A great article for those transitioning out soon. It is even a good read for those that have been out for a while most of your successful leaders utilize everything they did in the military to succeed in the outside world.
I just talked with a newly assigned LT today with a reserve unit, he need some information on one of his troops. I asked him a simple question after he told me the rank and last name of his troop, did a search and 108 came up in his area. I asked Sir what is his first name? This way I could narrow it down, he stated I should know that, shouldn't I? Yes Sir, along with his family members and email etc. We know what to do out here, be leaders and you will succeed. Salutes

I think it is Leadership 101, CSM Michael Lynch. I remember when I made E-5, I was so careful to have a book filled with this information about my Soldiers. We gathered lots of information back then (late 70s); I'm guessing all that info might not be allowed to be collected now, but the concept is still a good one. That forced me to get to know my troops. I knew them anyhow, because we were just a team (two per squad), but still.
The article makes some good points about ways to personalize leadership and show your personnel you care -- both in and out of the military.
