Episode 62: Private Charles Lamb
Hawkeye: Dear Dad. The wounded keep coming and coming. The
latest batch were Greek soldiers. Greece is one of the
17 UN countries fighting here in Korea. Greeks,
Siamese, Ethiopians, Turks. You name ‘em, we got ‘em.
The Common denominator is blood. It’s all red. And
there’s an awful lot of it leaking out around here.

After the doctors patch up a Greek regiment at the 4077th, the Greek colonel invites the camp to celebrate their Greek Easter with them to express his gratitude for their care of his soldiers. Radar is so upset that a live lamb is to be the main course, he organises a medical discharge for “Private Charles Lamb” to save the lambs life.
Leadership is no respecter of persons. When it comes to the rigours and responsibilities that are a normal part of leading our ethnicity, culture, social and economic status, and gender don’t divide us but unite us. Leaders from all walks of life, all industries and all nations understand the challenges and conflicts associated with leadership. They share common principles and a common purpose that enable them to connect at a level that those they lead are unable to. This doesn’t make leaders better than others but enables them to recognize the common denominators that provide solidarity among leaders. Whether I am speaking with a colleague in Indonesia or a business Leader in my local community, we share a mutual understanding of leadership that transcends the different contexts in which we lead.
