For some…. it was a challenging experience. For others, it was a great learning experience, but….for ALL…. there were moments of tolerance….respect, and understanding of the diversity of characters and personalities that comprise this group. This diversity is what makes us respected as Soldiers and valued as LEADERS. Leadership has nothing to do with the position or title. You can demonstrate leadership with your interpersonal relationships. You must be able fulfill promises, listen, be honest in everything you do, foster respect and achieve lasting relationships of trust by being loyal and trustworthy. Always act with passion, optimism and motivation while you value your Soldiers. Take care of them; demonstrate your leadership by providing correct example and mentorship.

Never permit that negative comments stop your performance; use those comments as tools to improve and always strive to be a better human being, a better Soldier, but most of all…. a true LEADER. Pride yourself by demonstrating your excellence and hard

The creed of the noncommissioned officer is a baseline for all noncommissioned officers Corporal all the way up to Sergeant Major, on how to conduct oneself in the leading of soldiers. It does not outline every single situation you may come into throughout your military career but if you live this creed then you should be set for success. In this paper we are going to take an in depth look into the creed and how you can apply every aspect of it to leadership.
Performed duties of an SGL assigned to the Basic Leader Course (BLC) for the Fires Center of Excellence (FCOE). Served as the subject matter expert for all Course Management Plan (CMP) and Programs of Instruction (POI,) training and maintaining instructor certification.

In support of my capstone project, I assessed and will submit a redesigned proposal with developmental recommendations for reformation of a solid POI for the SPCC that takes place at the Army Logistics University. In this, I have identified the foremost purpose for this redesign as the following: The investment in the education and training of rising leadership is vital to the long-term success of our sustainment support staff and the services provided. With this course providing training in modular force operations for newly selected command designees that enables them to function effectively throughout their command tour it is very important to make sure that the training is substantive. Therefore the main focus is to assure that training is current and emerging sustainment doctrine and leadership topics for commanders on the National Guard, Reservist and Active Duty levels is most essential.

I am thankful for the program that in the school and just the great instructor that are there helping us to grow. Learning to be a great leader is someone that will be there for everyone in the flight and other squadron.

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the Eagle Battalion’s 5th annual Military Ball. This program is something that has changed several people lives including myself. Most people who sign up for JROTC don't see how much it has change their life into they are viewed differently by people in their life. Each year, we succeed as a whole group and ; sharing our leadership skills with our friends and get to experience new positions each year. I’ve always want to be Battalion Commander but never would I have thought I would have grown to be the person I am today. There are some hard days where nothing would going right but I rely on my fellow cadets to help me get through it. But throughout the year and even now, I continue to grow as
The purpose of this document is to explain how Sargent First Class (SFC) Kietsayam Krueree is my leader of influence and directly impacts the legacy I want to leave as a soldier. He was the first individual I met in the Army who mentored me and displayed leadership core competences. I have had many leaders in the Army, few have left a lasting impression that had a positive effect on my leadership style. He volunteered me for every open position that was challenging and essential for my professional growth. He found a way to make every task a developmental point for all of the soldiers. Several leadership traits to include my adaptability and calm demeanor, I owe to SFC Krueree’s mentorship. He is a leader who smiled and made every
I have multiple expectations of Center Leader course. My first expectation is to start with the basics. We need to have a base to start from. By learning and understanding the regulatory guidance it builds the base from which we grow. Too many times leaders are expected to or are assumed to already have the knowledge. The Non-commissioned officer corps needs to return to the “backbone” of the Army. Through proper self-development, sharing of one another’s knowledge and institutional learning we can accomplish this. I believe the ability and the desire to research has been lost. I do not expect to be handed answers. I do not need to ask for answers. I want to be guided in the right direction to get results. I need to research information for
CW3 (Ret.) Brydges taught me not to be fixated on leaving a mark or self-absorbed with how people will remember me. I want my influence to be genuine, based on my strong personal values and morals. As a Drill Sergeant, I have a large impact on how new soldiers interpret the Army. It is important to me not to violate their trust, instill standards and discipline, and show them true professionalism. They say that soldiers will always remember their Drill Sergeants. When soldiers reflect back on their experience in Basic Combat Training I want them to say, “Drill Sergeant Lawrence, she was an amazing leader. She taught me a lot about the Army and about myself. She motivated me and inspired me to do my best.” That is it. The same way Basic Combat Soldiers view me is how I want all soldiers to see me. A leader whom provides mentorship, develops them into leaders, and empowers their potential. I want to motivate soldiers by leading by example and lead with confidence even in adverse conditions. I would like to leave a legacy built on the truth of who I am as a leader and how I influence others. Most importantly, those that I have influenced and developed as leaders will be my true
General Odierno’s remarks highlight the renewed emphasis on Army leader development. The Army defines leader development as “a continuous and progressive process, spanning a leader’s entire career.”
A great non commissioned officer knows how to incorporate both types of leadership aspects so that he can keep his soldiers motivated into getting the work that needs to be done over with and in a timely manner and when the soldiers do this they are rewarded for their hard work either by off post PT or a late call.
The question that first comes to mind is: what makes an Army Officer? First things first, one must know the army values and how to lead. An officer must know his self as well as his soldiers that he is guiding. The characteristics of a good army officer varies.
