What's the Best Leadership Advice You've Received?

You are Outstanding! But you don't stand out!

Sometimes the greatest lessons can be learned from someone who is lower ranked, younger, seems to be less intelligent, or less educated. Self actualization is a myth as we should be always striving to improve on our current self.

Be the leader you would want as your leader.

Be Honest, Be humble, know your people, and never expect anyone to do something you wouldn't do.

Treat your troops as you would like to be treated.

Always be willing to do something that you want someone else to do. Meaning if your not willing to walk a half mile to get fuel for the "genny", then tink twice before you ask someone.

Don't be afraid to fail. Seek out new opportunities and new ways to do things, and always work in a way that is beyond reproach.

"If you don't have time to do it right the first time, where will you find time to do it right the next time?"
MSgt. Claude E. Gray

"Know your personnel, everyone is different and you, not them, need to understand that. A good leader knows and understands his or her personnel."

Don’t tell your Soldiers to do anything you would not do in fact let them see you volunteer for things and put it work and they will not only follow you but respect you
