Furthermore, the leader must assure that his soldiers are cared for. But leadership is more than this, too. Leadership is selfless service to one's unit and country. Leadership is putting one's troops ahead of oneself. Leadership is keeping one's personal affairs in meticulous order.
Leadership is stalwart professionalism in the face of adversity.
Leadership is all these things and a thousand more. Such a leader will so motivate and inspire his subordinates that they will not only follow him into the pits of hell and back they will be glad for the opportunity to take the trip. And that is what leadership means. PMA Hall of Fame COL James Lockaby will be inducted into the PMA Hall of Fame on August 4.
