General: You had a mission here, Captain.
Hildebrand: I’ve done it. I can give you your report. In my short stay here, I have seen textbook
examples of neuroses, psychoses. I have
seen voyeurism, fetishism and a few “isms” I’ve never even heard of. And let me tell you this, General: these impossible people are in an impossible
place doing totally impossible work.
They’re mad, quite mad, all of them, and the only act I can think of
that would be madder still would be breaking them up.
General Clayton
sends a psychiatrist on a secret mission to the 4077 to assess whether the
stress of war is having an adverse effect.
Concerned by the possibility of the unit being broken up, Colonel Blake
tries to get the troops to be on their best behaviour.
There have been
seasons of leadership when I have most valued having a team who have shared the
burden that comes with leading through difficult circumstances. As I reflect upon these times of adversity
when we have faced seemingly impossible challenges, it was the unity of the
team that enabled us to overcome such adversity. When teams are united in adversity, there is
clarity of purpose when the way seems unclear.
When teams are united in adversity, there is cohesion between leaders
when others are divided. When teams are
united in adversity, there is confidence in shared wisdom and experience
instead of insecurity. Staying united
during times of adversity reveals an unshakeable resilience that makes the
impossible seem possible, empowering leaders to overcome their circumstances
instead of being overwhelmed by them.
