  • Commentary: Air Force places strong emphasis on values

    Our Air Force core values: Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do, are not just what we do, they’re who we are. We emulate these values because they are the standard for behavior, not only in the Air Force, but in any orderly society. Many young people, however, have not been taught values at an early age by their parents, teachers or clergy. This means that some must be shown the difference between right and wrong behavior. By living the Air Force core values every day, we set the strongest e...

  • Food at the speed of life: Mango mix works

    I know they say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but sometimes it’s not bad to tweak a good thing. Case in point: lemonade, strawberries and mangos. Inspired while browsing through recipes in search of a column idea, I decided to create a strawberry-mango lemonade or raspberry-mango lemonade smoothie. I went with strawberries because I couldn’t find raspberries during my late-night shopping trip. I added ingredients to the blender and taste-tested until I ran out of fruit and thought the smoothie was sufficientl... Full story

  • Why avoiding conflict keeps you trapped in it forever

    Lisa McLeod Most people don't like conflict. It feels risky and time consuming. They're either afraid of it or they don't want to expend the energy to deal with it.

Good ideas remain unspoken, people create silos, and leaders don't get the information they need. The post mortem on any business failure almost always reveals critical information...
