corollary:

The best leaders are not driven by ego or personal agendas. They are simply focused on the mission and how best to accomplish it.

there can be no leadership where there is no team.

Every leader must be able to detach from the immediate tactical mission and understand how it fits into strategic goals.

The right decision, even when all seems lost, can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The wrong decision, even when a victorious outcome seems all but certain, can result in deadly, catastrophic failure.

Every tactical-level team leader must understand not just what to do but why they are doing it.

In combat as in life, the outcome is never certain, the picture never clear. There are no guarantees of success. But in order to succeed, leaders must be comfortable under pressure, and act on logic, not emotion. This is a critical component to victory.

leadership is the most important thing on the battlefield and the principles of good leadership do not change regardless of the mission, the environment, or the personalities of those involved. Leading is leading.
