Lt. Col. Steve Mount '08 - One Leader. One Million Acts Every Day.

People matter more than position, and leadership starts with taking care of others. Doing that right means a million acts. Those are lessons Lt. Col.

Mount emphasizes that no one succeeds alone—people thrive because someone believed in them. Leaders create the conditions for others to rise. Resilience Through Setbacks Defines Growth From being rejected by the Academy at first, to multiple rejections from special operations units, Col. Mount frames failure as fuel. Persistence and support networks enabled him to turn setbacks into opportunities. Tough Conversations Are Essential to Leadership Whether stepping back from football at the Academy or telling an airman their dream of being a pilot wouldn’t happen, Col. Mount stresses that leaders must have difficult conversations with honesty, grace, and support. Balance Mission and Family—Your Team Includes Home His journey shows that leadership is not just professional—it’s also at home. He learned to view his wife as a true teammate, and credits leaders who prioritized his family needs as role models for how he now leads. Leadership Is Built on Daily Actions, Not One Big Moment Mount rejects the idea of leadership being defined by a single great speech or act. Instead, it’s shown through “a million acts every day”—consistency, fairness, care, and presence in the grind alongside your people.
