As a leader, I reflect on what my seniors, peers and subordinates would expect from me as well what I can expect from them. Being a leader is an art, not everyone is made or ready to take on this great opportunity and responsibility. Leadership requires listening and ethical decision making, this I will provide for those I lead. My philosophy is to lead in a manner that will encompass living the Army Values, as well as promoting the development of positive relationships among soldiers, peers, and their superiors. This will cultivate a climate to embrace diversity and respect for one another, create adaptability, and open communication barriers. Being able to receive feedback and criticism are important as well. I believe in having an open door …show more content…
I want the vision to be a mutually shared vision at every level. Soldiers that are empowered, informed, energetic, and thoughtful are successful. Soldiers need to have positive climate and supportive culture. Respect, open communication, diversity, and holding each other accountable are important elements to thrive in this organization. It is important for leaders and soldiers to be on the same page. I am committed to lifelong learning, encouraging relationships and upholding excellence in the standard of our Army. Personal and professional growth, collaboration, creativity, hard work, and dedication to your duty are paramount to our success. NCO’s are the backbone of the Army who drives this organization, we are a critical portion to the success of this puzzle. No leader is perfect, mistakes will be made but I will always stay true to myself, values, and beliefs in what I believe is best for the army and my soldiers. So in short, set the example in military bearing – weight, uniform appearance, physical fitness, or civilian professional appearance. Basic military courtesy should be a part
I will interact with my superiors with respect, courtesy and a constant drive to carry out their
We, as NCOs, have the responsibility to develop, prepare, and train our Soldiers for the challenge of an ever-changing operational environment.
Honor, Respecting the ones in charge. Courage, making good decisions. Commitment, having fair treatment to all. Joining JROTC was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I see the world way differently than when I was younger. Honor, Courage, Commitment, three simple, yet, the most important core values I try to follow on a daily basis. Being honorable, not only telling the truth, but also, being respectful to the authorities. Courage, not only being brave, but making good decisions will help you become a better leader. Commitment, coming together as a T.E.A.M, together everyone achieves more. Three things I will always remember to follow are there Navy core values, honor, courage, commitment. I am honorable at all times, commitment to work together, and having the courage to make good decisions. I am a South Side, Navy, JROTC, Cadet and I'm very proud on who I've became. Oh yes, I
Some people may have a few of the seven army values, but no one has all seven like an army soldier, we have a professional job that not many people think about, they think it's just about saving American. Soldiers have to be in top shape, in health and professionalism, soldiers has a whole have to be more professional than some business men and that's just because not a few people are looking over us, over billions of Americans are looking up at soldiers and are deciding if they want to join us and be as professional as us or just
1. Influential Soldiers that embody The Soldier’s Creed, Warrior Ethos, and their experiences are more apt to achieving organizational and operational excellence. Soldiers, leaders, and teams must seek individual and organizational improvement throughout their daily lives. Based on my experiences, I believe the elements listed below create and sustain a solid foundation that Soldiers, leaders, and teams should strive to incorporate.
A Soldiers’ moral demeanor must reflect beliefs and principles, not just fear of chastisement from each other. Over time, Soldiers adhere to dedication to the oath and the Army values because they want to live virtuously and truly confine in them because they feel it is a reflective of themselves and who they represent. When people believe and practice the Army values, they become
As a Non Commissioned Officers we need to seek what is best for our soldiers. It is our duty to guide them through this Army process. How are we going to do this? By maintaining discipline, training soldiers and ensuring welfare.
The core leader competency ‘Develops’ is broken into four key objectives: create a positive environment, prepare self, develop others and be a steward of the profession. The behaviors associated with these objectives are essential to the successful implementation of the Army SHARP program. Creating a positive environment decreases the risks of disciplinary issues in general. When an NCO is familiar with the required reporting procedures and available support programs they can more effectively train their Soldiers in what needs to be done given a situation that requires intervention. By passing the knowledge of how to handle situations to subordinates a NCO is ensuring the next generation of leaders carry on the ideals of the profession. When all of these objectives are met the unit becomes an environment where all personnel can be assured that not only their leaders, but also their peers will be invested in their wellbeing.
Have an understanding military life, challenges to veterans and respect the customs and traditions that veterans often cling to after transition.
Loyalty is important because trust is the bedrock of the US Army and it is important to have trust and be loyal to our brothers and sisters in arms because the absence of trust and loyalty and trust in our soldiers and leaders can destroy the foundation of our units and affect how effective is the accomplishment of our mission. Duty is important because that is what as soldiers we do every day, we accomplish all of our assigned tasks to the best of our abilities. To perform your duties is the minimum that is expected from every soldier and it is exactly what an enlisted soldier believes duty is. Respect is important because it is also fundamental to build trust between our soldiers and leaders. It is expected by every soldier, it shows our professionalism and consideration for our soldiers and leaders no matter what rank they hold and it is considered one of the most basic customs and courtesies shared in our society. Selfless Service is important because the US Army best works as a
As stewards of our profession, commanders ensure that military expertise continues to develop and be passed on to aspiring professionals through operational development. It is during this developmental phase that Professional Soldiers put their knowledge and skills to the test. Operational Army units certify and recertify their Professional Soldiers through repetitive and realistic training events including the Combat Life Saver Course, platoon live fires, and exercises at the National Training Center. In the course of these challenging and realistic experiences, the Army’s operational units develop Soldiers and leaders prepared to maintain high standards, discipline, and operational readiness. Operational development and adaptability will continue to drive changes in Army doctrine, organization, leadership, and education as we enter the post-war era. Without this kind of development, the Army could not maintain a well-disciplined professional fighting force.
They are not afraid to run the full length of the field when they are out of breath. They take risks, stretch their boundaries, and jump into new challenges. Good leaders are not reckless though they clutch bold behaviour and take ownership for their actions.
Espirit de Corps. Harmony among soldiers and teamwork are a major factor of a soldier, each one feels and participates as a team and are very good at " watching each others back".
In other words, the Army’s mission is to deploy when needed and to win in combat in support of the interests of the United States. It conducts training and operations in every part of the world with 520,000 active duty Soldiers in 223 occupational specialties or jobs. The mission seems relatively simple but recruiting Soldiers to fulfill this mission and retaining them is much more difficult than one would realize. I will present a few of the benefits in the Army’s EVP that motivate Soldiers to “be the best they can be” to make America and the world a better place.
