About us
Virginia Military Institute, a four-year public university, offers a relevant education within a military environment, developing character, engendering a sense of responsibility, and cultivating the ability to master adversity. The Center for Leadership and Ethics is a department of the Institute and provides curriculum instruction in leadership in a mandatory core course entitled "Leadership in Organizations," which explores more than a dozen theories on leadership styles. Other Center programs exist to enhance VMI’s leadership training system by offering cadet programs focused on leadership, ethics, and character development and a robust schedule of conferences on challenging topics of national and international interest. The Jackson-Hope Fund partly supports the Center for Leadership and Ethics.

Here’s the truth: You can’t lead if you’re constantly beating yourself up. Think about this: When things go wrong, are you your own worst critic? Do you beat yourself up for not being “good enough”? If that sounds familiar, you’re not practicing self-compassion—you’re holding yourself back. The truth is, you can’t lead others effectively if you’re constantly tearing yourself down. Self-compassion isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity for growth, both personally and professionally. ✅ Next time you fail, ask yourself: What did I learn? What can I do better next time? Then move on. No guilt. No shame. Just growth. 💭 What’s one way you show yourself grace? Share it below—because every leader needs to hear this message.

Gratitude isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have. In today’s fast-paced world, leaders often focus on what needs improvement. But the most impactful leaders pause to recognize what’s already working. Think about this: When was the last time you thanked your team for their hard work? Expressing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful ways to build trust, boost morale, and inspire loyalty. ✅ Ways to Practice Gratitude in Leadership: 1️⃣ Start meetings by acknowledging recent wins. 2️⃣ Write a note of appreciation to a colleague or employee. 3️⃣ Celebrate small milestones—progress is worth recognizing! The best leaders know that gratitude isn’t just about making others feel valued—it’s about fostering a culture of positivity and resilience. 💭 How do you show gratitude as a leader?
