Hawkeye: [writing a letter to his dad] Henry
Blake is a good doctor and a pretty good “Joe.”
As a commanding officer, it’s a bit like being on a sinking liner,
running to the bridge and finding out the captain is Daffy Duck. But more about
old Henry later.”
In a letter to his
dad, Hawkeye describes the personalities of the people he works with and their
antics amidst everyday camp life during their first Christmas season at the
4077.
If character is the foundation of good leadership, then competency
provides the framework around which leadership is built. A leader’s ability to lead effectively is
directly proportional to their commitment to personal growth and leadership
development. At my previous appointment
I arrived feeling way out of my depth and unqualified to lead the team I
inherited. I knew that if I had any hope
of leading this team, I had to gain the knowledge and develop the skills
necessary. According to John Maxwell’s ‘Law
of the Lid’, my leadership ability determines my level of effectiveness; therefore,
I embarked upon a journey of significant personal growth. It is the responsibility of every leader to develop
the level of competence necessary to effectively lead the people or organization
entrusted to their leadership. Leaders
cannot lead where they are not travelling, nor can they teach what they don’t
know.
