To remain the world’s best Coast Guard, we must be the world’s most diverse and inclusive Coast Guard. With that goal in mind, the Pacific Area Staff Leadership and Diversity Advisory Council (LDAC) is creating a video series focusing on leadership, diversity and inclusion topics, hosted by Petty Officer 1st Class Aldrich Adams, PACAREA Staff LDAC Co-Chair. In this first interview, Vice Adm. Michael McAllister, Commander, Pacific Area, shares his thoughts and insights on inclusive leadership, and the imperative for leaders at all levels to actively seek to learn and grow in our cultural awareness and fluency as part of our journey to becoming a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive Coast Guard.
