Colonel Daniel McKnight is a leader, whether it was leading a convoy in Mogadishu, Somalia or dropping into Panama City on a mission to pick up General Manuel Noriega. Colonel McKnight’s message to the Business Club in Las Vegas on September 14th, 2007 is that people are not managed- things are managed- people are led. There are good and bad leaders. The good leaders have values of loyalty, duty, responsibility, selfless sacrifice, honor, integrity, personal courage, commitment, accountability and decision making ability.
Colonel McKnight had trained his people for the mission in Mogadishu, Somalia. The United States was asked to intervene. The country was in the midst of a famine. The warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid was taking the food meant for the starving refugees. Already 24 Pakistanies that had belonged to the United Nations Force had been massacred. Although they knew what they were getting into, he said that that one day in Mogadishu was the toughest day of his life which was covered by the book and later, the movie, "Black Hawk Down." He said we fought for our country, but more importantly, we fought for the people around us. Good leaders build teams.
In attendance from the CEO-CFO Group, were John Laub, Leo Schafer, Mike Marcellette, Jim Lamb, Steve Zak, Dulcinea Almazan, Dave LeGrand, Bill Goff, Phil Cohen, Sandee Tiffany, Margaret Hilton, John Shea, Jeff Jarvis, Ken Walther, Verner Dixon, Bill Granda, Les Harris, Ed Gibbon, Loren King, Tom Thorn, Roland Kirk, Chris Steely, David Chavez, Allen Kaercher, Marsha Hamilton, Ron Egge, Leo Bletnisky, Kathy Haglund, Vincent Mills and many, many others.
