How does your Commander's performance on their PT test influence your opinion of them?

My thought, it is a "lead by example" thing.

As an NCO, I really don’t care as long as the commander holds himself to the standard that the 1SG and himself hold everyone else to. If there’s a “unit standard”, I expect command to uphold their own standard. Expecting your soldiers to do better than you is not how you lead from the front.

FDR had Polio and spent a good chunk of his life in a Wheel Chair. He would not have been a good fighter would he? Do we think anyless of him as a man? He led us through the worst economic situation the world has ever seen, and the largest world war. I could care less what my commander scores. Are they a leader, do they quit, can they get the job done? General Stormin Norman Schwarzkopf had a barrel Chest, does any think he scored a hundred points on this run? Male female, or one of the other so called 64 classifications of human beings (don't get me started on that one) I give a damn about that. If you can lead us like Patton or Alexander the Great I don't care what you PT score is.

He/She should get an above average score to set the example.

All should be held to the same standard regardless of rank!

Several of my CO's could beat me, keep up the good work, Sir.

If I’m given a standard I have to hit and my leadership can’t hit that standard that is hypocrisy and I will think less of them. If they can’t even pass a pt test, all respect is lost

To me, that come under the "lead by exmple" rule. Not every one is evn capable of 100%. But pushing your own max effort shows.

Lt dragged ass

if thay do not do the best it dose not make me want to
