Army Leadership

• Army leaders must teach their subordinates moral
  principles, ethical theory, Army values, and
  leadership attributes.
• Leaders reinforce and discipline behavior to
  guide subordinates development.
• To help subordinates live according to Army
  values, leaders enforce rules, policies, and
  regulations.
• Leaders can promote Army values by setting the
  example themselves and pointing out other
  examples of Army values in both normal and
  exceptional activities.
• People of character behave correctly through
  correct understanding and personal desire.
• Individuals must also know why Army values are
  important and how to apply them to everyday Army
  life.
• People of character must possess the desire to
  act ethically in all situations.
• Leaders should influence others character
  development and foster correct actions through
  role modeling, teaching, and coaching.
• Becoming a person of character and a leader of
  character is a career-long process involving both
  self-development and developmental counseling.
• Because subordinates learn best by doing, leaders
  should be willing to take calculated risks and
  accept the possibility that less experienced
  subordinates will make mistakes.
• Empower subordinates. Give them a task, delegate
  the necessary authority, and let them do the
  work.
• Good leaders allow space so subordinates can
  experiment within the bounds of intent-based
  orders and plans.
