Major Matthew Tracy<br />
Tuesday, <strong>May</strong> 12, Professional Development Breakfast<br />
“Building a Leadership Paradigm In Order to Create a<br />
High Performance Organization: Borrowing the Latest Leadership<br />
Concepts and Principles from the United States Marine Corps”<br />
In tough economic times, having the right strategy<br />
in business is not enough. Major Matt Tracy, a<br />
Marine combat veteran of Kosovo,<br />
Afghanistan, and Iraq leads a discussion<br />
based on Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and<br />
the Marine Corps Doctrinal Philosophy<br />
“Warfi ghting.” Major Tracy discusses<br />
the synchronization of leadership<br />
and strategy and the scalable model<br />
utilized by the Marine Corps to win<br />
every conflict large or small. An<br />
essential key to business success<br />
is improving the speed, accuracy<br />
and discipline of your company’s<br />
decision-making. By developing quality leaders<br />
and implementing a leadership philosophy you can<br />
improve your organization’s overall performance<br />
without adding additional staff.<br />
The discussion will begin with a description of<br />
the Leadership Ideal and how to develop it within<br />
yourself and your subordinates. This is drawn<br />
from the Marine Corps traits and principles<br />
while reinforced by anecdotes from 11 years of<br />
Marine Corps Fleet Service. The second half<br />
of the discussion utilizes the leadership ideal<br />
to articulate a framework to win in higher level<br />
strategic competitions.<br />
The Leadership Challenge involves motivating<br />
individual and teams and addresses issues such<br />
as:<br />
• How to Develop Leaders<br />
• Creating a Leadership Environment Which<br />
Fosters Insightful Feedback<br />
• Outpacing and Outmaneuvering the Competition<br />
Through a Leadership Philosophy<br />
<strong>May</strong> <strong>2009</strong><br />
• How to Articulate and Communicate Your<br />
Philosophy for Conducting Business<br />
Matt Tracy received the 2003 Marine<br />
Corps Association Leadership Award<br />
for his work Commanding the Reaction<br />
Force of Chemical, Biological, High<br />
Yield Explosive Incident Response<br />
Force (CBIRF). In 2007 Major<br />
Tracy was awarded the Leftwich<br />
Trophy for Commanding Echo<br />
Company 2d Battalion, 3d Marines<br />
in Hadithah Iraq. The Leftwich<br />
Trophy for Outstanding Leadership<br />
is an award presented annually in<br />
memory of Lieutenant Colonel William Groom<br />
Leftwich, U.S. Marine Corps, killed in action<br />
in the Republic of Vietnam in 1970. It is the<br />
Marine Corps equivalent of the MVP in baseball<br />
or the Heisman Trophy in college football.<br />

From<br />
The<br />
President<br />
One of the more interesting aspects of being the Chicago Chapter<br />
President is working with other Chapters and <strong>FEI</strong> National to ensure<br />
that our members needs are being met. As of this writing, I can assure<br />
you that <strong>FEI</strong> is in the process of taking a fresh look at how our members<br />
are being served, and the way they are being served. Our new<br />
National President, Marie Hollein (Chicago’s own), has been reaching<br />
out to the <strong>FEI</strong> community and has instituted major evaluation processes<br />
to take a fresh look at the needs and desires of our members and how<br />
they are being addressed. Stay tuned for further information as the<br />
year unfolds.<br />
However, I am curious as to your ideas about the Chapter. I am mindful<br />
of a quote (source unknown) that says: “If you are not getting better,<br />
you are getting worse.” We need your input to ensure that the Chapter<br />
is meeting your needs. Toward that end, we will be surveying our members<br />
this Spring to get your thoughts on how we can enhance our suite of<br />
services to Chapter members. Specifi cally, we implemented a number of<br />
ideas such as our Power Leadership Breakfast Meetings in several locations<br />
on the same day and New Member Breakfasts with an outside speaker to<br />
supplement our Monthly PD and Dinner Meetings. Did these work for you<br />
and what else should we be doing? That is what we hope to fi nd out in our<br />
Spring survey.<br />
I think that reviewing what you do is a healthy exercise. One organization<br />
that does it repeatedly is the U.S. Military. They perform a hard review of<br />
every completed military exercise with the express purpose of looking at<br />
what worked, what didn’t and how to improve. I think that this is a healthy<br />
process and one that helps us learn and grow. It is for this reason, and the<br />
other aspects of situational leadership, that we set up a breakfast session<br />
on <strong>May</strong> 12th so you can hear Major Matt Tracy, USMC, talk about the<br />
leadership challenges he faced in Iraq and how he addressed them. How he<br />
took care of the people that were assigned to him should be of particular<br />
interest to us as fi nancial leaders. We hope you join us.<br />
On the 12th of June we are fortunate to have Ann Ziegler, CFO of CDW<br />
Corporation speak at a luncheon on the subject of: “Is the Grass Greener--<br />
Private vs. Public Company CFO.”<br />
You are encouraged to invite prospective members to attend either of these<br />
events at no charge by contacting the <strong>FEI</strong> Chapter Offi ce to register.<br />
Lastly, special thanks to our Offi cers and Directors for the hard work<br />
they put in this past year. Without the assistance of such dedicated people<br />
we could not provide the level of service and assistance to our members<br />
that we have grown accustomed to. Although I think “it is better to give<br />
than receive” it sure feels great to receive the gifts of our Offi cers and<br />
Directors.<br />
