I hope the gentleman and women who I've sent this link to get to go down the rabbit hole of great leadership.
One of my favorite Dick Winters quotes…
“When you’re a leader, you lead the way. You don’t just take the easy ones; you take the hard ones too.”
Such a simple yet impactful and powerful statement. Many leaders are in their position to boost their position, not the position of those under them. A boss tells people what to do, a leader shows people what to do.
Wish I could have met him...
Really wish guys like Major Winters were still around. I've read literally EVERYTHING about him and Company E. I dont think those men were any different than you or yours. Different times, different tech, different names.....all cut from the same cloth as far as I can tell.
There's tons of people like him in all walks of life (uniform and civ), but just like Maj W, they've got their nose to the grindstone and aren't peacocking online or in conversation about getting the job done with & for their people. You don't typically think of them as anything more than a "reliable, quiet, hard worker" even though they're sometimes holding a whole shop or unit together, like the subtle mortar between the obvious bricks that hold up the wall.
