Lead 610 Peacemaker Proposal
Peacemakers Project: Proposal
Jaime E. Castaneda Jr.
Liberty University
Lead 610
Dr. Struble
My proposal for the peacemakers project will be an ongoing conflict that I currently have with my commanding officer Capt. Jessica Riley. I am the first Sgt. for an organization with 300 soldiers. The commander and I are supposed to be an unbreakable team that sets the tone and issues guidance to the company to ensure its success. My current issue at hand is that the commander does not create a climate within the organization that is positive. The commander fails to make the effort to provide a vision that invokes change for the better of the organization. Additionally, the commander continuously talks down to all subordinate soldiers to include myself even though her level of experience as a fraction of that of every soldier under her command. Due to her inability to communicate with her soldiers effectively the soldiers no longer want to put forth maximum effort into mission accomplishment. Many soldiers have requested transfers out of the organization which has resulted in my inability to retain the best. Soldiers would rather leave the organization then be subjected to more negativity. The common reason for wanting to leave is the fact that the commanding officer fails to praise or even create a climate where soldiers can voice their opinions as well as their suggestions. This commanding officers thought process creates a toxic command climate that is not addressed will become a significant problem in her future career. This is the peacemaker proposal that I would like to work on for my peacemaker project. The end result is I hope that resolution between myself and my commanding officer can be achieved with positive results.
