Senior Leaders Leave Their Ranks at the Door

Senior leaders are tasked to make life or death decisions based on the face-value of a person during an exercise at the Senior Leadership Workshop aboard Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, Jan. 23-26, 2017. The exercise required the Marines and Sailors to make the decision on who would be saved from a sinking ship and who would be sacrificed based on a small paragraph on information given about a person. The workshop utilizes various exercises and discussions to help leaders address equal opportunity matters while putting their own personal biases and judgments aside. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
