Reply #117: Exactly, it's respect and passing down tasking (not responsibility) that impresses one's

employees. For my brief time (4 years) in the Army, I noted that the best units had both NCOs and Officers with excellent communications skills - especially that of "active listening." That is, in Units with high performance ratings and high morale, there were NO stand outs, - NO STARS. It was a team effort where those "in charge" made sure everyone down to the privates were rewarded for a job well done. I was blessed to be a member of one of those units. You know it when you feel a sense of pride - esprit de corps. :blush:

A good leader doesn't need to be humble in nature, but he/she should be open to all new information from a multitude of sources. I never discounted the opportunity to glean "opinions" because it is essential to making sound decisions that benefit all within the unit.

HRC does not give me the impression that she LISTENS often to her subordinates nor does she reveal any signs that she SHARES the GLORY of her political victories with others. I *seriously* don't like HRC using her first name to campaign. It is IMO, un-professional as it's commonality focuses on "the person" and detracts from all those "little people" in the background who tirelessly contribute to her campaign. :shrug:

Part of me is embarrassed, but I've known many professional women sporting similar traits as HRC - and I've also despised every last one of them. :(
