First question was tricky. I see being amongst your troops as one of the most important traits of a good leader, but if I'm new to the unit and about to lead a major assault, I'd want to personally over see the planning to make sure it isn't going to FUBAR'd.
The troops can have all the confidence in me in the world, but if the people that I do not yet have a feel for but delegated the planning to screw it up, the mission is going to be a disaster.
OK...Patton!

Re: What type of leader are you?
Which is why you have a PLT SGT, Squad Leaders, and Team Leaders, and why you need to ensure that they are properly trained and supervised. The troops do well those thing the Boss checks. Having said that, a superb leader's troops take care of things when there's nobody around watching.JLTW!!! wrote:Trigger wrote:General George Patton.

Your first PSG is just gonna looooooove you. As will "your" troops, I'm sure.

Re: What type of leader are you?
William Tecumseh Sherman
Biography:
William Tecumseh Sherman was one of the most controversial and successful Union generals during the Civil War. He performed well at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the siege of Chattanooga. He captured Atlanta in one of the Civil War's most decisive campaigns. He advocated the concept of "total war" — waging war not just on the enemy's forces but on the enemy's support network. In this, he was the first modern general. He demonstrated this in his famous "March to the Sea," where his troops cut a swath of destruction through Georgia.
Leadership Attributes:
Sherman was tenacious in battle, and served with Ulysses S Grant in his campaigns — including the siege of Vicksburg, where his tenacity payed off. Sherman led by initiative as much as by planning. During his "March to the Sea," he was cut off from supply lines and his troops lived off the land. Sherman was a soldier, not a diplomat. In fact, after the war, when his name was bandied about for a nomination, he said, "If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
