Leveling Up You Leadership with Kevin Basik

Kevin Basik is passionate about leadership and character development.

In this conversation we got to do a deep dive into topics like values how an organization builds culture.  And so much more.

I even shared my family’s personal mantras as an example of how we do this in the family setting.

Kevin knows his stuff!

He’s the Director of the National Medal of Honor Institute, committed to inspiring Americans at all levels to recognize the hero within them, and to live and lead with character.  

He is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, and served 24 years in the Air Force helping develop leaders of character everywhere from entry level programs to with senior leaders in the Pentagon.  

He received his PhD in Organizational Behavior and is a thought-leader and in-demand speaker in the area of Behavioral Integrity as a driver of trust, accountability and performance. 

His passion is inviting others to join him on the journey of "crossing the gap" -- moment-by-moment -- to live and lead in alignment with our values.

Dan's Family Mantras:

We team Cumberland believe in each other.

We know that God is with us and for us, 

and we are with each other and for each other.

When one of us wins, we all win.

We are kind, brave, & honest.

We know that everything is figure-out-able, and that small actions add up to big things.

When we fail, we try again.

When hard things happen, we choose how we respond.

We don’t take ourselves too seriously.  

We laugh and have fun.

We walk together.

And we give mom and dad all the peanut butter candy.

We love life.  

We love others.  

And we love our team.

Watch out world, here we come.
