So what has been your biggest leadership challenge to this point? How have you been able to overcome it?

Keeping morale up in the last days of Iraq new dawn or what ever they changed it to. had a joint unit AF and Army, active and reserves. had sour balls in the mix on the other side of my shop and made all the lowers upset.
just kept plugging away with trying to tell funny jokes and interact with everyone to keep their individual morale up.

Getting used to the fact that I am usually among the 10% at most in any unit that actually cares... It's been a constant source of disappointment. I'm just naive enough to keep hoping for the best, and just observant enough to realize I'm an idiot for doing so...
