How my Soldiers act when I am not there. Do they cut corners? Do they follow established guidelines or do they act a fool and do as they wish. Of course when I am there, they follow the rules. How they act in my absence, is my definition of leadership.

To me leadership is coaching, counseling and mentoring. When my Soldiers don’t know how to do something I coach them. When they need help either personally or professionally, I go into counseling and mentoring mode. In the end, their duty performance speaks volumes about what type of leader you are.
