There are just a few more weeks left of video blogs from my visit to the USS Harry S Truman earlier this year.  This week’s installment was shot during a breakfast that the Command Master Chief arranged for our group to have with some of the enlisted sailors on board.  We were able to have some long conversations with some terrific folks during the meal.  This video provides the perspective of three of them on what makes a leader.  The second sailor you’ll hear from (and the one in the screen shot below) was the Truman’s Sailor of the Year in 2009.

The setting that morning was a little noisy because there were lots of good discussions going on in the background.  Still, if you tune in on the speakers, you’ll be able to hear what they have to say.  It will be two minutes well spent.
