Being A NAVY SEAL

A good leader has many certain traits and qualities. Communication being one of them. A leader needs to be able to speak to everyone, since they are in charge. Leaders will use constructed criticism to let the people being lead know how they are doing, what could be fixed, or what could be better.

An important part of leadership is the ability to make every moment and conversation matter. Try to

When first opening the pages of Seal Team Six Memoirs of an Elite Navy Seal Sniper by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin you quickly realize that Howard E. Wasdin is both the protagonist and major character of the book. Experiencing his first sniper shot at the young age of seven, he later would become the SEAL’s top sniper, retiring from the military after 12 years of service, found out that God had spared his life more than once so that he could not only heal himself physically and spiritually, but to help others by becoming a doctor of chiropractic medicine.

This is a valuable trait of a leader that I embody. Another trait that is vital is responsibility.

“I never allowed myself to forget who was in command as I went through these paces. In the journal I kept, the final words in each entry were the same everyday: ‘Thank you, God, for one more day.’ No matter how bad things would get, I’d never forget to tell Him that.” (Service: A Navy Seal at War) Every time an Iraqi turned away from Al Qaeda and began cooperating with us, it was a double blow to the enemy.”

Acquiring leadership skills along with a strong character and the sense to serve others is vital. A leader should be resourceful, dependable, selfless, and a good problem solver.

A Navy SEAL is a special operations force in the United States Military. SEAL stands for Sea, Air, and Land Teams. The SEALs were founded around the 1940’s (exact date is unknown) but the roots trace back to WWII.

Among these five characteristics; military expertise, honorable service, trust, esprit de corps, and stewardship of the profession, I believe that military expertise and stewardship of the profession are the two characteristics that make a leader excel in the presence of their peers. ADRP 1 defines military expertise as, “Military expertise is the design, generation, support, and ethical application of land power, primarily in unified land operations, and all supporting capabilities essential to accomplish the mission in defense of the American people”. In order to gain trust from your subordinates for them to follow your guidance, a leader must have military expertise. Without being an expert in your field, subordinates will not trust your guidance provided unto them. ADRP 1 defines Stewardship of the Profession as, “Stewardship is the responsibility of Army professionals to ensure the profession maintains its five essential characteristics now and into the future”.

While some may argue that leadership is an inherent trait in human, leaders are made, not born. Making a great leader out of a person is not just a matter of identifying the leadership traits, skill and talents of the individual, but harnessing the traits, develop them and eventually mastering how to be leader.

One of the most important characteristics of a good leader is that they must be actually prepared to lead under any circumstance. This sounds like something that should go without saying, but it is surprising just how many people who are in a leadership role are not prepared to take an active role in leading their team. A good leader does not sit back and observe what is going

To be a successful leader I also agree that one needs to have certain characteristic and skills. A leader needs to be able to simple lead, as you have stated. They need to direct and guide people to fulfill shared goals. Communication is also another huge skill. A leader needs to be able to clearly communicate, build relationships, motivate others, inspire others, and be a role model to create a positive work environment and culture that will accept change and innovation in the company.
