Re: Leadership
Here's what I've determined experimentally, through a semester in charge of a flight in AFJROTC back at Irmo:
1) You will eventually be forced to do something that neither you nor your subordinates will want to do. Do it.
2) There will always be one person who doesn't want to do anything. Show that person the light--and if that doesn't work, show that person your drill bits in need of organization.
3) Some people will not be as able to be part of the group for whatever reason. Don't bug them for it, but don't write them off, either.
4) Bringing the group together to do things does wonders. (The military calls it drill.)
5) Know when it's time to pass the torch--and make sure the new torch-holder knows what he's doing!
