By following Wheeler’s example, a leader must do the utmost to accomplish maximum results with available resources.

As you read this paper, my goal is to give you a clear understanding of my philosophy leadership. I will talk about what I expect from my Soldiers, what can be expected of me, and things that are most important to me as a leader. Things like having good communication and listening skills, developing young leaders, and being able to adapt to different situations. I learned very early in my military career that there are many different types of leadership styles and none are the same, similar but not the same. As a young noncommissioned officer, I began taking good and bad leadership traits to start forming my own style of leadership.
The many unlimited attempts at pushing bad leadership under the mat has left our military in an unbelievable crisis that affects us all in some way. It’s vitally important that we as leaders start looking from beyond our direct foxhole to fix the leadership problems within our ranks. The Creed of noncommissioned Officers and leadership.

My personal leadership philosophy is more compassionate than I realized. As shown in Exercise one, which analyzes if you focus more on being power-oriented, achievement-oriented, and concerned with human welfare. My scores for that exercise came out to be: Column One- 18, Column Two- 29, and Column Three- 25. This means I have a strong concern for human welfare than being power-oriented and achievement-oriented, but I am more achievement-oriented than power-oriented. This was interesting as I always thought I was power-oriented because I like to be in charge and not bossed around.
Through the past 11 years that I have been an enlisted Soldier, I have seen the value of leadership and the effect good and poor leadership can have on Soldiers and
Over my twenty-year career, the core aspects of my leadership philosophy have been constant while other parts evolved with me, as I changed jobs and responsibilities and while I matured and gained new perspectives. Mahatma Gandhi said it best, “You have to be the change that you want to see in the world.” In keeping with the military’s practice of conducting after action reviews after military exercises, I hope my written leadership philosophy will become a contract to keep me in check and ensure I “walked the talk.”
1. My philosophy of leadership is about collaboration and teamwork. Respecting and treating everyone the same, is key to supporting a good team atmosphere. I believe when a leader puts effort and care into assisting others, then their peers and followers will naturally want to support them. It is also important for a leader to recognize, that advocacy must never become so important that the critical elements of leadership are neglected (e.g. policy enforcement, command support, etc...).

In this research paper, I will cover the importance of being proficient on applying critical and creative thinking process. Moreover, I will provide assertive examples using Major General (MG) David Petraeus’s critical thinking and problem solving process experiences during the invasion of Mosul, Iraq. The Mosul’s invasion was full of suitable and deprived decisions.
(Regan) Having empathy and understanding is very important to have effective teamwork and leadership. Another advantage of using critical thinking is gaining enhanced communication. Critical thinking teaches you to analyze and build your evidence for any given premise, which ends up making you a more effective communicator. When communicating a proposal or idea proficiently, you need to have consistent and relevant points to support your theory.
Critical thinking plays a large role in determining success. To be able to analyze a situation and further understand it, I must define the content and evaluate it. By first defining the content, I provide myself with a general understanding of what I am learning. Once I have defined whatever data it may be, evaluating it gives me the opportunity to go in depth and learn more. This is a key component to success because I expand my knowledge as well as give others the opportunity to share theirs.
