Leadership Ten – Mark Noon pt 1

Mark Noon is a 20+ year, retired Air Force Major where he was a key leader in building cultural and leadership transformation within the Air Force medical community. Following his retirement, Mark brought his operational and service excellence expertise to the Studer Group and now, in Leadership 10. He has coached and spoken before more than 270 organizations in 43 states about Leadership Development. Leadership Ten is an organization helping leaders, typically between the ages of 25-40 and living in the Florida Panhandle area, in business development and leadership. First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Mark Noon?” Tell us about Leadership Ten. How and when did it start and what is the purpose of what you do? You make a distinction between developing THE LEADER and “Leadership Development.” Can you explain that for us? I have, like you, basically studied and participated in military leadership development for many years. I did twelve years in the Army, leaving as a commissioned Cavalry officer way back in 1989…but ended up retiring in 2011 from Law Enforcement. How did your military training prepare you for civilian leadership and your calling to pass on this skill set to the future business leaders that your organization helps today? Tell us about the L10 Communication Model… What are the three types of leadership development training that you offer? Individual; Team; Executive I notice one of the areas is decision making and critical thinking. I love that. I know the great leaders I served under emphasized to gather as much information as possible in the time you have, then process it and make the decision. My hero, in the Cav, was studying General George Patton, Jr. He once said, “A good decision implement now is better than a perfect solution tried later.” What type of training and training scenarios does Leadership Ten use to teach your students “Critical Thinking and Decision Making?” When I’ve spoken on Team Building at various conferences, I’ve emphasized the need to train and develop the talent and resources, the people, you currently have. I use the military system of leadership development of allowing the people who work under to take on small projects and allow them to identify and develop solutions on their own instead of “telling them” what to do. Folks, leadership starts with the individual. It starts before the individual becomes a leader. It starts with the basics. It builds upon experiences. It builds upon the experiences of those that are teaching you. They can share strategies and ideas they have learned over the years. They can also share mistakes they have made. I’ve learned more from mistakes than I have from successes. But it all starts, with you going down into the show notes below and clicking the links right there.
