General Brooks's Career

The legacy leader I have chosen to write about is Brigadier General (BG) Richard T. Ellis (Deceased). BG Ellis was a true influential leader in the United States (U.S.) Army and intelligence community. This paper will discuss how BG Ellis showed leadership attributes and competencies covered in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 6-22 and Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 6-22. It will also discuss how he influenced leaders and changes in the intelligence community. Finally it will cover how his actions influenced me in my military career.

At the end of the day, a true leader “in the army will do these three things live by the army core values, know the warrior ethos, and lead by example”-MSI textbook. Leaders both in and out of the army are held to a higher standard holding themselves in a professional manner at all times. The success of the group is attributed to the leadership styles and core values instilled in the solider to do his job effectively. General Eisenhower once

I have chosen to write about my old Battalion Commander, Brigadier General(BG) Peter Jones. The then Lieutenant Colonel(LTC) Jones oversaw my Infantry Battalion when I deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. He displayed numerous attributes that I model my military career from; he had an unwavering presence and strong intellect. His competence was also the highest that I have ever encountered in my military career; he was a lead from the front type of leader and strove to achieve nothing but success whilst keeping the soldiers in his command in the front of his mind. I have set my standards of leadership off BG Jones and that is why he is my personal leader of influence. I will outline some examples of him throughout this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to address how I, SSG Schumacher, have identified Major Robert Rogers as a legacy leader and a leader of influence in my military career as a non-commissioned officer and member of the military intelligence community. This paper will cover three main topics in which I will first discuss a brief history of the life of Major Rogers. Then, his impact on the evolution of warfare and leadership attributes on the United States Army. Finally, I will discuss how his leadership attributes led to him making an impact on the military today and Soldiers such as myself.

Leadership involves providing purpose, direction and motivation to subordinates to accomplish the mission. It is evident with the years of battle that General Robert E. Lee’s engaged in that he possessed the ability to motivate and inspire troops. In the black powder era of warfare, command remained very much personalized. The generalship of Robert E. Lee, an excellent Confederate general during the American Civil War, is arguably the greatest single factor in keeping the Confederacy alive during the years of the Civil War (Lee, Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia). On the contrary, General George Brinton McClellan participated in only one battle for its entirety, The Battle of Antietam. Therefore, this battle must serve as measurement of his leadership capabilities. Throughout this paper, I will compare and contrast the leadership of both of these Generals as it pertains to the

After the war, Harry Truman appointed Bradley to take lead in the VA, and in 1948, Bradley succeeded Eisenhower as Army Chief of Staff. The next year, he was selected as the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Omar Bradley). Bradley accepted the job and began to and restructure that organization to meet the difficulties that it would face. Before the end of the war, the VA held accountable for about 5 million veterans. Big disagreements between the Navy and Air Force over roles and missions had started while Bradley was Army Chief and continued into his tour sa JCS Chairman. When disagreements over nuclear deterrence and the value of conventional forces further worsen service differences, Bradley played an important role to help solve the conflicts when they were disagreeing (Arlington). Bradley was then involved in NATO, and later became the chairman. Bradley became an active adviser to President Truman during the Korean War, and helped to solve the conflict in Asia (Arlington). Bradley was a polite man, and was popular earning the esteem and confidence. Will Lang Jr. said, "The thing I most admire about Omar Bradley is his gentleness . He was never known to issue an order to anybody of any rank without saying 'Please' first." Bradley also served as a member of Lyndon Johnson’s “Wise Men,” a think-tank made up of famous Americans who are known as experts in their field. Their main purpose was to recommend strategies

This paper will cover four main topics, in which I will first discuss a brief history of the life of Major Rogers, then, his impact on the evolution of warfare.

George Catlett Marshall was an American Soldier and Statesman. According to May (2002) He is widely accepted as this nation’s most esteemed 20th century military figure and as a paragon of professionalism and officership (p. 1002). George Marshall’s character is what defined him. He was as an individual who could be trusted by his colleagues, his subordinates and superiors alike. Of all the qualities of leadership, the one most valued by Marshall and perhaps most reflective of his character was that of candor. In the spring of 1939, President Franklin D Roosevelt began the search for a replacement for Army chief of staff, General Malin Craig, who was due to retire on 1 September 1939 (Reist, 2013, p. 1439). In April, President Roosevelt decided

Evaluating the worth of a general through the analysis of his actions in combat is no easy task. The task is made harder when the battles he led are more than one hundred years in the past. The general’s actions must be examined through the use of primary and secondary sources and knowledge of the campaign. I will show that General Sheridan displayed excellent generalship in his actions and planning during the Appomattox campaign. Sources say General Philip Sheridan’s leadership following the evacuation of Petersburg is said to have been astounding. Perhaps the greatest testament to this claim are the words General Grant had to share regarding Sheridan’s actions. General Grant believed, “General Sheridan has no superior as a general, either

The United States Army has changed their philosophy on leadership and managing their personal. The days of having leadership oversee and dictate every detail of the mission are in the past. Due to changing environments and decentralized operations, leaders have to become adaptive, innovative, and make a sound judgment decision to be successful ("ADP 6-22 Army Leadership", 2012). Captain Gary Harber is the commander for Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) in the 194th Armor Brigade. In the following pages, Harber's background information will be discussed, explore his innovate leadership style, examine changes to the organization's culture, and describe the writer's reflection on this assignment.

As you listen to this speech, you will hear me talk about how General Daniel Chappie James JR embodies Full range leadership by utilizing the trait-based philosophy and how he came about to leveraging diversity through his visionary leadership concepts.

The General had some very strong parental guidance while growing up. His parents lived their lives with dignity and respect for all of those around them, these values were adopted and used throughout the Generals career. The parents were working class Jamaican immigrants who lived in the

General Lee also understand that the ability to lead not only requires to lead by example and influence his men, it is also by trusting them

When I first began reading for this course and reflecting on what a leader represents, my father came into mind. Keith Figgins, Sr. is not only the patriarch amongst my mother and my two siblings, but recently he has assumed the role of the elder in our extended family as well; upon the loss of my grandfather and mother life, he became the head of his two younger siblings, their spouses and their children. For as long as I can remember, my father has been the “go-to” person for advice, emergencies, or to be an ear to listen, not only from our family but also from friends, neighbors and even strangers; he has shown me what it is to be compassionate and empathetic towards others, while remaining true to myself by being uncompromising of my morals.

The first step towards being a great leader was not to rely on his family's achievements,
