Tennessee’s Third District U.S. Representative Chuck Fleischmann, who is Chairman of the Energy and Water Subcommittee of Appropriations, was named to the powerful Defense Appropriations Subcommittee responsible for funding America’s military and national defense. In addition to serving as Chairman of the Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee and serving on Defense Appropriations, Chairman Fleischmann is a senior member of the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations Subcommittee and is a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and serves on the Energy Subcommittee. “I’m honored to be named to serve on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee. I want to thank Chairman Cole and all my colleagues for their confidence and strong support. There is no more important task than ensuring that America’s military and defenses are strong and second to none in the world. I am committed to providing the necessary tools and resources so the men and women of our armed forces can carry out their mission to protect America and our freedoms and liberties,”. “As the world continues to become more dangerous and our adversaries become more emboldened, it’s absolutely critical for our safety and the peace of the world that America remains strong and militarily ready to respond to any aggression against ourselves or our allies. As a proud Constitutional Conservative and Ronald Reagan Republican, I believe in the doctrine of ‘peace through strength’ that has been proven time and time again throughout our history to be the only way to ensure peace and security. We must continue revitalizing our nation’s nuclear deterrent, investing in modernizing our armed forces, expanding our defense industrial base, and ensuring that our troops have every single tool and resource to protect America and our national interests.

To truly understand performance and the DNA of our teams, we must shift our focus from our best days to our worst. During these challenging times, our true colors are revealed—the strength of our character, our teams' resilience, and our leadership's effectiveness.

Confronting our worst days head-on is a crucial step on our leadership and self-discovery journey. It compels us to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to address them. This proactive approach fosters resilience within our organizations and ourselves, equipping us to navigate challenges with greater effectiveness and courage.

The true essence of our leadership and character will always take center stage during adversity. While our best days may offer moments of triumph and fulfillment, they only tell part of the story.

Embracing the lessons learned from our worst days is key to gaining a more comprehensive understanding of performance, ourselves, and the individuals on our teams. In these moments, we uncover hidden opportunities for deeper learning and growth. So, the next time you face a challenge or roadblock, remember, it's not a setback.

I's a unique opportunity to learn, adapt, pivot — and above all, get better.
