You Can't Fly Without Fuel: Leadership, Logistics, and the Power of Resources

You Can't Fly Without Fuel: Leadership, Logistics, and the Power of Resources

Tracey Jones

As a young lieutenant in the United States Air Force, I served as an aircraft maintenance officer and later became a squadron commander. One of the first hard lessons I learned was this: jets don't fly without parts and fuel. You can have all the speed, firepower, and Top Gun swagger in the world, but Maverick and Goose are grounded without logistics.

The Final Week of Leadership: Holy Week Reflections on Jesus, His Disciples, and the Followers Who Carried the Mission Forward

Tracey Jones

There’s a reason the Bible remains the #1 bestselling book of all time, and Christianity is the largest faith on Earth. Yes, our founder is God incarnate—who literally conquered death through resurrection—but He also developed a core group of everyday people who carried His divine plan forward. They didn’t just witness miracles—they became messengers of them.

 

He Nailed It: Forgiveness Is Tremendous

He Nailed It: Forgiveness Is Tremendous

Tracey Jones

As Easter approaches, we are reminded of the most extraordinary act of leadership and love the world has ever known. Jesus Christ didn't just preach forgiveness—He embodied it. On the cross, He didn't demand payback. He gave His life. He nailed it—our sin, our shame, our pain—to the wood. He did it for you, for me, for all of us.

Leading Beneath the Surface: Bunker Lessons in Crisis Leadership

Leading Beneath the Surface: Bunker Lessons in Crisis Leadership

Tracey Jones

Leadership in crisis isn't about knowing the right thing to say—it's about being the right kind of person long before the crisis comes. It's about building a "bunker" of trust, truth, and training into the hearts of your people—not a shelter of fear but a system of faith.

As I left that underground hallway and stepped back into the sunlight, I didn't just feel grateful. I felt challenged. Am I building in others what the crisis will reveal?

The Ides of Leadership—Betrayal, Sabotage, and the Courage to Stand Alone

The Ides of Leadership—Betrayal, Sabotage, and the Courage to Stand Alone

Tracey Jones

The Ides of March is a historical marker of betrayal, a reminder that even the most powerful leaders are not immune to sabotage. At the peak of his leadership, Julius Caesar was undone by those he trusted most. But you don't have to be an emperor to experience your own Ides of March. If you're leading, at some point, the knives will come out.

DJ Daniel's embrace of Director Curran wasn't just a heartwarming moment—it was a leadership lesson. Like my father's legendary hugs, it showed us that real leadership is about making people feel seen, valued, and part of something greater than themselves.

The Four Most Important Words a Leader Needs to Hear

The Four Most Important Words a Leader Needs to Hear

Tracey Jones

If you want a better leader, be a better follower. Leadership is not about standing alone at the top—it's about those who stand with you. Most leaders are subjected to relentless criticism, second-guessing, stress, political maneuvering, and even betrayals from their own ranks. The greatest gift you can give your leader is to tell them, "You have my support"—and then back it up with action. And if you can't do that, find a leader you can support wholeheartedly.

Love Always – A Tremendous Valentine's Message ❤️📚✨

Love Always – A Tremendous Valentine's Message ❤️📚✨

Tracey Jones

Love is not just a feeling—it is a choice. We make it every single day, not because it is always easy but because it is always worth it. Love is choosing to grow through adversity rather than be broken by it. As Charlie "Tremendous" Jones said, "Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be." True love isn't just about joy—it's about persevering, even when life shakes you to your core.

The Art of Developing Others: The Tremendous Way

Tracey Jones

One of the biggest shifts in leadership happens when you graduate from directing people to developing them. True leaders don’t just give answers—they guide discovery. My father, Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, mastered this by leveraging the wisdom of books. Want to develop others? Park your smarts and let them do the discovering! 📚✨ #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Mentorship

The Real Issue Isn't Division—It's Hypocrisy

The Real Issue Isn't Division—It's Hypocrisy

Tracey Jones

Hypocrisy isn't about doing the right thing; it's about maintaining power. Censorship, mandates, and lawfare aren't about justice; they're about control. And when control is threatened, hypocrisy goes into overdrive.

The Faceless Friends: A Lesson in Humility

Tracey Jones

While there's nothing wrong with caring about how we present ourselves, the ultimate goal should be to reflect values like respect, professionalism, and selflessness—not to demand attention or stand out for the sake of ego. For example, adhering to workplace standards or dressing appropriately for significant events shows an understanding of the larger context and respect for the group.

Tracey Jones

Now, years later, I understand the real meaning behind this little skit. That "tired of being happy" feeling hits me, and I embrace it with gusto. This year has already been off the charts—celebrating my fifth anniversary, signing new clients, onboarding new authors, seizing new opportunities, and enjoying the clarity of thought, good health, and pure joy that comes with doing what I love.
