Do you share a leadership vision? Do you risk communication? The verb = risk.

This is an excellent question. Any time a person communicates a vision, whether his or someone else's, a risk is taken. The risk is worth it, but that risk is still there.

SGM, great question and thread. Yes, I knew what my commanders' visions were. I believe the best way to communicate it is to first read and understand it as well as ask questions for clarity from the CO, taking notes as you go along. Once done, sit down and figure out courses of actions and goals for your own section. Then sit down with your subordinates to brief them and talk about the tasks required of the shop to accomplish.

Apparently there are few leaders out there willing to take the risk of communicating!
