Now, I saw that as an Army Infantryman, but that&#39;s just semantics. Businesses can learn about some of the most effective forms of leadership from the military. My top three choices:<br /><br />Leadership under duress -- a trait honed by service members on deployment and in training environments. <br /><br />Servant leadership -- veterans choose to make the sacrifice to serve their country and belong to something more than themselves. <br /><br />Change leadership -- you have to be flexible in the military; things happen and you have to follow orders; being able to articulate change and lead others through it is a requirement in the military and a skill to anyone in the business world.

You learn what work, teamwork , pride and a sense of accomplishment are very day. You learn that there are many mental challenges that you have to overcome in being a Marine. All of these traits and learned lessons you can carry for the rest of you life. whether it is in your work place as an owner, management or even just a worker. It also carries into your personal life in being a better person, husband, wife and parent.

The Marines stress teamwork which makes them an effective force capable of overcoming all challenges to complete the mission. Discipline, pride, and being goal focused are all qualities that would benefit any company.

How cool is RP that we SMs can congregate and share. <br /><br />I’ll toss this in: Communication. We in the military learn that every chain of command involves communication up and down in direction. We learn that communication is an integral part of leadership. Were taught from day one that we must be able to “shoot move and communicate.” This our ability to communicate verbally and in writing is honed. Also, if you’re in any branch of the military you’re going to need to get over your fear of public speaking if you want to stand in front of a group of SMs and lead.
