    There is a clear issue with the Army’s promotion system that I will discuss in this forum. I will address my upbringing in the military and what I have seen over my 19-year career. Without a well-defined chain of command, the Army would not be the well-oiled machine that it is today. The organizational structure, which is “the way in which job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated” as defined in (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p. 519) is very well known and reiterated down to the lowest level.…

    Building the Team with Mutual Trust in a Positive Command Climate There are six principles of Mission Command (MC) and each is key to establishing, running, and leading an effective unit. In this essay, I will address one principle with a subsection paramount to producing a successful unit. I will incorporate this principle and subsection from MC into my next assignment either as a Sergeant Major (SGM) or Command Sergeant Major (CSM). This does not mean the remaining five principles are not important; rather, each builds off the other to make a powerful unit. I chose the first principle of MC because of keywords in the reading.…

    I am a leader in many areas of life whether that's the classroom, clubs, or at home but the place where I show the most leadership is the sports field. Of the two sports seasons so far this year I have been on Junior Varsity and Varsity for both of them and during Track in the spring there is only Junior Varsity and Varsity, no Freshman teams. During the final day of volleyball tryouts we had a "conditioning day" where we would rotate through stations with a different exercise routine at each and one station was a coaches meeting. These were my first tryout of high school and they were extremely stressful, not only because I wanted to prove myself to my coaches but also because the training was so difficult. We had two-a-days for 10 days including Saturdays and at the end of each practice we did a drill…

The concept of leadership has been defined from different perspectives and has been approached from different baselines.…

    He is a great base of knowledge for the infantry branch and despite his initial attitude, he really wants to better the Army anyway he can; including talking to cadets about the Army. With this in mind, my next question to Sergeant Houle was, what is the best recommendation that you could give to a cadet who is about to commission as an infantry officer? His answer was to not "come in all headstrong". To elaborate, he hit again on the fact that the majority of people in the unit that I will arrive in will have years of experience over me; even at the lowest levels. He also encouraged me to seek out the existing platoon leadership, platoon sergeant, and squad leaders, and find out what they feel has worked best in the past and what they would like to see changed.…
