knobs, understand leading with honor is the key to good leadership

Leading Effects Everyone

• As you lead, your actions will have positive or negative effects

• What you do to someone will turn around and come back to you, whether good or bad

leadership style– Rewards such as higher rank and more opportunities will

come

• However, bad leadership will have a negative impact as well

2. What causes for cadets and leaders in general to sacrifice their honor in order to lead in a negative manner?

3. Discuss a situation that could arise in the corps that would allow for honorable leadership to be necessary like the story depicted in the video. 10
