Your assessment of Army leadership for the most part is accurate; however, I feel that there are still a lot of good leaders out there. In my 13 years of service, I have seen my fair share of good leaders and bad leaders. Luckily, for me, I have seen more good leaders than bad ones. I agree though, the art of leadership has fallen a bit to the wayside since I first started my military career. I have often seen leaders too concerned with NCOER/OER bullets and promotions to provide effective leadership to their subordinates. Anyone that thinks otherwise is lying to him or herself; or simply lack situational awareness of the world around them. I feel that to be an effective leader, you have to be somewhat altruistic.
