The Leadership Trait Missing From The Marine Corps Leadership Traits

Leadership is a journey, not a destination. Furthermore, leadership involves hardships, stress, pressures, and burdens. This being the case, endurance is a crucial trait in leadership. The Marine Corps is full of opportunities to demonstrate endurance. Leadership endurance involves mental and emotional stamina, in addition to physical stamina. In this episode, we'll discuss endurance and tips that will help you endure the demands of leadership. 1) Take care of yourself 2) Pace yourself 3) Establish an infinite mindset

063 - Marine Corps Leadership Trait: Endurance

Every leader wants their team to be loyal. “How can I get my team to be more loyal?” I hear similar questions often. As a leader, they key question to ask isn’t how to get your team to be more loyal. The key question is, “how can you be more loyal as the leader?” In this episode, we’ll explore the Marine Corps leadership trait of loyalty. In addition to the Marine Corps manual, we’ll discuss tips for increasing loyalty in your leadership. 1) Revisit your purpose often 2) Take good care of yourself 3) Find a community of other leaders

The importance of knowledge in a leadership role is obvious. However, this Marine Corps leadership trait reaches far beyond specific subject matter knowledge. The Leadership Calculator uses Competence to calculate leadership effectiveness - essentially the same as knowledge. This competence is specific subject matter competence, general industry related competence, and leadership competence. Here are a few tips for increasing your knowledge... 1) Books - Leaders are readers 2) Invest in yourself - Courses, content, communities 3) Get a coach - see our Coaching options at credibleleaders.com/coaching

060 - Workplace Culture with Dana Vogelmeier

Courage can be one of those mysterious leadership traits that people feel you either have or you don't. "You can't teach courage," I hear people say. Well, I'm not so sure about that. Courage is certainly an important trait for a leader. The Marine Corps requires courage in leaders for obvious reasons. War brings about countless scenarios that require courage. But even the corporate world has scenarios that require leaders to have courage. Having a difficult conversation with a team member requires courage. Making a significant decision that directly impacts the business and team members requires courage. At times, you may feel like you don't have courage. But I do believe courage can be learned. Let's review a few tips that will help you develop courage. 1) Acknowledge your fear 2) Take Action 3) Make good decisions - see episode #52

Marine Corps Leadership Trait: Courage

Unselfishness should be a the top of any leader's priority list. This trait speaks directly to a leader's motives for being a leader. Being an unselfish leader ensures the leader's motives are never questioned by the team. The Marine Corps defines unselfishness as avoidance of providing for one's own comfort and personal advancement at the expense of others. This reminds me of a lesson I learned as a Marine NCO and Simon Sinek later wrote a book about - leaders eat last. Since unselfishness is so important, let's discuss a few ways to establish this trait in your leadership. 1) Care more about the team than yourself 2) Express appreciation regularly 3) Study others that promote servant leadership

Marine Corps Leadership Trait: Unselfishness

Bearing isn't a word often used in the corporate world, but it is crucial to leadership. This Marine Corps leadership trait speaks of maintaining a high standard of appearance, carriage, and conduct. Bearing helps a leader to walk the talk, even when they aren't confident in their ability.
