Favoritism in the Army, the Silent Ethical Dilemma
Abstract
As Noncommissioned Officers in the United States Army, we are charged with leading Soldiers and developing our units. To do this, we must always ensure that we adhere to the Army values and ethics. If we fail to do this and allow favoritism and partiality to creep into our dailyactivities with our Soldiers, our Soldiers and units will pay a very high price. We as leaders cannot be fooled into thinking that the incentives and rewards that we want to bestow on our Soldiers will not be seen as favoritism by others, even the perception of partiality from a leaderwill demoralize a unit and cause distrust from our Soldiers. As leaders, we must always be vigilant in our efforts to ensure fairness for all Soldiers within our rank.
