CSM a leader should always be a buffer between the ranks and the GOOD IDEA Fairy leadership from above which also included Toxic and incompetent leaders. Very good article I only wish the Majority would follow this wise guidance. I leaned for some great leaders who inspired me to become the nutcase I am today. A true test is if even those that hated you in the ranks also respected you for being consistent and honest with them.

CSM William DeWolf Great article on leadership. Thank you for sharing.
