Creating Cohesive Teams Requires ‘Dignity and Respect’
Wednesday, September 02, 2020
Treating everyone in the Army with “dignity and respect†is the way to build cohesive, ready teams, where people feel “part of a squad rather than in a squad,†the U.S. Military Academy superintendent said Sept. 2 during an Association of the U.S. Army-sponsored discussion about race in the Army.
“We win through people, the Army’s greatest strength, specifically through cohesive teams,†said Lt. Gen. Darryl Williams, West Point’s 60th superintendent. “Racism has no place at the United States Military Academy,†he said, stressing that culture and character growth are key parts of the academy’s education.
Williams spoke as part of The AUSA Noon Report, a free webinar that included Maj. Gen. John Evans, Army Cadet Command commanding general, and Sgt. Maj. Julie Guerra, a 26-year Army veteran who spoke about her perception and perspective on gender and race in the military. Guerra is assigned to the Army G-2. This was the fourth AUSA webinar in a series looking at race and inclusion topics.
