Inquire the needs of the men and women and establish the leadership that is effective for you. Don’t be tied down by have one style and being the definition of a traditional leader. Like most things, we adapt and sometimes fall into different areas of leadership as needed. “My most rewarding experience as leader was being able to address the new commanders and soldiers prior to their first deployment,” Ssg N.Rawn Tarrant IV. This was marked as such an honor because it showed how much his perspective and knowledge was valued and it was a great service needed for them entering such a big journey.

Returning to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago. In the last 30 days, I have had the opportunity to observe the ABCT and review a multitude of historical documents to assess the state of the brigade. During my observation, I believe the critical leadership problem in the 4th ABCT’s is the lack of vision for the brigade. Therefore, this critical problem has led to other challenging issues within the brigade.

He asked, “How do we create the specific conditions for, and achieve those key attributes that ensure that the Army is a profession – one in which all Army professionals recommit to a culture of service and the responsibilities and behaviors of our profession as articulated in the Army Ethic?”.

“Leadership is the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the organization” defined in ADP 6-22. I truly believe in order to provide purpose, leaders need to understand the big picture, when providing direction, a leader needs to properly understand the situation, and for a leader to provide the motivation you need to know your Soldiers. Being an effective Leader in the United States Army is very complex. As a Leader we need to be able to adapt to our ever changing environment. The elements of leadership I want to emphasize about is communication, respect, and personal responsibility. 1.
This creed given to the Young Officer Course of 2014 has all the answers to becoming a leader who truly leads by example “Fit to Fight Fit to Lead” Soldiers and war go hand in hand therefor it would be expected for soldiers to go into training so that when the time comes for the war he/ she is competent and physically capable of overcoming the enemy. As the officer in charge of these men who will send them into battle, you would want to be certain that if you send your men into fight that they won’t desert the country or the mission given and that they can be successful in achieving the goal.
