by

Congratulations, we have selected you to command! For many of us, this is one of the most rewarding phrases in our careers. A milestone that we have been preparing for. In fact a milestone that our entire profession does a remarkable job preparing us for. The tools and resources to become a great commander are endless. Where I believe that we often fall short, is preparing leaders for what life is like mentally after you transition out of command. The impact of going from 100 miles per hour to 0 has on our mental health as leaders is something we often don’t talk about. However, it is something all commanders experience to some degree. Making mental health post command a priority will aid in providing a seamless transition towards your next role.
