Values and Attributes

LEVELS OF LEADERSHIP -THREE LEVELSDIRECT LEADERSHIP- Direct leadership is face-toface, first-line leadership. It takes place in those organizations where subordinates are used to seeing their leaders all the time: teams and aquads, sections and platoons, companies, batteries and troops-even squadrons and battalions. ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP- Organizational leaders influence several hundred to several thousand people. They do this indirectly, generally through more levels of subordinates than do direct leaders. STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP- Strategic leaders include military and DA civilian leaders at the major command through Department of Defense levels. Strategic leaders are responsible for large organizations and influence several thousand to hundreds of thousands of people.

LOYALTY DUTY RESPECT SELFLESS SERVICE HONOR INTEGRITY PERSONAL COURAGE

6

LOYALTY
Bear true faith and allegiance to the US Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers.
Loyalty is the big thing, the greatest battle asset of all. But no man ever wins the loyalty of troops by preaching loyalty. It is given to him as he proves his possession of the other virtues.
Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall Men Against Fire

DUTY
Fulfill your obligations.
The essence of duty is acting in the absence of orders or direction from others, based on an inner sense of what is morally and professionally right.

General John A. Wickham Jr. FormerArmy Chief of Staff

RESPECT
Treat people as they should be treated.
The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instruction and to give commands in such manner and such a tone of voice to inspire in the soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire Major General John M. Schofield to disobey. Part of an address to the United States Corps of Cadets
11 August 1879

SELFLESS SERVICE
Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and subordinates before your own.
The nation today needs men who think in terms of service to their country and not in terms of their countrys debt to them
General of the Army Omar N. Bradley

10

HONOR
Live up to all the Army values.

What is life without honor? Degradation is worse than death.

Lieutenant General Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson

11

INTEGRITY
Do whats right-legally and morally.
The American people rightly look to their military leaders not to be skilled in the technical aspects of the profession of arms, but also to be men of integrity.
General J. Lawton Collins Former Army Chief of Staff

12

PERSONAL COURAGE
Face fear, danger, or adversity
The concept of professional courage does not always mean being as tough as nails either. It also suggests a willingness to listen to the soldiers problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation, and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when hes wrong.
Former Sergeant Major of the Army William Connelly

23

LEADERSHIP STYLES DEFINED

DIRECTING-THIS STYLE IS LEADER CENTERED. LEADERS USING THIS STYLE DONT SOLICIT INPUT FROM SUBORDINATES AND GIVE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW, WHEN, AND WHERE THEY WANT A TASK PERFORMED. PARTICIPATING-THIS STYLE CENTERS ON BOTH THE LEADER AND THE TEAM. GIVEN A MISSION, LEADERS ASK SUBORDINATES FOR INPUT, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS BUT MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO THEMSELVES. THIS STYLE IS ESPECIALLY APPROPRIATE FOR LEADERS WHO HAVE THE TIME FOR SUCH CONSULTATION OR WHO ARE DEALING WITH EXPERIENCED SUBORDINATES.
24

LEADERSHIP STYLES CONTINUED

DELEGATING-INVOLVES GIVING SUBORDINATES THE AUTHORITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT CLEARING THEM THROUGH THE LEADER. LEADERS WITH MATURE AND EXPERIENCED SUBORDINATES OR WHO WANT TO CREATE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR SUBORDINATES OFTEN NEED ONLY TO GIVE THEM THE AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS, THE NECESSARY RESOURCES, AND A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MISSIONS PURPOSE. AS ALWAYS THE LEADER IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT DOES OR DOES NOT HAPPEN, BUT IN DELEGATING LEADERSHIP STYLE, THE LEADER HOLDS THE SUBORDINATE LEADERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.

25

LEADERSHIP STYLES CONTINUED

TRANSFORMATIONAL-ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF EXPERIENCED SUBORDINATES WHO MAY HAVE BETTER IDEAS ON HOW TO ACCOMPLISH A MISSION. TRANSACTIONAL-MOTIVATING SUBORDINATES TO WORK BY OFFERING REWARDS OR THREATENING PUNISHMENT. PRESCRIBES TASK ASSIGNMENTS IN WRITING. OUTLINING ALL THE CONDITIONS, THE APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS, THE BENEFITS OF SUCCESS, AND THE CONSEQUENCES-TO INCLUDE POSSIBLE DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS-OF FAILURE. MANAGEMENT-BY-EXCEPTION, WHERE LEADERS FOCUS ON THEIR SUBORDINATES FAILURES SHOWING UP ONLY WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
26

LEADERSHIP CONSEQUENCES
(TWO TYPES)

INTENDED CONSEQUENCES- ARE ANTICIPATED RESULTS OF A LEADERS DECISIONS AND ACTIONS.

UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES- ARE THE RESULTS OF THINGS A LEADER DOES THAT HAVE AN UNPLANNED IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION OR ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE MISSION.
