Little wooden people figures for Rules of Leadership.

Exploring the 12 Rules of Leadership – Part 3

Table of Contents To continue our series on the 12 Rules of Leadership (as taught by Jocko Willink in the book, Leadership Strategy and Tactics), let’s look at the next set of three rules. Rules 7, 8, and 9 all talk about qualities that are sometimes difficult to achieve as a leader. These rules force the leader to look inward and see if his or her daily decisions are affecting the team. Read below for some insights from leaders within the Mesa Organization. (This title is on the Mesa Solutions’ reading list, which you can find here.) Rule of Leadership #7: Work Hard. As the leader, you should be working harder than anyone else on the team. No job is beneath you. “Working alongside Rich King, I have been repeatedly amazed at how he continually sets a great example of working just as hard or harder than his team. If he needed anyone to work through the night or through the weekend, he was there working side by side with them. He has always jumped in and done all the dirty work

Microgrid Electrical Design Essentials:
Evaluating Parameters for Reliable, Cost-Effective, and Optimized Power Solutions

As distributed generation, energy storage, and controller technology advance, microgrids are becoming more prevalent and viable. The capability to push power into and draw power from the grid while also independently supplying power to a local load offers significant advantages in terms of reliability, control, and cost minimization. Below is a brief overview of the parameters to consider when designing a microgrid. Considerations for Load Profiles and Power Sources Two of the most prominent aspects of microgrid design to consider are: What type of load profile exists? For example, how does power consumption vary over regular intervals such as an hour, a day, a month, or a year? What power sources are available to supply the load? Load Profile A typical load profile features a base load, which represents the minimum amount of power consistently consumed, a peak load, which denotes the maximum power consumption within a specific interval, and intermediate loads that transition between the base load and peak load. The specifics of the magnitude of each type of load, typical durations of each, and how quickly transitions must

Resilient Mesa Power Solutions in Action in Texas.

Resilient Power Solutions for Critical Infrastructure: Leveraging Natural Gas Generators

The world is rapidly changing, and maintaining a reliable power supply is paramount, especially for critical infrastructure systems such as hospitals, data centers, and emergency services. Disruptions to the electrical grid can have catastrophic consequences, making it imperative to invest in resilient power solutions. One technology that has proven its worth in ensuring uninterrupted power is natural gas generators. In this article, we will explore how natural gas generators offer a viable and efficient solution for critical infrastructure, focusing on their reliability, environmental benefits, and cost-effectiveness. Reliability When it comes to critical infrastructure, reliability is non-negotiable. Natural gas generators have established themselves as a reliable power source, offering consistent performance even during times of grid outages or extreme weather conditions. Unlike renewable energy sources that rely on weather conditions, natural gas generators provide continuous power, making them a steadfast choice for critical systems that demand an uninterrupted electricity supply. These generators are designed with advanced technology and sophisticated control systems that ensure seamless operations. They can automatically detect power failures and swiftly transition to generator power, minimizing downtime and preventing

Take care of your people and they will take care of you. “We all want to be respected. The hard part is not everyone is easy to respect. The funny thing about respect is that you don’t get to decide if people respect you; you have to
