SPC Foltz As An Effective Leader

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

In 1973, the Army (and the noncommissioned officer corps) was in turmoil. Of the post-Vietnam developments in American military policy, the most influential in shaping the Army was the advent of the Modern Volunteer Army. With the inception of the Noncommissioned Officer Candidate Course, many young sergeants were not the skilled trainers of the past and were only trained to perform a specific job; squad leaders in

Current Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety (DPS), Gary Folger, is the leader who has held the most influence over my life the past 17 years. I have had the privilege to work for or with Gary Folger in some capacity nearly half of my career with DPS. Gary Folger retired as Colonel of the Division of Alaska Wildlife Troopers (AWT) in 2014 but was almost immediately called back to state service to fill the role as Commissioner of DPS. This alone speaks volumes about the leadership ability others much more influential that I see in him. Much more important to this paper though, are the qualities of leadership Gary Folger has displayed repeatedly that made him one of the most respected and highly spoken of commanders in the history of the Alaska Department of Public Safety.

The most relevant leader that I found with a leadership quality that I connected with was Carl Stotz. Furthermore, since I found that his leadership quality was so relevant to the work that I do and what I have done for my community I will share my connection. Although, his quality to make a difference was very significant, what he achieved as a leader was much greater as it was his leadership characteristic of foresight that I believe managed, above all, to be the driving force that managed to change the landscape of baseball. With the invent of a game named Baseball over a century ago founded for adults, in America, Americans really got to enjoy and play Americas number one sport. But for the kids playing ball like the adults, was a whole different story. One day, Carl Stotz was playing catch

Hey Scho. I really appreciate your insight. We have a very diverse class with all different backgrounds and career paths. It’s been good to study and learn from other within the class. I’m sure this question hits home as a CENTCOM expeditionary squadron commander and C-146A pilot.

A good leader is someone who has confidence, a strong personality, and a great sense of trust. I have had many experiences playing in symphonic and chamber orchestras. I feel that a great leader has confidence in his interpretation of the music. If a leader shows the slightest nerve, I would myself as a player begin to be nervous and uncertain with the music. A great leader also needs a very strong personality. I avoid using the term ‘developed’ due to the fact that human beings change over time, and musicians grow over time. A strong personality would be a spirit who feels an emotional connection with the music and attempts to conveys the composers image through the characteristics of his personality, whether they be happy, sad serious,

The Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer states, “No one is more professional than I,” “I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient,” and “All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.” As America transitions from a nation at war to a nation at the ready, it is imperative as noncommissioned officers, that we remember those responsibilities set forth in the creed in which we live by as we forge our next generation of soldiers and leaders. How we forge our future leaders, train our soldiers, and how we develop ourselves as noncommissioned officers is outlined in Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development. From

Great work ! Whether it's been door-to-door, business-to-business or simply going about my daily routine, the results to your survey represent the majority of folk’s sentiments I speak to. Some try and push the notion that if a candidate, or a resident for that matter is willing to put forward the true, accurate details of our inner political process, or issues or what needs to be changed, then they’re simply complaining or not involved. A true leader is one who is willing to put a cause, time and own money, before their social status in order to positively affect the challenges at hand. I’ve done just that Adam Frick. There’s a major difference between complaining, and being transparent. True leadership doesn’t just give you one side on the picture to make you feel safe. They give you both sides, and work with to properly address them head on. We don’t have this type of leadership today.
