Be concise, use as few words as possible But get my intent, tasks, and conditions across. Surround myself with qualified and efficient personnel. Seek self-improvement, be willing to learn and apply the new knowledge. DO NOT forget my role in developing my subordinates. Document everything, and keep a paper document of everything read, said, wrote.
Paperwork drive the military and gets issues resolved.
Do not tolerate complicity or incompetence. It kills people. Awards, Promote, identify soldiers monthly. Task soldiers, this educates them, challenges them to improve and learn. Be creative about training sites, events.
