Can We Improve Our Leadership Values During Deployment?

Abstract

Leadership is not ability. Leadership is an art to lead and manipulate Soldiers. In stressful environments, Soldiers need guidance to execute their missions. Nobody is born leader. Everybody can become a leader and a leader must have certain leadership traits. You can improve those you already have, and you can learn to use those in which you are not strong. Direct and personal leadership can take place any time. You have to prepare to lead your Soldiers during field training exercises and combat deployments, too. Being able to pass knowledge to our junior noncommissioned officers (NCOs) and lead them by example are the most important things for a sergeant major. The physical and moral courage will help us to reach the ultimate goal: improve our leadership skills any time.
