Leadership
Leadership is the action of leading a group of people or an organization. In my short two years in the army I’ve seen good leadership and bad leadership. A leader is a motivation for others that inspires individuals to aim high and attain that aim. However a boss only supervises over his subordinates. There are many different types of leadership styles some are effective in different ways some are not. in world war II a man came who’s leadership style was similar to today’s army he believed the ultimate authority rested with him and extended downward. At each level, the superior was to give the orders, the subordinates to follow them to the letter. According to his generals this prohibited them from fighting the war the way it needed to be fought. Some people are excellent leaders some people should just need to shut up and follow.” Leadership is solving problems.
