Hello everyone! Thank you for attending our graduation. We’re all glad you could make it.
“There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.” The words of Franklin D. Roosevelt still ring true today. As the 32nd President of the United States (U.S.), he put these words to action bringing the country out of the Great Depression and onto the road to victory during World War II. He used his formal Harvard education, political and leadership experiences as a solid foundation of his leadership. Added enthusiasm, focus, and determination enabled him to make the U.S. stronger than the day he took his first presidential oath of office. His years of service to America have inspired my growth as a leader and the wish to leave a similar legacy within the U.S. Army.

While others, have had a negative influence. My experience with different leadership styles has taught me what type of leader I strive to be and highlights the impact I have on others as a peer and leader. These experiences helped define me as not only a leader, but as a person. I have been given the privilege of influencing young Soldiers and our future leaders. As a leader I value integrity, hard work, and service.

I feel by attending the Senior Enlisted Leadership Course I have been provided the tools for my tool belt. I am going forward now with the mentality of being strategic instead of operational. I have to be able to paint that picture or the future will look dark in dim to others who look to me guidance. I will become more versed in the ever-changing policies that come out that effect the enlisted corps and be able to articulate the message in layman’s terms to
As a commissioned officer in the United State Military, you must me a leader. There are those who are born leaders, who instinctively step up to the task with a will and desire to aid and assist, and there are those who are chosen to be leaders. As a commissioned officer it is your job to both rise to the occasion in spur of the moment brilliance as well as fulfill your role as the selected role model. As former four-star General Colin Powell said, “Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” Your responsibility as a leader is to constantly have confidence
I am Staff Sergeant XXXX and this essay details my personal leadership philosophy current as of January 18, 2016. I find it necessary to include the date because my leadership philosophy is alive, it adapts and changes as new experiences enrich my life.
