This motto pertaining primarily to the enlisted ranks who com pose the greater percentage of the army work Force is quite an obvious disappointment to the lower enlisted. Barracks life is a Superb example. Many times i have observed co worker cos both married and single off Post dwellers roaming our hallways after duty hours and on our Days off. Intoxicated clutching Beer bottles in full View of their subordinates. Partying with subordinates sets them As the leaders and Confor mists reinforcing unacceptable behaviour. Another instance is the workplace. Cos spew selected adjectives directed at certain subordinates. I cannot recall the Las positive or laudatory remark made regarding a Soldier s Job performance. Webster s dictionary version of what the word pos Ilive Means confident influence for Good increased progression not regression directed or moving to Ward a source of stimulation not away from.

Leading by exam ple is the most important and crucial principle cos must Reform their actions their Overall behaviour and carry themselves As professionals especially in the eyes of their subordinates at work and off duty. If a negative impression is what an no exudes to his subordinates it is just the beginning of loss of respect and crucial leadership potential no 2r know your soldiers and look out for their Well being. Positive comments regarding work performance appearances or Good conduct could Only Render positive results. Why Lei the three year criteria to receive the Good conduct medal Stop you As an no from awarding remarks now caring about your sol Diers will show a valuable empathy and True concern and become obvious in your soldiers eyes. It is a fact that a Soldier will perform belter if the no adheres to these principles As Well As the others. Why not put a program in your command which would Leach a boil full soldiering teach Aboul enthusiasm being positive and the endless possibilities of improving As an individual.

The contagion of self induced enthusiasm can go a Long Way Ana be a great tool for motivating in often the Mission is so urgent hat he people who work to accomplish the Mission Are often neglected. The soldiers arc the turning wheels the axles the faculty of the army machine. Being suitably main lain cd and tended guarantees a productive Well oiled piece of machinery. Being so intent on inc Mission Means often what really counts is forgotten amidst the scramble tack of communication and paperwork. We the enlisted have the perspective of prevalent underlying inadequacies inefficiencies and laxness within the system. The higher enlisted and officer ranks very often do not see the real situation the Way in really is what is really going on in their Chain of command thus communication becomes non existent. Ways of communicating depend solely on Choice of words tone of voice and physical gestures. Leadership is More than setting the example. The right word spoken at the right moment is also an important part of leadership. What and How you communicate either builds or harms the strength of the relationship Between you and your soldiers what you want As an no is Mutual Trust respect Confidence and understanding. Respect cannot be forced if what you exude is otherwise. These Bonds form the basis of discipline and Cohe Sion in a unit. They Are built Over time As your follow cars learn from raining from experience and from what you communicate As an effective Leader a Quality no. ,.

What Are some of the Resul Sof a positive Leader subordinates will be motivated positive in their out looks and will learn from the trial and error of having a Good attitude and not having it subtracting motivation enthusiasm and aggressiveness. /. Creativity plays a Large role in maintaining spontaneity and longevity of the enthusiastic attitude and methods of thinking. If a creative idea is applied to wards a Challenge or dilemma the Burden will seem lighter and More Apt to be resolved with a newer Way to attack it. The Mere act of trying to find other alter Nativ Eslo solutions is quite valuable. In the eyes of the Soldier your leadership is everything you do that affects Mission accomplish men and his Well new army motto has potential to grow thrive and Branch out into inc Many lives of its soldiers. The army is not just a Mission it is people. Spec. Kim a Mclean. ,. Augsburg West Germany fee for women vets memorial explained when 1 first heard about the memorial to female veterans of the armed services twas delighted it is a project that has been Long overdue however a recent article in the stars and stripes indicated thai in order for a female Veteran 6 have her name included on the computer registry for inc memo rial she must pay a $25 fee.
