-: I wouldn't say new skills, I would say
a refinement.
What I mean by that is in the military,
even if someone doesn't respect you as a person,
they have to respect your rank.
So your leadership can be derived from different things.
It can be derived from your skillset, your leadership,
or your rank, and that is a must.
When you get into a private sector
or when you get out of the military,
your rank and your title mean nothing.
You have to be someone that people want to follow,
that people believe in.
So,
learning how to motivate people,
not by your rank, but by
qualities, by
skillsets, culture, by values, those things,
understanding what moves them,
and then motivating them using what motivates them.
In the military I can stand and say to my subordinates,
"This is what we're gonna do today.
"Do this," and they'll do it.
But in the civilian world, you might wanna come
with something a little bit more than that.
