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.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 15 at 2014 12:27 AM2014-10-15T00:27:33-04:002014-10-15T00:27:33-04:00SGM Private RallyPoint Member278558<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Apparently there are few leaders out there willing to take the risk of communicating!Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 15 at 2014 7:47 AM2014-10-15T07:47:40-04:002014-10-15T07:47:40-04:00SPC James Mcneil278712<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>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.Response by SPC James Mcneil made Oct 15 at 2014 10:23 AM2014-10-15T10:23:30-04:002014-10-15T10:23:30-04:002014-09-19T14:29:36-04:00
