If you were to look at yourself closely and determine your greatest characteristics as a leader what would you want them to be?

Choose as many as you feel you need and explain why they are important to you.

I look at leadership as a characteristic, not a title. A leader possesses all of these traits and then some. And to me, all of these characteristics are the foundation of a true leader.
Without a solid foundation, your ability to lead won't be what it could be.

The ability to not freak out about subordinate failures. Drive yourself harder than you do any of your subordinates creating a personal-vector force so that they feel compelled to give you their best.

I selected "values" because I think that encapsulates the other choices.

All of the Army values rest on integrity. If it's morally, ethically, and legally correct within the commander's guidance and intent, then you're using disciplined initiative to accomplish the mission.
