LTC Frederick joins us this week to offer his experiences serving in units where women were integrated at all echelons. He shares his experience deploying with a recently integrated unit prior to the combat policy being repealed, and illustrates how a positive command climate breeds excellence among our formations. As a Professor of Military Science at University of North Carolina Charlotte, he is inspiring the next generation of young leaders, and his example of creating an inclusive environment is one we can all emulate. He highlights the importance of surrounding yourself with quality leaders and building a diverse team.
