STRATEGIC VISIONARY – Think, act, lead and develop others in a strategic manner. Be out in front of the fray. To an extent, you have to be a futurist or be able to look at things and see the art of the possible. Generals have to take risks to have a shot at success and ultimately win wars. The key here is to be willing to move out in uncharted territory.DECISIVE – Make decisions and make them at the right time. Exercise prudence to insure snap judgments or delayed decision-making doesn’t hinder achieving critical mission objectives.COURAGEOUS – Exercise physical and moral courage to serve as the beacon for others to emulate and follow. Moreover, leaders do the right thing for the right reason at the right time.ACCOUNTABLE – Lavish praise on subordinates when victories occur and take responsibility when the team falls short of their objectives. Always start corrective actions with ones’ self.INTEGRITY – This is flat out non-negotiable! There is no room for questionable character in Generals, generalship or leadership.DRIVE – Make something happen. You can have a good plan and a good team but someone must drive the team to the top of the summit.TEAM BUILDER – the team that must be built here is very high level. Coalitions and disparate parts must be brought together in unison to achieve much higher goals.CHANGE AGENT – Recognize who or what needs to be changed and then commit to making the required changes. Most people focus on the what, forgetting that the WHOs are the ones that drive the WHATs.STANDARDS – Maintain high personal standards for oneself. Equally important is to set and enforce the standards for the rest of the organization.POISE – Lead with flair and class and always conduct yourself in an unflappable manner.DIPLOMATIC – Create political alliances outside of your own organization to achieve common goals and objectives.
