148: Four-Star General of the U.S. Army George W. Casey Jr. | You’re No Better Than Anyone and No One’s Better Than You
Manage episode 429032327 series 2876832
General George W. Casey Jr. is a four-star general who served as the 36th Chief of Staff of the United States Army. Nominated by President George W. Bush, General Casey led what is possibly the world’s largest, and most complex organization--more than one million service members with a $200 billion annual budget. As Chief Executive Officer of the Army, General Casey was a strong advocate for military families, wounded soldiers, and survivors of the fallen, and he also took on the tough issues of suicide and the stigma attached to combat stress.
General Casey served 41-years as an American soldier, following graduation from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
In this episode we discuss the following:
- General Casey’s grandpa taught him: You’re no better than anyone. And no one’s better than you. So, treat everyone with respect. But don’t take any guff from anybody.
- General Casey’s father taught him: Never be afraid to try to be the very best.
- Vince Lombardi taught General Casey: Insist on disciplined execution of the highest standards.
- The higher General Casey rose in the hierarchy, the more he realized he needed to influence the people outside his organization rather than just look down inside his own organization.
- The more experienced General Casey got, the more comfortable he got saying, “I don’t know.”
- “Be a man or woman of your word. If you tell someone you're going to do something, you either do it or you tell them why you're not going to do it.”
- There are only two kinds of plans: those that might work and those that won’t work.
- Family is everything.
