[August 31, 2023] When I began this leadership blog almost ten years ago, I had a few friends write an occasional column. Sadako Red, a pen name, became more popular because of his wit and penchant for getting into sticky situations and his nimble ability to extract himself from the most uncomfortable and dangerous situations. And no one… Read More »
[August 30, 2023] Below is a darn good book worth reading. The core message is that any leader or person who wants a good life should focus on teamwork as their core principle. Whether it is at work, home, church, volunteer organization, or a simple gathering of friends, teamwork makes everyone’s lives better. This book review is one… Read More »
[August 29, 2023] Much has been written (and will be written) about America’s youngest adult generation. Subjects discussing our youth are many, for good and for bad, but something is going overlooked. We are beginning to notice that they reject mentorship from leaders.1 Mentorship is, of course, the most effective and efficient way to improve life and leadership… Read More »
[August 28, 2023] The movie scared me more than 60 years ago, and I still get shivers from that memory of watching the original 1933 adventure horror animal film King Kong. I was 9 years old, my brother two years younger, and we had somehow convinced our Mom to take us to this classic and frightening show, most… Read More »
[August 27, 2023] Don’t we all love the “world ends tomorrow” crowd? I do! And I love them because they are dedicated and 100% sure of themselves. More comically known as Climatistas (after Marxist Sandinistas), these net-zero carbon emission folks are never honest about reaching their climate goals. Mostly. Turns out that one did let his mask slip… Read More »
[August 26, 2023] I see it every day. Readers of my blog, family, and friends send me examples of social media speech censorship. With that said, I missed one that John Hinderaker found interesting. It made me laugh too. The lesson? Speech censorship is alive and well in America. Last month, I honored Ms. Riley Gaines with a… Read More »
[August 25, 2023] The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke and spilled beer. My uncle DJ (Douglas James, and my namesake) Satterfield, much older than my dad served as a cook in the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. Later in life, he was a long-serving member of the Pine Bluff, Arkansas VFW, where he spent many… Read More »
[August 24, 2023] In March of 2014, just as Russia invaded Crimea in southeast Ukraine, I wrote that the common prediction was Russia would not invade. Therefore, I believed the U.S. would fail to develop a Western-America-centric strategy to stop Russia. I’m not here to say I was right, but to emphasize that it was unacceptable then and… Read More »
[August 23, 2023] I am convinced that when people a hundred years from now look back upon our time, they will be shocked and disgusted by those who supported the abortion of human babies. The civil rights of the unborn are the new struggle for the 21st century, and there is little doubt how this will end. Those… Read More »
[August 22, 2023] Several years ago, I wrote an article that got a lot of attention in U.S. military circles. I told the story of three U.S. Air Force sergeants arrested in South Korea for beating a Korean citizen. And, there were witnesses. I want your opinion on whether the sergeants were right or wrong. It matters because… Read More »
