SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE (SES):
By way of introduction, my name is Ricky J. Lamberth and I am submitting this letter with
resume for review and consideration within your SES corps. With over 34 years of extraordinary
leadership qualifications within the Department of Defense and Department of the Army, both as an
enlisted soldier and commissioned officer (LTC), I possess particular qualities that would be essential
to your agency. My International service to my country includes Iraq and Afghanistan, plus years of
varied situations in other overseas assignments and within the Continental United States (CONUS),
refined my executive skills to make them well-honed and diverse. I was responsible for the
requirements, assets, policies and goals of my nation through my leadership expertise in project
management, procurement, industrial and operational logistics plus contingency contracting. Those
that I served with value me with the utmost highest accord in these areas. Through leading people in
the military and private sector, I have become accustomed to an environment where deadlines are
6. priority and handling multiple jobs simultaneously are the norm. It is my desire to continue and
accelerate my leadership abilities to my nation in your agency. Please, review the following attached
resume and contact me to schedule a mutually convenient time for a face-to-face interview.
Respectfully,
Rick Lamberth
LTC, USA Retired
5 Executive Core Qualifications or ECQs that are necessary skills and abilities:
- Leading People
After 34 years of Department of Defense (DoD) extensive experience in the study and practice of
human motivation and leadership, I know that the most important piece of equipment that we have is
our human capital. Technical capabilities are only as good as our leadership capabilities to inspire
greatness from our people. My 34 years of service has allowed me to follow those that I have
inspired or supported to achieve new levels of personal and professional accomplishments. While
serving as the Logistician for Joint Task Force 134 (JTF 134) in Iraq, I built and inspired a team that
successfully managed over $1B annual acquisition budget and supported over 8,000 service
members to include coalition forces and other members of the U.S. government (USG).
- Leading Change
I lead change from the front because only people are truly multi-dimensional and as a leader I need to
know my people in order to help the organization grow and transform. The diversity of teams and
their individuals never lends itself well to following a methodology. Many years ago, I learned the
concepts of SHU-HA-RI and applying that philosophy in many different environments has led to
unprecedented success. I no longer think about it, I do. Knowing that people who are learning new
skills or are in new environments must go through those three levels provides the baseline I need to
approach each situation flexibly and responsive to whatever opportunities may present themselves or
whatever challenges demand my attention. The training that I have completed in Lean Six Sigma
(LSS) and Continuous Process Improvement (CPI) only serve to re-inforce this maxim. As an
example, three IPTs I built operate completely differently and yet all very successful. The teams are
comprised of junior people, contractors, senior people and an entire mix of capabilities. The common
thread is the customized and iterative approach to communicate, establish common goals and most
of all focus on the individual’s world rather than the needs of the business. I find this approach
naturally led to mentoring individuals outside our work environment and personal satisfaction through
the growth of others. Improving the work atmosphere of my co-workers is integral to achieving team
effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility.
- Building Coalitions
My training with Command and General Staff Offices College CGSOC , MBA from Webster
University, and Dale Carnegie has helped me to develop competency in development of inclusivity,
respect for others and empowerment of team participants. The key to team building is “engagement”.
Each team person must have ownership/accountability of their contribution or lack of to the final
result. Each team person must have ownership/accountability for their contribution or lack of to the
final result. I serve to set a high standard of work ethic, ownership and accountability to not only do
my part in contribution to the team goals and mission but to help others achieve the same.
- Being Results Driven
Accountability, integrity and honesty are key core principles of my both my professional and personal
life. Negotiating and influencing is a skill that has been critical to my success in logistics. Working on
7. an international scale to negotiate with third party logisticians to obtain prompt and accurate delivery
of goods to Southwest Asia (SWA), was important in support of coalition forces in the Global War of
Terrorism. Through tough negotiations while serving as a Field Ordering Officer (FOO) in Iraq, I
saved the Army and taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- Having Business Acumen
My Masters in Business Administration (MBA) in conjunction with the Command and General Staff
Offices College (CGSOC) has helped me to focus on the return on investment (ROI) and earned
value management (EVM). Continuing education in project and contract management i.e. Federal
Acquisition (FAR) Acquisition Program Baselines (APB) Operational Contract Support (OCS) Supply
chain review / audits, logistics analyst for DoD have kept my skills current. My Lean Six Sigma (LSS)
training has added width and depth to my analytical ability by providing me the tools to systematically
remove waste and improve performance. Due to my advice and recommendations to both the 1st
Infantry Division Commander and contractors, I assisted in cutting back costs in the expansion of
military sites in the Multi-National Division - North (MND-N) of Iraq to save the USG
approximately $ 11M dollars per year.
