I see it like this - you can always better your competence - you can always learn, train, study, listen. But changing your character is almost impossible. A leader with character but without competence is like an unpolished, rough gem; a leader with competence but without character is like a very nicely molded and sculptured piece of shit. In a very hiperbolic analogy.

I love how the truly great military leaders, were deeply loved by those they led. These men and women leaders, inspired the loyalty and trust of those in their command. You see this this a lot in BUDS. Those soldiers are trained past the point most could endure. Beaten up, truly sleep deprived and “dead on their feet”, they STILL follow their leaders’ orders, because they trust their leaders and each other with their lives. They believe their leaders would never even think about doing something that would betray their trust. I never served, this is just my perception based on what I have seen on tv and understand about the Special Forces community.

I agree with everything this guy said, not that I'm an expert, but you know. The part about character is true. While competence is commonly expected to be most important, as it theoretically determines success in combat and not character, the problem is, without character, you can't have proper and thorough subordination. Without it, no amount of genius ideas and skills can be realized through orders. And even if people did obey, without morale, no one will carry out a task to completion. Better to suffer greater losses but win through determination caused by morale from respected leaders than to suffer less casualties but not even be able to go into a fight in the first place, let alone win. I kinda "knew" this at back of my head, but it never hit me till I watched this video, that gave me food for thought. You learn something every day.

ROTC taught me these things: 1. always seek responsibility for your mistakes even if the mistake wasn't significant. 2. always be considering anything you did wrong and how you can do it better next time. 3. JJ DID TIE BUCKLE (justice, judgement, decisiveness, integrity, determination, tact, initiative, enthusiasm, bearing, unselfishness, courage, knowledge, loyalty, endurance). I would say the most important traits of that set are enthusiasm, knowledge, courage, and justice. enthusiasm is a good trait to have because it shows everybody that you want to get the job done. would you be confident in a surgeon if he was acting irritated that he had to operate on you?

I used to be a substitute teacher for a few years. When I made my first steps in the institution, I discovered that many teachers are here more for "the security" their status provides them than for an actual love or vocation in their work. The situation is even worse when you lokk at principals and directors : most of them have been teachers, but "droped the sponge" as we say in french, and became principals, officialy to "serve the cause, in a different way", but are mostly on duty everyday, pryong that nothing bad happen, and hoping their 4-5 years in their courant school will pass without great perils and problems... All of that lead to incompetence, "cowardice", and a dreadfull habit to "hide" the problems or dealing with it by negociations, in order to avoid problems. Or blame the fellow under you and fire him. I worked inside the institution for a few years, then I quited, and joined a private group which gives courses, formations and stuff. THERE, I saw confidence, capability and mutual respect. It's a sad thing that in many way, the public had lost something, and that only the private has it...

Learn what to do from the good leadership and what not to do from the bad. Good leaders can inspire others but they have to want to be inspired.

Mini Rant: Confidence vs arrogance is a tough line to walk. My friend and I BASE jump for fun. During training I heard someone say that you have to have just a little ego, a little arrogance, to achieve the confidence to do extraordinary things whether it's storm a room with hostages or fly a few feet above the ground at 160. As without said confidence you would be crippled by uncertainty and hesitate at the worst moments. There just seems to be an innate contradiction. As you get better, your confidence grows as you take on and complete bigger and bigger challenges. How does one not become arrogant or prone to hubris as they excel?

"Civilians have no standards" - there are standards in the world. Trade Guys all have have codes, Police/Fireman/Medical professionals. At work there are likely standards to measure a successful job. What is lacking is a personal code. I would never lie to anyone, be late, curse, fumble responsibility or trust. I realize now more than ever how blessed being surrounded by professionals allowed me bliss as a military leader.

Just take care of your body. Its something i would change if i could go back. I ate like shit but i didnt care because i was so physically fit. Eating right while having that young metabolism and energy it'll put you so far ahead of the curve. Its also Another way to discipline yourself and practice having that warrior mindset. Food is just fuel for your body so that it can do the things that need to get done.
