My experiences might be a little different from those outside strategic units, but we still have the same challenges in leadership. I experienced a big change in regards to Leadership, NCO’s would be looked at with respect and someone with wealth of knowledge. Leaders, knew that it was more about their Soldiers and less about themselves. When I came in I was in the Intel community and always wanted to be an NCO so I can have an impact.

The new method just makes the leader be more creative so they can have an impact on the Soldiers. As NCO’s we need to take time to listen and don’t make decisions based on emotions. Soldiers will respect you more and if you take care of them, they will take care of …show more content…

McLean (May 2012) wrote a monograph about leadership and stated the “Army is in state of transition after 10 years of war, and history has shown leadership lessons can be lost during a transition period.

MAJ McLean strongly believe that leaders today have a great responsibility to revise the new leadership doctrine in preparation for future was but also use the example which have been proven success in the past. I agree with MAJ McLean we as leaders need to have an input in what future leaders need to look and

The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team Without knowledgeable and qualified leaders at every level of civilian or military organization people will work in an unhealthy environment and their output and performance will suffer. Management or leadership lacking in leadership qualities will effect organizational culture and climate in a negative way, to the point that it will make the unit organization incapable of accomplishing the assigned mission. After a series of tragic events that occurred within the 4th ABCT during their last deployment in Afghanistan, I have no doubt in my mind that commanding them is going to be challenging.

Among these five characteristics; military expertise, honorable service, trust, esprit de corps, and stewardship of the profession, I believe that military expertise and stewardship of the profession are the two characteristics that make a leader excel in the presence of their peers. ADRP 1 defines military expertise as, “Military expertise is the design, generation, support, and ethical application of land power, primarily in unified land operations, and all supporting capabilities essential to accomplish the mission in defense of the American people”.
