10 Principles of Military LEADERSHIP

you know he's a real deal green beret because his main objective is to teach and educate people, keep up the good work colonel

[@KemonyHunter-qx3ec]

Yh it is great 😎

[@robertviragh6527]

I watched the whole video. Where did he claim to be green beret? Also how could you identify he is a "colonel"? I found the parallels between civilian and military life to showed in the video to be very useful, so I agree that it teaches and educates, but I wonder where you got the information you added to it.

[@silverlance100]

@@robertviragh6527 to my memory i believe in a previous or latter video he comments on retiring a lieutenant colonel , also Many of his videos are heavy info specific on the organisation of u.s special operations, he made video's on the difficultly of the sfas- special forces q course(green beret training) ,ranger school and cdqc all of which he attended and is a graduate of ,thank you for asking

one of the best compliments: approached by an E8 who thanked me for teaching patrolling when he was a PVT about a dozen years earlier. Seems he and his co-hart buddy were impressed enough to go on to RGR school and many deployments with RGR Bats. I'd send all the sergeants home early evening from a field training night and have the troops all to myself. Really enjoyed training/teaching and appears was impactful. As positive as that moment seemed to be, had a reality check in that I hoped I had never effected a troop in a negative way. Four years in two different commands, never had to give an Art 15. I'm proud of that.

We use the "back brief" in the Fire Service as well and it is very effective. Truth be told we most like got the idea from the Military. Many of our policies, procedures, hardware, and operations have their origins in the Military. I was very fortunate, I live in Virginia Beach, VA and we are pretty much surrounded by Military (mostly Navy, but the Marines, Air Force and Army do have some units here) and work, train, and plan with them for many contingencies that will force us to support each other. My experience has been the Military bending over backwards to ensure things work.

[@robertviragh6527]

Thank you for your service. Wildfires have flared up frequently in recent years so in some ways it must be just as dangerous as any military branch depending on its deployment. Thank you for your service protecting homes in Virginia Beach.

[@rickkephartactual7706]

@@robertviragh6527 Thank you. Those wild land fires are indeed very dangerous. Too many firefighters have been lost to them. Unless you have fought wild land fires you probably don't realize just how fast they can move and trap you, it has happened too often. There are a lot of lives, property, and equipment that are lost to wild land fires every year. That and the financial cost is staggering. One thing I do need to make clear, my knowledge about wild land fires is only what I have gotten from books and educational courses I have taken. I do not have any real wild land fire experience. I have been involved in controlling "brush fires" in our area but they just a flicker of flame compared to the fires out west. Take care.

[@anim8torfiddler871]

Excellent series. Some of us - maybe those of us who had a parent who served long enough to absorb some of these principles - picked up on some of the ideas, without realizing it was military doctrine. Hearing these explicitly enumerated and explained, these ideas are about the best I've ever heard for anyone who wants to excel at the skills or crafts that inspire them.

It's been 4 years, so not sure if you would see my comment, but in your comment you said you want to become an officer. I'm not sure if you ended up going to officer school, but have you been able to apply any of the lessons that you learned from leadership videos, and how did it affect your life?

[@lt.ocelot]

@@robertviragh6527 Yep I see your comment. My goals changed a little bit, as now I'm working towards getting into law enforcement as an ""enlisted"" and ideally in a counter terrorism unit, but first I'm gonna go to university and get a degree to maximize my chances of getting in. I realized that I am much better at taking orders and following them rather than leading myself, however these videos helped in the occurrences in which I did have to lead, and they greatly increased my knowledge of the military world. From this channel I've learned most from the more day to day life advice focused videos: the reset challenge, how to sleep and eat for spec ops, the workout challenges. They help me set goals that make these big changes in aspects of my life that I messed up as a kid and teenager and deal with the consequences of that.

I try to lead my colleagues at work, but different workplaces have different philosophies and problems. Some teams doesn't accept my orders while other actively seek my guidance. If you have responsibility but not the power to force people to do the right thing (in civil life) you can't lead.

[@petrolmonkey8339]

There are 3 pillars on a well-oiled organization: 1) Cultural Coherence - everyone should have some mechanism to talk in common ground 2) Authority - there should be a well established hierarchy (we come back to this in a bit) 3) Credibility - respect is established by expertise or competence Now on civilian organizations Authority is not apparent by ranks, but (3) Credibility establishes Authority. One need not to be an expert in every field either, but an expert is respected by other experts.

[@darthhodges]

I can tell you that SOPs can be awesome but they can also be done wrong. My last job was at Toys R Us and almost every store function had multiple SOPs. When they were properly written and cross referenced following them always improved our store performance. However, many were not properly updated or referenced documents or contacts that didn't exist so it was impossible to actually follow it. Like every tool good ones will help, but bad ones can make things worse.

[@jacobbates5741]

Excellent content. Would you be willing to make a video on Chaplains, and assisant chaplains throughout the branches. I cant seem to find experince based information on these postions. Thanks

[@jeffk6941]

I believe these principles should be followed. Unfortunately, things like SOP'S get in the way of quotas or closing sales. They also take time to accomplish. Once the work force is whittled down to a skeleton crew, workers find themselves doing multiple jobs in the same expected time frame. Thus, corners get cut. Training takes employees out of a productivity position, as well as costs the company money. None of these things will help met the next quarters expectations. The military believes in being ready for the future. Business leaders rarely stay in the same company or position more than a couple of years. Longevity of any one company is not in their future plans.

[@julonkrutor4649]

One thing you forgot: Leaders take care of there people! If a subordinant has a problem - even a privat one - and the leader can help, he dose. For Example: If he has to get his kids from kindergarten at a certain time - the leader makes sure there are no meetings that can run late so the person can be there. If a grandfather is sick he organizes the vaccation for the employe and offers it with them haveing to ask. if the company is in a bit of hot water and one has to leave early because of a famaly thing - he makes that possible. Good leaders are rewarded with loyalty. For example, if there is a big project that has to be done soon, the people will stay longer without complaining - after it is explained why. I saw that once in a company, where the entire company (it was a small one) stayed tow weekends and worked 14h a day to finish something without complaining. "Hell, the boss did so much for us. He helped me [inserte reason] and he is allways honest and as fair as he can be - why wouldn´t i help him out now?" A quote i heared more then once there. Meanwhile, the boss worked alongeside his people, organized foot and drinks free of charge and payed everyone not only overtime but a bonus for "being the awsome team that they are!". The boss explained to me after i asked "I make more money in the long run with good people. And to have good people, you have to treat them well. If you treat them well, you have good people. Its that easy!" ... I loved working there, but i would not go back - not my kind of work. I still get an invite to the chrismas party ^^

I have a question, sir! My brain is a micromanaging machine. How does that get in the way of someone who is trying to be the best SOF/SF candidate that they can, so that they may be selected? I don't fully understand how that might jeopardize the mission or leadership capacity so I would appreciate some feedback. I can come up with two reasons - maybe it will waste time and be hard to digest all at once for my theoretical team, which has happened before in work scenarios. I think that I've become efficient at giving lots of information at a short span of time, but people are often overwhelmed by it. Maybe I'm micromanaging myself right now and overthinking the situation- that's another reason lol!
