Ethics Paper: Leaders with Profiles
Abstract
When it comes to excelling as a Soldier, there is one key element in serving our country that cannot be overlooked or taken lightly. The key element is none other than that of leadership. When you are serving in the capacity as a leader, rest assured that all eyes are on you watching every move you make. That subordinate Soldiers in particular always see you with different eyes. Most importantly, they and some of your peers and superiors often turn to you for guidance and information, based on your knowledge and experience. They believe in their hearts that you possess a lot of wisdom and could possible be that mentor they lone to have that would guide then in the right direction. But what happens to the heart and mind of that Soldier, peer, or subordinate when their leader sustains an injury that would preclude him or her from leading from the front? What about that leader who has been in the trenches and pushing Soldiers for a long time but now can't because of an injury to his or her body. It's a known fact that the human body takes a pounding if you stay in the military for and extended period of years. Our bodies do not heal as fast as it did when we were in our late teens to mid and late twenties. It takes just as long for the body to heal if your age is in the mid thirties to late forties. What use to take two weeks to heal now can take anywhere from two to three months.
