WEBVTT 00:17.229 --> 00:19.062 From my perspective , it's about 00:19.062 --> 00:21.118 challenging the narrative of this is 00:21.118 --> 00:23.118 how we always did it and leveraging 00:23.118 --> 00:25.340 technology that we use every day in our 00:25.340 --> 00:27.562 personal lives to become more effective 00:27.562 --> 00:29.785 and efficient in the space force . When 00:29.785 --> 00:32.009 leaders tell you to be innovative and 00:32.020 --> 00:34.150 be creative and then they are willing 00:34.159 --> 00:36.810 to invest their time and funding , it 00:36.819 --> 00:39.459 begins to spread ideas are some of the 00:39.470 --> 00:41.581 most valuable things that we create . 00:41.840 --> 00:44.062 And it's a key part of leadership . The 00:44.062 --> 00:45.951 opportunity to present innovative 00:45.951 --> 00:48.740 concepts stimulates a just a great 00:48.750 --> 00:50.528 conversation that I haven't had 00:50.528 --> 00:53.009 anywhere else as a guardian . I think 00:53.020 --> 00:55.299 it's fairly easy to complain about the 00:55.310 --> 00:57.532 status quo or how we've done things but 00:57.532 --> 00:59.754 having opportunities like fight tonight 00:59.754 --> 01:01.588 or just the acquisition realm in 01:01.588 --> 01:03.810 general , how can we do things better ? 01:03.810 --> 01:06.032 Really promotes a culture of innovation 01:06.032 --> 01:08.254 and trying to push the limits and doing 01:08.254 --> 01:10.254 things faster and better ? Which is 01:10.254 --> 01:09.750 what the space force is all about . 01:10.110 --> 01:12.332 Continue to ask why no matter what your 01:12.332 --> 01:14.221 rank is , no matter your age , no 01:14.221 --> 01:16.277 matter your job title . I do believe 01:16.277 --> 01:18.499 that one person or one idea can make an 01:18.499 --> 01:20.919 impact no matter how small or trivial . 01:20.930 --> 01:23.150 You may think you are , your voice and 01:23.160 --> 01:25.271 perspective needs to be heard because 01:25.271 --> 01:25.550 it can be the difference .
