Has RallyPoint helped shape you as a leader? If so, how?

The diverse RallyPoint community and the vast amount of leadership experience available through RP has helped me to become a better leader both in and out of uniform.

For me personally, RP has reenforced the idea of listening to others and trying to see things from their point of view. Everyone has something to contribute, and somethings there is more than one right answer.

I would hope younger serving members receive some benefits from all the unique experience that is available here. I know this would have been a very helpful tool when I was still serving. When it comes to leadership traits you have to have an open mind to absorb all available information. We should never stop honing our skills, subordinates depend on us to make sound wise decisions. This is a great question ENS Private RallyPoint Member and I look forward to the responses.

It has definitely afforded the opportunity to see things from differing perspectives.
So I say yes. And I have yet had a negative turn from anything I learned. Keep in mind Do take advice then use bits from all to build from thinking planning then doing.

Good morning PO2 Martin,

Rally Point has been a great reminder of where I gain much of my view towards the world. To be able to interact around Honorable members, both past and present, of the greatest fighting force the world has ever witnessed, has helped me focus moving forward as a veteran small business owner. Reminding me, I am no loafer also.

For example: Enclosed is a picture of an uploaded cardiac test ultrasound exam to a cloud based HIPAA compliant server. It has taken me months to complete this one part of a complicated personal mission. I will not bore anyone with the story of this one economic battle and win.

Let me hear your war cry!

RP has helped me in so much ways! I met great people and was offered unique opportunities to develop my skills. You may have the best plans and intentions, if there's no one to help you out, especially in the military, chances are you're not gonna make it.
