S5:E21🎙️ LIVE with MAJ Chris Slininger, U.S. Army 🇺🇸🪖Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZ — Season 5, Episode 21 🎙️
“My life’s purpose is to help others realize and actualize their potential through the power of mentorship and leadership.”
“Mentorship isn’t about advice—it’s about creating the conditions where others can succeed without you.”
“The greatest return on investment any organization can make is developing its people intentionally.”
“Junior officers don’t want to complain—they want to contribute. We just have to give them a voice and a pathway.”
“When talented people disengage, it’s usually not because they don’t care—it’s because they don’t believe they’re being heard.”
“Bottom-up feedback isn’t a threat to leadership; it’s a force multiplier.”
Some leaders wait for permission to lead.Others build systems that empower people to lead themselves.
This Sunday, I’m honored to welcome MAJ Chris Slininger—a field-grade Army officer, mentor, writer, and change agent who is helping reshape how the U.S. Army listens to, develops, and empowers its junior leaders.
Chris is the Founder & Director of the Army Junior Officer Counsel (AJOC), a bottom-up initiative enabling junior officers to drive real change in quality of service, quality of life, and institutional trust. His work sits at the intersection of mentorship, leadership, writing, and organizational reform—lessons that resonate far beyond the military.
