaming around Big Blue? lol. Seems like there are more walkers than there are sharp people who 'get it', and that ratio gets a lot worse outside of the flying world.

Enlighten me. What is a "walker"? Is this short for daywalker? I'm always looking to expand my inventory of insults.
