Leadership Principles

1. Leaders Eat Last
   Inspired by the Marine Corps ethos, true leaders prioritize the needs of their team before their own. By literally and figuratively “eating last,” leaders demonstrate humility and service, fostering a culture of trust and commitment.

2. Speak Last
   Listening intently and encouraging diverse viewpoints helps leaders make better decisions. Speaking last isn’t about withholding opinions; it’s about giving others the space to share, then uniting the team around a thoughtful, informed solution.

3. Follow the Marine Corps Framework
   The Marine Corps’ JJDIDTIEBUCKLE (Justice, Judgment, Dependability, Initiative, Decisiveness, Tact, Integrity, Enthusiasm, Bearing, Unselfishness, Courage, Knowledge, Loyalty, Endurance) offers timeless principles of leadership. When put into practice, these traits shape leaders who act with honor and excel under pressure.

4. Embrace Servant Leadership
   Servant leaders center on the growth and well-being of their people. They meet challenges alongside their team, set an unwavering standard, and take ownership of outcomes—good or bad.

5. Hold the Standard
   A leader’s conduct sets the bar for the entire organization. By consistently acting with integrity and upholding the highest expectations—especially when no one is watching—leaders inspire everyone to do the same.

6. Possess a Clear Vision
   Effective leadership begins with a clear, compelling vision. By articulating a meaningful end goal, leaders guide their teams in achieving tangible results and sustaining morale over the long haul.

7. Earn Trust
   Trust is built through consistency, empathy, and fairness. Leaders who prove themselves trustworthy by matching words with actions forge strong, resilient bonds within their organizations.

8. Communicate with Purpose
   Great leaders are great communicators. They speak the truth, share insights, and welcome feedback, ensuring everyone feels heard and remains aligned toward common objectives.

9. Foster a Winning Spirit
   A positive, results-oriented mindset is key to overcoming obstacles. Leaders who focus on growth and achievement spark enthusiasm, motivating their teams to rise to every challenge.

By integrating these principles—eating last, speaking last, serving first, and adhering to the Marine Corps’ time-tested traits—leaders create high-functioning, empowered teams united by vision, trust, communication, and the unyielding will to win.
