3 Worst Leadership Styles

You forgot the "leader" that constantly yells, screams, demeans and cusses. After about two minutes of that the subordinate has mentally checked out. Poor leadership is one of the biggest reasons good Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines do not reenlist.

[@troy3456789]

The best typically reenlist because they know and understand the impermanence of supervisors and leaders, just as we were informed in basic training. Impatient, snowflake enlisteds that forget that, want everything perfect now and forever, and typically desire more recognition than they deserve as well. They fake injuries and illnesses more often too. They are interested in numero uno only, cutting corners, lacking in transparency or openness and join cliques (women are the worst about creating and joining complaint cliques). Put two women in a unit and they'll gravitate to each other for whining and rumoring. If your unit is half or more women, they become catty and start going for each other's throats. You may get a woman who has been appointed to be in charge of a project, because leadership thinks she's hot, and she needs bullets in her performance report; or else they will lie about her involvement and inflate her influence and direct action in a project or mission. This has been going on for decades. Female enlisteds operate at a totally different bar of performance. We expect less, so we get less, and we're happy to promote them. In active duty, chances are good that if you are good, you'll become a leader at some point, even if it is temporary or as a test, or simply put in charge of completing a particular project (short term or long term project or mission), and you'll also screw it up until you learn by experience what motivates others learning as you go, or you'll not change to suit the feedback you are getting or refusing to hear. The best are patient and not so reactive to minor discomforts of following a new leader. The best enlisteds fight for feedback from subordinates and superiors, and spend more time listening and responding than talking. This goes for both followers and leaders.

When I attended IOBC, there was a senior instructor at formerly Benning who was a SFC who really carried himself well, really knew his stuff, and was an outstanding teacher. He was truly a role model to us young 2LTs learning how to be infantry ossifers. Later learned he had been a major who got passed over twice thanks to the Army’s promotion system and was afforded the courtesy of finishing out his 20 as an E7. He made an impact on all his students. It’s been like 35 years and I can’t remember his name.

[@slappy8941]

I would like to mention the micro-manager and the detached elitist: the former kills initiative and subverts the development of leadership abilities among subordinates by making them afraid to make a move without his specific input, and the latter provides little to no guidance, leaving everyone uncoordinated unsure of their part in the mission, and unable to prepare and coordinate.

[@SocialistDistancing]

I worked with an individual that when they were in a leadership position, always had to walk away and check with his superior before going ahead. It seriously bogged us down and impeded the team efforts. He finally self selected out. Nice guy, but afraid to make a decision on his own.

[@Grotech.]

@@SocialistDistancing Too many infantry units breed this type of leader. In some instances that I've personally witnessed, guys up to SSG weren't even able to operate autonomously without a go from PSG/LT/1SG permission, even for simple shit like "Hey we just finished all go-home tasks, i'm going to take my guys out and practice BD6". It was a 50/50 chance if they were actually able to go train or not, and if the leadership decided no, they sat in the Cof with their thumbs up their ass until COB because that's all they were allowed to do

[@nunyabidness3075]

[@Willy_Tepes]

I dislike the leader that "confides" in you about the faults of other comrades or fellow leaders. I can be 100% sure that he also does this to me behind my back.

[@shitwardtesticles4840]

There is a level of acceptable confidence in your suboordinates. Every leader should have a level of personal understanding with their suboordinates, but there are limitations. A leader who can pick out the faults in his comrades and superiors will hopefully learn from their mistakes and faults to fix their own. However, gossiping about them is a flaw in and of itself, and may undermine team trust within the organization. Confidence is not all bad, but it needs to have its boundaries.

[@themarkgreene]

The narrator and host of this channel was one of the best leaders I’ve ever served with and even though we’re both retired, I’d still follow him anywhere.

[@lzuhn8567]

As a leader, it should be known that your subordinates will always have an opinion of you. If you stay in a nice warm tent while your section is freezing at 3am in a trench, they might start to hold some negative opinions. But if your that leader who’s willing to put in some work and lead by example your troops will do anything for you.

[@colefifield2884]

I had a guy like this in the fire academy. He literally was one of the smartest cadets in the class and happened to have gone through another academy prior so he thought his shit didn’t stink. He talked down to everyone and barked orders all the time. No one liked him and he almost got kicked out. Some of the people who feel they need to lead are usually the super insecure people who haven’t properly been put in place.

[@Sealoblu]

Even using phrases such as “lower enlisted” can show so much about who you are as a person and a leader. you may not even realize the impact it can have on other service members. Imagine other actions we do every day as leaders that makes us look bad. The army was the place that showed me that words truly matter

[@Angstbringer18B]

Nobody I ever worked with had an issue with “lower” enlisted as a term. It’s about people being selectively sensitive about stupid shit now. Same with dog tags and everything else. 1 is a low number on a scale of 1 to 9. E-1 lower than an E-2. Therefore, they are lower enlisted. Nobody is trying to say they’re lower as a person or shit and if that’s all they can see, they need to open their eyes or get the fuck out.

[@captainjam6651]

I really appreciate you making this video. In my time as a leader for different things, I had made several of the mistakes you listed. I wrote verbose emails, I repeated myself so often that it annoyed my subordinates, and I had trouble seeing the fault in what I was doing. Making long winded and verbose speeches to say simple things and to repeat it constantly only detracts people from what you are saying. Part of being an effective communicator, as all leaders should be, is getting engagement from your audience. If you aren't engaging your audience then you are failing regardless of how flawlessly you hit a 4k word mark on your document. And the biggest hurdle for me was overcoming that idea of my infallibility through word-count, when instead I should be almost exclusively focusing on getting the message across instead. Of course old habits die hard, and this comment is evidence of that. Thank you, sir.

I have worked for bad leaders in the Civilian arena done all four idiotic no-leadership concepts you mentioned. Things never went well, and I got out as soon as I could. I once mentioned that a great leader should 'Lead from the Front' to one of the really bad ones I worked for, and he was legitimately confused by the look on his face. A couple of days later he said I would be promoted to the next level if I "went along more with his {poor} decisions." Neither of those things happened, hence my next job started a month or so later. A former U.S. Air Force Academy cadet here, who could not reach the new 'minimum' Grade-Point average raised up right after the Vietnam War official ended for the United States. I worked hard to be accepted in 1974, and even with that I have remained one 48 years later.

[@PE4Doers]

By the way, I was one of 1630 young men, with an additional 22 who would not sign the commitment paperwork and were therefore not counted (which really 'irked' me seeing them standing on the side since they used spots others would have liked), entering the Air Force Academy as cadets in 1974, and only 981 graduated in 1978. The rumor at my dismissal was the the DOD had limited all future academies to 999 graduates each year - so I guess that rumor was true at the time.

I remember as a 2LT I had a problem sergeant. In his defense, all our sergeants had gotten burned by bad planning at the Pentagon level and knew they were all pretty much doomed to never making E7. This did not help their attitudes. One day this sergeant finally got to me, and I called him in my office to give him a chance to explain and ended up yelling at him and reminding him who was who. I knew I had failed even though he really had it coming. He really missed a chance. Whenever you really want to get one over on the boss, all you have to do is take responsibility, explain how and why you should have done better, and say there really isn’t an excuse. They teach this in the military, yet most just don’t learn. It’s like punching your boss in the nose and they aren’t allowed to punch back! One time I did that to my real dirt bag commander. He dismissed me, called his XO into his office, and chewed him out!😂🤣😂 XO couldn’t even be mad at me. 🤣😂🤣

I agree about not leading by rank, however there are situations where a more authoritarian management style will be necessary. This is especially true if the people assigned to you do not want to be there, and do not want to work. I remember one of the worst assignments on the worst shift was sent to the worst employees. Being a line supervisor on that line was a real joy(sarcasm). Sadly may find yourself in charge of people that will only appreciate someone that either lets them do what they want and "respect" someone that makes them fear the consequences of non-compliance. There are often details and assignments where screw ups are assigned. In some jobs there is usually a shift and assignment where all of the undesirable employees get moved. Being a leader in these situations requires a more authoritarian approach if you don't want them to walk all over you. These assignments require ask, tell, make. Often times every order, suggestion, or thing that you say will become an argument, because they seek to test the fence and see what they can get away with. In these situations, instead of endlessly discussing "why" the orders are they are, you may find it is far simpler to remind them exactly where they are on the pecking order, what your rank is, what their rank is, and what their consequences will be for non-compliance. Whenever I get assigned to lead or train someone in a detail that wants to be there, I rarely if ever need to mention rank. Usually I never get past ask, and occasionally tell. Most of the conversation is informal and pleasant, and most of the leading is by example. When I find myself routinely having to go all the way to make, then I know I need to start reminding people of the pecking order. In these situations managers need to start making examples and holding people accountable. They need to experience consequences to get their act together. No more arguing, no more discussion, they do what they are told when they are told or they will be held accountable. No more opinions about the management, supervisors are in charge, period. If they are that kind of employee and quit that won't be a loss, if they get their act together, then they might be salvageable.

Perhaps this has to do with the second category, when von Steuben started drilling Americans he noted "In Prussia I tell someone to do something he does it, but here I'm obliged to tell someone why they must do it." The next example has to do with George Orwell in his essay on "Politics and the English Language." In this essay he gives examples of writings from political leaders (many Marxists) and academics and what they wrote is confusing. He outlines his rules which maintains you got to keep things simple when you write, and I think he'd agree on getting rid of the platitudes and slogans. Moreover, in the SOE manual it suggests for propaganda don't think of an academic writing down to a fisherman, think like a fisherman writing up.
