Brigadier General Steeve Belley (LCol at the time of the interview) sits down in the Jump Seat to discuss leadership, his experiences as 2 Wing Commander, agile combat employment, and more!
I'm thinking first about, uh, one of the enter staging team that we did over in UAE, so U- United Arab Emirate in 2008.
So that was one of my first deployment, and what we saw over there, so we were receiving vehicle from Afghanistan, and we needed to wash them up, up to the CBSA standard.
They're going under the vehicle with their white glove, and everything need to be, like, spick and span.
And following my run, like there were sweat of my running shoe kind of following me.
And after that we were going, and I was asking my member to go in the sun and wash vehicle for about eight hours.
And what that did teach me at that time was about you need to be aware about the wellbeing of your member and what you're asking them to do.
And so that kind of flip with me, and that shape my thought process as I move through the rank to make sure I'm looking after all the member of my groups every time I'm moving through.
And so it's the type of thing that stuck with me to ensure, like, cohesion within the team.
I'm, I'm not necessarily sharing it, except if I'm asked for or if I see, like, a link to it, but it's something that for sure shaped me as a leader and kind of developed me I- in my thought process to look after each other and bringing back the human at the center of the uniform.
It's to make sure, like, I'm setting up condition for them to be able to perform to the full potential that they have, and how do I create those condition.
So, uh, my father and his four brother were all, uh, military members, so I learned quickly on in my life to always provide my 100%, always being present, and so it's something that kind of shaped me.
After that, one of my first posting was at 4 CFMCU, so Canadian Force Movement Control Unit, and from there I learned the important of readiness.
