Bravo Battery 3-6 ADA Case Study

Lt. Audie L. Murphy’s name stands as one of the most prominent in American military history. He was a figurehead of leadership and the epitome of the seven Army Values (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage). He was a model for every soldier to follow, one that overcame every odd that was ever against him and rose to conquer every challenge. In his personal memoir “To Hell and Back”, he expressed a very personal view of what it takes to embody these characteristics which would eventually encourage anyone who reads it. In the next few paragraphs I will expound on his leadership and analyze what it really takes

James R. McDonough sets a spectacular example of what it is to be a second lieutenant in the United States Army and what it is truly like to lead a group of enlisted soldiers for the first time. Lieutenant McDonough, a graduate of West Point, was deployed as a platoon leader in a small fort with the mission of holding a Vietnamese village out of the hands of the Viet Cong. When he arrived, Lieutenant McDonough discovered that the former Lieutenant and platoon leader of the 2d Platoon, Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 503d Infantry (Airborne) hardly ever left his

It is this backdrop of adaptation and versatility that warrants an overview to reinforce a positive attitude, esprit de corps, and sense of unity within the units across the air defense artillery branch.

CW5 Jeremy Light distinguished himself through exceptionally meritorious service during 29 years of service to the United States Army. CW5 Light’s technical competence, superb leadership skills, and tremendous devotion to duty have contributed immeasurably to every unit he served with throughout his career.

As changes occur he tries to be truthful and straightforward, for it is when employees are unaware of what is happening to the company that a leader fails. Pivotal to the success of a leader is communication, a human skill that is required at all levels of management.

Mr. Patterson was also unable to lead his team because he was capable of communication with them in a manner that could obtain desired responses. According to Williams (2007), “The more aware and sensitive you can become to how other people react, the more you will be able to steer this response you get from others” (p.8).

I told Sherrie that Maurice Harrington arrived at the platoon November 1968, which made him an old-timer when I arrived to the platoon. Maurice was always quick with a smile and a joke. While in Vietnam I found him entertaining and friendly and a great distraction to our surroundings. I recounted the story of Maurice getting shot in the nose by the medic and the round hitting the soldier sitting next to him and that soldier died while being flown to the Chu Lai Hospital on the dust-off. On the serious side, he could take charge and be a team leader or squad leader.

I worked with Bennie as part of the United States Army Recruiting Command in Red Bank, New Jersey. As a Station Commander, Bennie strove to balance mission accomplishment with team members well being. Bennie was keenly aware of the importance of the team’s mission and endeavored to ensure mission accomplishment. Although the driving force behind the station was mission success, Bennie went above and beyond his duty in ensuring that the recruiters assigned to the station understood the value of teamwork and shared mission accomplishment.

I am blessed to work for a supervisor who has many great leadership characteristics. I consider Chief Michael Haworth a mentor who has instilled many of the same characteristics in me over the years.

I previously thought that to be successful you had to possess a specific skill set to perform the job you wanted. However, I learned that no matter what position you obtain the most important skill you need is communication. Communication allows you to learn the information needed to perform a job. From asking the right questions to listening to those around you, appropriate communication can mean the difference between doing a good job versus doing a great job. In Ken’s case, he had to communicate with a various amount of people to build a solid foundation for his company to build from. By communicating his vision appropriately, Ken was able to attract the attention of his customers, along with the attention of great employees to attain success in his

Turner does not communicate effectively with Cardullo while on the job. Since Cardullo splits time between offices, when he is present at MLI, Turner should show initiative and engage Cardullo in discussion about how they can approach tasks and still achieve company goals. Many times, decisions that Turner made regarding inventory and price issues were not consistent with Cardullo’s approach. Since there is an existing gap in communication at MLI, having a suitable communication model would help to pre-empt any potential problems that may occur. He should be more persuasive by showing how his ideas and plans would achieve the goals that Cardullo has set and still adhere to Cardullo’s strategies.

The purpose of this assignment is to analyse and discuss one of the seventeen attributes of the University of Queensland that was demonstrated during the management of the particular case study. Although all seventeen attributes should correlate and in fact are interrelated, this assignment will analyse and focus on one attribute: “The ability to interact effectively with others in order to work towards a common outcome”.

Communication is a part of everyday life. Not only is it present in our personal lives, but in the
