Post; The First Principle of Leadership


"Know your men and promote their welfare."

Amazing how this one is honoured more in the breach than the observance.

"The first duty of any good officer is to his men. Second, to his country. Last, to the betterment of both through his service. I see no obligations unto himself in the above. It is this selfless attitude which I will strive to cultivate and maintain."

from my personal code of conduct.
