Senior Leaders Leave Their Ranks at the Door

Staff Sgt. Destiny Robertson, operations chief, Marine Transport Squadron, 4th Marine Aircraft Wing, presents the attributes of her character during an exercise where a life or death decision must be made based on the face-value of a person 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.
