When I joined the Air Force, the first step is going to basic training. When I arrived, our military instructor assigned us element leaders and a chief. The girl in charge of the entire flight was airman Hernandez. She was our leader and she had to help all of us succeed in basic training. Why I consider her a successful leader was the fact that she deprived sleep to handle any problems that arrived in our flight. She made sure we were all getting along. If we had concerns, she went out of her way to address them. We were involved in decision-making and we voted for what we wanted. She never put herself before the flight.…

Effective Leader Essay Thousands of years ago, Polynesians traveled across the Pacific Ocean to discover the islands that we call Hawai`i. It is a chain of eight islands that are named Hawai`i, Mau`i, Moloka`i, Kaho`olawe, Lana`i, O`ahu, Kaua`i and Ni`ihau.

He ruthlessly led his army to attack anyone in his way of taking control of the islands.…

First, I must choose the harder right. I strongly believe that a good officer is one that is not afraid to go that extra mile to ensure the safety and welfare of the soldiers under his command, this is very rarely easier than just doing the minimum. Secondly, a leader must remain calm in all situations. The soldiers under the command of a nervous and indecisive leader will tend to act in the same way, they actually "inherit" some of the traits that their commanding officer portrays, both on the battlefield and in garrison. If a leader even seems indecisive and unsure of him/her self then the soldiers he/she commands will be hesitant about following the orders they are issued, and hesitation on the battlefield does nothing more than cost lives. Next, I'd like to touch on the fact that in the army talent must be promoted. One should not be afraid to promote officers that have greater aptitude than that they possess. If talent had not been promoted, then Sam Damon would not have been able to create such a positive impact on the Army, and a few more soldiers could have lost their lives in combat.…
