Mission, Vision & Values: How Ethics & Compliance Principles Apply to Successful Military Operations

In this episode, Susan Frank Divers sits down with Lieutenant General Jennifer Short to explore what military leadership can teach us about ethics and compliance in any organization. Drawing from her experience leading from the cockpit to the Pentagon, Jen explains why rules and command structures create order — but values create trust. And in high-stakes environments where plans are never perfect and information is always incomplete, trust is what determines whether a mission succeeds or fails. They unpack why simply “following the rules” is not enough, how leaders operationalize compliance through modeling and accountability, and why you can never walk past a problem without signaling what you’re willing to tolerate. The conversation also highlights the risks organizations face when mission and purpose aren’t clearly articulated: stalled decision-making, misaligned action, wasted time, and increased exposure. This rapid-fire discussion makes one point clear: ethics and compliance principles aren’t abstract ideals — they are operational enablers. Whether in combat or in the boardroom, shared values, disciplined execution, and clear purpose are what allow teams to move quickly, mitigate risk, and accomplish the mission. 00:00:11 Welcome to Ethena’s Rapid Fire Takes on Ethics & Compliance 00:00:44 Rapid Fire: Shared Values vs. Rules and Command Structure 00:01:27 Rapid Fire: Is Following the Rules the Most Important Requirement? 00:01:43 Rapid Fire: The Importance of Mission, Purpose, and Values 00:02:04 The Role of Values in Military Operations 00:03:17 How Leaders Make Rules Operational 00:04:21 You Can Never Walk Past a Problem 00:04:47 What Happens When Mission and Purpose Aren’t Clear? 00:05:29 Translating Military Clarity to the Business World
