Balance In A Military Career: Lessons Learned On Leadership And Life

Author:
John D. Sims  


Issue Date:
2010


Abstract(summary):

Some will argue these lessons are not new. That's probably true. But we have to check our priorities constantly to ensure they are balanced between career and family. Some may also pick up on the fact that I wrote more about com- mand or leadership, and less about family. They may consider this as evidence of poor balance. But I believe all of these lessons apply to career or family. Throughout this article, replace the word soldier with spouse, child, friend, or stranger and you will see the lessons still ring true. At some point we realize that we are all connected. At the end of the day this isn't about career, it's about life. Life isn't a race or competi- tion. It is more a dance or a song where we all affect each other. It's often a question of priorities. Being a soldier is a profession, but being a father or mother, husband or wife, is life. We have to invest in career and family simultaneously, as neither will wait for the other to be completed. Balance cannot be just a buzzword. It must be bred into our culture through our actions. My hope is that some of these lessons may help you sustain your military service and your family through a balanced life.
