Integrity: It is critical. You have to know that when a leader says something, they mean it. That the leader speaks the truth.
Decisiveness: They will make a decision. We may not love the decision, but there will be a decision.
Loyalty: You have to know that a leader is loyal to our Nation, to our Unit and to you. They will have your back when you are right, and will help mitigate as they can when you are jacked up.
Unselfishness: Sure we all want to get ahead, everyone does. A leader will not get ahead, by stabbing others in the back or sacrificing their integrity to make themselves look better at anyone else's expense.
Honor: To be a military leader, you have to have Honor, for ours is all about Honor.
I could keep going...Being a good leader never stops.

Candor, honesty, fairness, integrity. I'm sure there are plenty more, but those four would top my list, MSG (Join to see).

Empathy! This comes from experience. Everyone screws up. If someone screws up once, you can understand...twice? We have a problem.

I'm not a senior leader, but when I have a leader that sets the example, everything else kinda falls in place
