Soldiers. They are the reason we should all want to be Leaders. You are directly influencing their career, their lives and the mission at hand. They motivate me everyday to want to be the best Leader I can be. The reason I choose to follow someone is because of how they conduct themselves, how they feel about the Army, and how they treat Soldiers. When someone whole heartedly believes in what you are doing you feed off of that and want to follow them and gain knowledge through them.

SFC (Join to see), You could not have better reasons for wanting to lead; if you tried.
I remember exactly who influenced me in the Army. (Both good and bad leaders.)
And I love your reasons for wanting to follow.
CONGRATULATIONS, Sergeant (P)!

I like to lead because I want to be the best, I want everyone around me to be the best. I want everyone on my team to feel as family, to care about and help each other to be successful.

My motivation as always been to help people and do the best I could given the job at hand. When asked... I lead... when a leader was needed... I stepped up... whe the leader needed support/guidance... a strong right hand... I did that for them! The first lessen i had to learn as a PFC about leadership was simply/difficult... SSG Pretlow said, "Junior.... leading aint about you...." he pointed to the PVTs just getting to the unit "its about taking care of them!"
