ARMY RESILIENCE


on a chart, we are going to meet that commitment.


Te second factor, being a great teammate, recognizes the importance of openness, honesty and transparency in dealing with others. We must do all we can individually to help our partners, teams, organizations and the Army succeed. Of course, there are times when we may disagree on a partic- ular course of action, so speak up, don’t give up or give in. Winston Churchill once said, “No idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered.” Healthy discourse often leads to better outcomes, so express your opinions and share your thoughts. We have a lot of work to do, and no one has a monopoly on good ideas.


It is also important to know and respect boundaries of authority. Each person in an organization fills a critical role. In order to optimize operational effectiveness, it is imperative to know and use all of your decision space while maintaining aware- ness and respecting that of others.


As you go about your daily work, always remember that YOU are a valued member of the Army Acquisition Corps, the larger acquisition workforce and the Army team. I believe firmly that when we treat each other with dignity and respect—when we take care of each and every person in our more than 43,000-member workforce— we will accomplish great things for our Army and the Soldiers we serve.


HEADS-UP THANK YOU, DR. JETTE


Let me take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Bruce D. Jette on his leadership and many achievements as ASA(ALT) and Army acquisition executive from January 2018 to January 2021. He served with distinction and worked tirelessly to create a more effective acquisition system that meets current, emerging and long-term operational needs in a timely manner.


Dr. Jette was often referred to as a Soldier, a scholar, a scientist and a


dedicated public servant. Each by itself is a fitting tribute. For many of us, he was also a visionary in that he had a clear perspective on what the future Army could be like. We are fortunate that during his time with us, he was instrumental in setting us on the right path.


On behalf of the entire Army acqui- sition community, I extend all good wishes to Dr. Jette, his wife, Cathy, and their wonderful family for many years of health and happiness. May our paths cross often.
