Advising my boss on what should be done, especially when I thought or knew he was going down the wrong path. I've had to train many bosses over the years; and
Ensuring that there was someone qualified to take my place.

It's right in the Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer:
1) Accomplish the mission.
2) Take care of your Soldiers.

SGM (Join to see), I would vote you up again; if I could.
You have a lot on your plate; and yet you perform your duties- it sounds like to me -with ease and grace. I love the way you do your job. You go WAY ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty.
CONGRATULATIONS, SIR!

The most important responsibility is truely taking care of Soldier's. You are in the right place now use your time building your leadership tool kit by looking at those NCO's you admire and whey you admire them and take things from them that you can use to start your leadership foundation. It's easier said then done when we say "I Take Care of Soldier's" It's always seeing how you can give them information on whta's going on as well as giving direction to them on what your expectation is so that they know the boundries to accomplish the task/mission. Communicating and over communicating will be a skill you need to learn and know. Also learning how your peers communicate so you can be more effective when trying to motivate, or build unity and team work. I hope this helps that is a great question?

Thank you for saying so; SSG (Join to see). I think that you are right on the money; when you say that taking care of Soldiers is the main responsibility of a military leader. And I am sure that it is a LOT easier said than done.
Good for you, Staff Sergeant, for both following and leading.
I am very proud to be on this Rally Point team; along with you.
