The Leaders
Mindset
The decision to lead people, whether it happens
to be in the workplace, the army, as a volunteer, or
in some other setting is a significant responsibility.
Capable, intelligent, driven leaders just do not come
along very often.
Of course, most of us have had the joy of working
for some complete idiot masquerading as a “leader,”
making us much more appreciative of the good ones.

Being led by someone that you could lap on an IQ test
is never fun.
The army is effective at attracting capable leaders for

roles in the military are already fascinated with the
culture, the lifestyle, service to one’s country, and the
unique challenges that including leading on and off
the battlefield.
