Introductory Material

In the Fall of 2022, Senior Leaders embarked on a significant initiative as they were introduced to the foundational principles, behaviors, and tools of the GRGB framework. This marked the beginning of a journey to cultivate a deeper understanding of these concepts and their application within their respective commands.

As part of this introduction, leaders were presented with a comprehensive overview of the GRGB principles, which aimed to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively grow and implement these concepts within their organizations. The introductory materials provide a solid foundation for this journey, outlining the key behaviors and tools that would enable leaders to successfully integrate GRGB into their daily operations and decision-making processes.

By challenging Senior Leaders to grow these concepts within their commands, the organization aimed to foster a culture of continuous improvement, collaboration, and innovation, ultimately driving greater success and impact. The introductory materials serve as a valuable resource, providing a starting point for leaders to explore the GRGB framework in more depth and begin their journey towards implementation and growth.

To access the introductory documents and learn more about the GRGB principles, behaviors, and tools, please refer to the materials available here.

Monthly Sustainment (or "Booster") Topics

To support the ongoing growth and development of Senior Leaders in the GRGB framework, the GRGB office releases new educational topics and materials on a monthly basis. These "booster" topics are designed to provide regular exposure to key GRGB principles, stimulate thoughtful discussion and reflection on problem-solving approaches and leadership behaviors, and encourage the practical application of these skills and tools in everyday practice.

By exploring these topics, leaders can deepen their understanding of the GRGB framework, challenge their assumptions, and develop new insights and perspectives. The monthly sustainment topics are an essential component of the GRGB journey, helping to reinforce new habits and ways of thinking, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

You can access this month's educational topics, as well as a library of past topics providing a valuable resource for leaders to explore and learn from at their own pace, here.
