When did you finally feel accomplished enough to lead? What was your first job as a leader?

I don't think I'll ever feel "accomplished enough to lead"...I certainly hadn't accomplished anything at twenty-one when the Navy decided I was "ready" to be a DIVO. I learned a great deal, and continue to learn, from as many people as I can. I can't recall any time in my military career where the leadership organization was truly "vertical"...let alone, "flat".

After moving into civilian Management postion, the military helps with starting the path. A ture leadership is motivating your people in accomplishing the mission
