Nations entrust their military personnel with the responsibility of providing for the national defense and securing the rights and liberties of their people. This goal places many who serve in harms way, whether during peacetime or when at war.
United States Naval Academy midshipmen are under never ending pressure to learn and develop, to become the finest military officers in the world. Each midshipman is assigned a full undergraduate workload to be completed in no more than four years.
Leaders motivate and inspire their followers to collaboratively pursue achievement of an established vision. Thus, the very nature of leadership necessitates employee interaction, direction setting, and performance standard establishment.
