00:00.720 --> 00:04.580
- This can't just be about
a Facebook post or a video.

00:04.580 --> 00:08.999
Like, we've got to do something
that makes a difference.

00:08.999 --> 00:11.916
(soft piano music)

00:16.690 --> 00:18.110
I think it's important, right,

00:18.110 --> 00:22.390
that we put it in the right context.

00:22.390 --> 00:25.990
We're not asking folks to go get training,

00:25.990 --> 00:30.990
we're not asking folks
to be better supervisors

00:31.110 --> 00:31.980
or anything like that.

00:31.980 --> 00:36.600
What we're asking for is feedback

00:36.600 --> 00:41.600
because what we're doing isn't working.

00:43.210 --> 00:47.540
And we've got to get opinions,
we've got to get thoughts,

00:47.540 --> 00:51.000
we've got to find out from our airmen

00:51.000 --> 00:54.280
what we can do as a
headquarters in this command

00:54.280 --> 00:57.940
and as an air force to help.

00:57.940 --> 01:02.940
I think it's really easy to throw around,

01:02.960 --> 01:06.660
it's a leadership issue, of
course it's a leadership issue,

01:06.660 --> 01:08.080
but we can't pretend

01:08.080 --> 01:13.080
as a headquarters that we
don't own responsibilities,

01:14.970 --> 01:17.680
that we don't architect
choices that make things

01:17.680 --> 01:21.560
easier or harder on leaders.

01:21.560 --> 01:26.180
And so, we've got to think through that.

01:26.180 --> 01:28.170
We have to think through resourcing.

01:28.170 --> 01:32.680
We've got to think through programs.

01:32.680 --> 01:35.560
We've got to think through
all the options that we have.

01:35.560 --> 01:40.560
How do we incentivize
better actions from leaders.

01:43.410 --> 01:46.446
How do we take things
off of peoples plates?

01:46.446 --> 01:51.446
How do we allow for the kind
of connectiveness required

01:57.270 --> 02:01.053
to really be there for our
Airmen when they need us.

02:02.150 --> 02:05.067
(soft piano music)

02:07.150 --> 02:11.760
I got it, I know we've thrown
CBT's, we've thrown lectures,

02:11.760 --> 02:13.313
we thrown slideshows,

02:14.200 --> 02:17.680
we've thrown all kinds
of spaghetti at the wall

02:19.953 --> 02:23.657
and seems like none of it's
sticking, just more of the same

02:25.705 --> 02:27.833
and I get that, and I know that it's hard.

02:29.200 --> 02:33.810
Please appreciate that we recognize that.

02:33.810 --> 02:37.610
We're struggling, we're
trying to figure it out.

02:37.610 --> 02:40.780
But I do think that
faith in this institution

02:42.630 --> 02:47.340
is probably the most significant
ally we have in this fight

02:48.820 --> 02:51.070
and as many people that've heard me say,

02:51.070 --> 02:56.070
this team requires a pretty
significant commitment

02:57.690 --> 03:02.180
and really the question
is what does this team owe

03:03.170 --> 03:05.430
those people that are
making that commitment.

03:05.430 --> 03:09.110
And what can we do, that's the quest.

03:09.110 --> 03:12.540
And if you can't trust us
and you can't believe in us

03:12.540 --> 03:15.890
man, I'm sorry, give me a call.

03:15.890 --> 03:19.613
But, if you can give us
some stuff to work on,

03:21.300 --> 03:22.570
we're going to get after it,
we're going to do everything

03:22.570 --> 03:24.463
we can to get after it.

03:26.680 --> 03:31.580
There's a way forward,
there's always a way forward.

03:31.580 --> 03:33.983
You just got to raise your
hand, you got to tell us,

03:33.983 --> 03:35.303
you got to let us help.

03:37.463 --> 03:40.710
I don't think there is
anything else to say, right,

03:40.710 --> 03:45.230
like except that I'm here
and I'll help. We'll help.

03:45.230 --> 03:47.630
We'll do what we need to
do to take care of you.

03:48.512 --> 03:50.990
You just have to let
us. You have to tell us.

03:50.990 --> 03:53.903
You have to give us a chance.
