Impact Of The On The Force

No matter if you stay in for one enlistment or two, the depth of the Marine Corps is unknown so knowledge will continuously flow and it is endless. All Marines get taught the basics of being a leader in entry level training, but only a few can react to help form their trait into an elite skill only for them. In order to become the elite you have to build a "Foundation of Values" (pg.31) so that respect in all aspects will become evident between the followers and their leader(s). While setting the example it does not matter what rank you are, you still show that the standards that you hold will reflect on who you are as a person and a Marine. Each Marine chooses how their standards and ways will become beneficial not only to the Marine Corps, but to themselves also. Why do ethics make conducting a moment of decision making so hard? At some point and time every Marine will come to a point in their career or life where the grey area will be the path they choose, but will not think that it is the right way. Moral and ethic dilemmas are common more and more each day. Every Marine is taught to be the toughest both physically, and mentally.

The book Black Hearts opened my eyes to how leadership from a single Officer can have a grappling effect on such a wide range of soldiers from the lowest of ranks. One of the best takeaways from Black Hearts is to never do anything: illegal, unethical, or immoral. Although this is a easy statement to repeat, Black Hearts demonstrates the difficulties that lie behind these words. It has also painted a picture of how leadership can topple extremely quickly from a top down view. The Army is portrayed in a bad light throughout the book relentlessly. This is due to the concentration of poor leadership of the 1-502nd Regiment (Referred to as “First Strike”), a battalion of the 101st Airborne Division.

All leadership should trust their subordinates when executing a task. Ensuring Soldiers do their job while implementing military standards without supervision is fundamental. Subordinates should trust us to make the sound judgments that will bring them home to their loved ones. Knowing that we can count on each other brings the confidence we need to stay focused on the mission, increasing abilities to make right decisions in stressful situations where a second can determine life or death on the battlefield. Learning how to let go could seemingly be one of the hardest skills to master. If leaders don’t trust their subordinates it can be interpreted as micro management, these leaders will do all the work. Leaving no room for their subordinates to evolve, as leaders causing a negative

The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the readers with an ethical issue with NCOERs that I came across while serving as a First Sergeant. I was appalled to learn that leaders and raters are writing inaccurate and irrelevant NCOERs and making them less effective, because NCOs are not applying themselves. NCOs expect to be evaluated fairly, objectively, and want to be receiving an NCOER that will allow them to excel for further promotion and assignments. An NCO wants to have the faith that their rater is competent enough to give them a proper rating, good or bad, on their

Toxic leadership as defined by Wilson (2014) “is a combination of self-centered attitudes, motivations, and behaviors that have adverse effects on subordinates, the organization, and mission performance”. NCOs, just as civilians, range from poor leaders to excellent leaders; but when does poor leadership become toxic leadership and what causes this toxic leadership? Not every soldier is born to lead. Some soldiers are bad decision makers, poor time managers, or just unable to inspire confidence in their fellow soldiers. There is nothing wrong with being a follower if you are a competent individual who can perform the given tasks. A NCO who cannot step up and lead is not a toxic leader, they are a bad leader. With education and training NCOs with poor leaderships skills develop into competent leaders.

While these three points are extensively discussed and dissected, it is apparent that the key factor that makes us professionals is the ethical standard that we must hold every individual soldier, from the lowest private to the highest general, to. One of the major points that are missing is what happens when the ethical standard is breeched and how it is dealt with.

The inconsistent application of Army standards leads to unethical decisions on a daily basis. Despite an emphasis on Army values at all levels, military leaders open themselves up to make unethical decisions when they don’t adhere to set standards. Despite the Army having clear standards on height/weight, APFT, the tattoo policy, and reporting requirements, leaders often take it upon themselves to ignore the standard or create their own. Leaders have the responsibility to maintain and enforce standards which are driven by regulations. If military leaders

Reduction in force or RIF is a policy that governs the way employees in public school systems are released due to a loss of funding, shortage of work, reorganization, or outsourcing (“Reduction in Force”, 2011). According to the Shelby County RIF policy, during the RIF process noncovered employees would be released before covered employees are released (“Reduction in Force”, 2011). The Mayor would communicate directly to the Director of Human Resources and an action to implement the RIF procedures will be initiated. The Mayor would include the reason for the RIF and in addition, the date the proceedings will begin. According to the Shelby County RIF policy the plan shall include: A statement of the circumstances requiring the reduction

The U.S. Army Leadership Field Manual clearly states that Army leaders and soldiers alike must uphold ethical standards of behavior in war. It also states that "unethical behavior quickly destroys organizational morale and cohesion it undermines the trust and confidence essential to teamwork and mission accomplishment. Consequently doing the right thing forges strong character in individuals and expands to create a culture of trust

However, when executing the commander’s decision there is no room for dissent absent a clearly illegal or immoral order. In any case, thoughtful leaders understand there will be conflicts among values and are prepared to make the choice for the “harder right” —in battle or in the conference room. The fundamental lesson regarding loyalties is that “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Social psychology is the scientific field that explores the nature and effects of human behaviour in social settings (Fiske, 2014). Social psychologists recognize various factors that lead individuals to behave in a certain way in the presence of others and circumstances under which particular behaviour, feelings, thoughts and beliefs occur. According to Fiske (2004), social psychology field has an indebtedness for the importance of context and the impact of situationism to the field as a whole. Also, the evolution of the field of social psychology has a profounding influence amongst scholars within the field (Farr, 1991). Ebbinghaus differentiated between the long past and the short history of the evolution of social psychology. The short

There is gravity everywhere. It gives the shape for the planet orbit and the orbit of the solar system and even the galaxies. Gravity that comes from the sun get throughout the solar system that keeps the orbit of the planet. The gravity that comes from the earth keeps the moon and human satellites in orbit. Gravity is a force pulling together matter which is basically everything you touch. Forces are in play all around us. Things that is hanging, sitting, balancing, and moving are all using force. Force can come in many different forms and types. Force is a push or pull. It is not something that you touch or see but you can see the force in action. Force can be measured in a device that is called the force meter. If there is an interaction between two object it means that force if found in the two objects. Gravity and Force had affected our lives in different ways one of these ways it improved our ability to

Forces are a push or pull on an object. It can cause an object to start or stop moving, speed up, slow down, change the shape, change the direction or have no affect at all on the object. There are two different types of forces, contact in which an object needs to be touched to affect it this can cause resistance and friction. Non-contact force is when an object doesn’t need to be touched this includes gravity, magnetism and electricity. Forces can be acted upon in any direction and are either balanced being the object is either not in motion or travelling at a constant speed or unbalanced where there is a change in speed this includes stopping, accelerating, starting or slowing down. When all the forces acting upon an object are the same they are said to be balanced. Force is measured in Newton (N) which measures the amount of force it takes to move an object. The calculation for force is: force (N) = mass (m) x acceleration (m/s)².
