view this document on scribd _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the united states army leadership doctrine through the u s army leadership field manual fm 6 22 establishes the framework of leadership for all soldiers it discusses how army values form the basis of character the values of loyalty duty respect selfless service honor integrity and personal courage build the foundation of an army officer and are most of the virtues that make up any officer in the military there are two reasons why leadership is important to someone in the united states army the first was expressed eloquently by general of the army douglas macarthur in a 1962 speech y our mission is to win our wars y ou are the ones who are trained to fight yours is the profession of arms the will to win the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory that if you lose the nation will be destroyed every organization has an internal culture and ethos on the shoulders of an army leader rests the mission win our wars the desire to accomplish that mission despite all adversity is called the warrior ethos which is as follows i will always place the mission first i will never accept defeat i will never quit i will never leave a fallen comrade this statement represents the professional attitude selfless commitment discipline pride and belief that characterizes the american soldier s winning spirit the second reason one must strive to become the very best leader they can be your people deserve nothing less the most precious commodity with which the army deals is the individual soldier who is the heart and soul of our combat forces general j lawton collins vii corps commander world war ii as a leader in any walk of life taking care of people is a primary function there are many aspects of this that the u s army leadership field manual discusses to include understanding human behavior motivating people mentorship along with other people management skills from the moment an army leader takes the oath they accept many responsibilities the foremost of those responsibilities is the leadership of people the most precious resource in their care these people deserve competent professional and ethical leadership they expect their army leaders to respect them as valued members of effective and cohesive organizations and to embrace the essence of leadership an ideal army leader has strong intellect physical presence professional competence high moral character and serves as a role model being a good leader also means being a good follower with the same expectations a leader has of their subordinates there is always someone who has similar expectations of them therefore the people s success is the leader s success the leader s success is their boss success all the way up the chain until the entire organization benefits from everyone s performance and success the teamwork throughout this chain of people contributes entirely to the organization s success and is vital to accomplishing the mission none of this occurs without competent leadership the army leadership field manual answers many questions about how to lead among those questions are 1 how do you prepare to be a leader 2 how do you learn and embrace those values and skills that will enable you to meet the challenge 3 what makes a good leader and person of character ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ there are things that a leader must be know and do leadership begins with what a leader must be the values and attributes that shape a leader s character these are the internal qualities that a person possesses and are no different from one leader to another regardless of position these qualities continue to develop and strengthen through experience and increased responsibility a leader must be be values attributes loyalty mental duty physical respect emotional selfless service honor integrity personal courage skills are the things a leader must know everything from the technical side of one s job to the people skills becomes the knowledge that leaders should use when leading people again as one moves through their career this knowledge contributes to their ability to make decisions and take appropriate action a leader must know know skills interpersonal conceptual technical tactical a leader cannot be effective until they apply who they are their values and attributes and what they know skills the leaders actions what they do are influenced by their personal character and knowledge and do things that are morally and technically correct do actions influencing communicating decision making motivating operating planning preparation executing assessing improving developing building learning _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ leadership is the process of influencing people by providing purpose direction and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization leaders influence their people to do what needs to be accomplished while providing a clear purpose and reason to take action they communicate what tasks need to be accomplished and they assign the responsibility and the standards for accountability the leader s ability to convey a clear vision and intent allows followers the freedom to modify plans and orders to adapt to changing circumstances motivation plays a significant role in the leadership function and is a key ingredient in the completion of tasks although motivation comes from within each individual it is affected by external influences the leader needs to understand their people to know what they need what their desires and aspirations are and to know what motivates them also a good leader will learn about their people s capabilities and what their limitations are and then align the tasks and responsibilities to those abilities while providing them increased challenges learning from mistakes and improving performance is an ongoing never ending process the army has this down literally to a science the army is accustomed to performing an after action review aar which is a professional discussion of an event focused on performance standards consider it a team s self assessment of what happened why it
