Nick’s Rules on Leadership
I originally posted this last July but it seems apropo today.

---------------------------------------------------------------

My son and I have spent a great deal of time discussing leadership as of late. He has many examples that he would like to emulate and and equal number not to follow. It is interesting as a father to watch him grow and slowly build his personal leadership toolbox and style.

I saw this over at Ranger Up/ The Rhino Den a while back and thought I would pass it along.

Nick's Rules on Leadership

1) Don’t be a douche.

2) Your guys are more important than your career.

3) Be good at your job.

4) It’s not your platoon.

5) It is your platoon.

6) Don’t lie, ever, for any reason.

7) You make mistakes – admit them.

8 ) Leader is not equal to BFF.

9) You’re not the smartest guy in the platoon.

10) You can never quit.

11) You are not the focal point of your subordinate’s lives.

12) But your subordinates watch everything you do.

13) Get your boss’s back.

14) Have a sense of humor.

15) Do the right thing.
