There are so many outstanding Leaders in today’s Military. Leaders who are influencing and shaping today’s young Soldiers. When I first got this assignment, I had no idea who I felt and identified as a Legacy Leader to me. Webster’s defines Legacy as something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past. The Army defines a leader as anyone who by virtue of assumed role or assigned responsibility inspires and influences people to accomplish organizational goals.…
The Marine Corps leadership sets itself apart from the other services. Marines have a common core of beliefs instilled while at recruit training. Leadership understands the most precious asset is the individual Marine. Leaders have a responsibility to motivate and inspire Marines. The speed and tempo of the ever-changing world, and Corps, has caused certain aspects of styles of leadership to change and has resulted in a split in ideology.…
If I become an officer in the Navy I will continue to hold this view as I believe that an officer should always push himself and lead by example. An officer must know when to lead, when to follow, and when to stand aside. I learned this during a volunteer service trip rebuilding tornado stricken homes in Alabama. I realized that a leader only becomes a good leader when he, too, is following.…
Your post demonstrates how essential it is that the leadership of a firm act ethical and the effects that felt through the organization. Even if a company has a code of ethics if the leadership is not acting in an ethical way then the rest of the firm will follow not have a high ethical standard. In the military we have a saying, "Lead by example", meaning that as leader we will hold ourselves at a higher standard in order to show the younger airman that we mentor what is proper behavior. What was the aftermath within the organization once Mr. Kubasik step down and how did they change the policies. Finally I ask did they have methods in place to enforce the policies?…
At some point, every leader probably thinks about how they want to lead and what is important to him or her as a leader. During the CSC coursework, I wrote my command philosophy, which gave me an opportunity to reflect on past leaders I had encountered, and project how I wanted to lead in the future. The command philosophy was a statement, written to the members of the unit, about what I valued as a leader. As a foundation for how to approach this philosophy, the CSC coursework described USMC General Lejeune’s teacher/scholar leadership approach (USMC CDET, 2013a). This approach to leadership rests on a foundation of ethics, directly supporting an ethos of core values, mode of conduct, leadership principles, and leadership traits (USMC…
Being responsible is part of being a leader, but what makes a leader a leader? For one, others look up to leaders for guidance and for example. Since they are in charge, they will have eyes on them at all times. Leaders with exemplifying behavior will cause excellent behavior in the followers, because young cadets mirror the actions and methods of those before them. While drilling, a cadet is taught to do facing movements by being shown; no amount of verbal explanation is comparable to a demonstration of a right-face.…

Leadership Philosophy Values The Army has a set of seven values that are expected of every Officer, Warrant Officer, NCO and Soldier.

According to ADP 6-22, character, presence, intellect, and development are the main attributes a leader should possess. Character, I believe is one of the most important attributes for a military leader to have. Leading a group of soldiers is different than leading a group of coworkers. Soldiers are away from their families, putting their life on the line for our country, therefor they need more from a leader than to just make the decisions. They need someone who demonstrates the army values (ADP 6-22).…
There are a myriad of individual races and cultures that are melded into our Army. It is these different backgrounds coupled with Army culture that shapes our leaders. To become a leader, you must first become a good follower. As a follower, the individual has the propensity to become a good leader. Trust and loyalty must be present to groom subordinates into leaders.…
Every soldier through history has honed their skills of leadership over several months of continuous training through their service in the military. Whether a soldier is a commissioned or non-commissioned officer, they instill leadership within themselves through their action and promote the idea across up-and-coming leaders. Therefore, the military drills leadership through a chain of command and the position a soldier carries within it. To better understand the purpose…
