One of the things officers should do is read and discuss leadership theories and how to use them. This applies to those who want to be senior NCOs as well

A corollary to this was what my first Brigade CSM told me when I new 2LT "...if you have to tell someone that you are an Officer - you're not..." CSM Donald M Biggin, Jr. was awarded the DSC in the 11th ACR in Vietnam. He often told me, after he kicked my young butt in Racquetball, that a leader took care of his people and put the mission and his men's welfare above his personal needs and opinions. You either lead or follow, you either earn respect or you don't. You can order people around as an Officer. But, you will only be able to truly lead only by EARNING respect.
