JAG I LEAD!: Developing JAG Corp Leaders

I become a leader by what I do. I know my strengths and my weakness and I strive constantly for self-improvement. I live by my moral code, with which I set an example others can emulate. I know my job and I carry out the spirit as well as the letter of the orders I receive.

     - Unknown

I found today's quote on page 98 (pdf page 52), Section 2, Component 2, in the U.S. Air Force JAG I LEAD!: Developing JAG Corp Leaders  First Edition 2005. This is a very interesting document and highly recommend it to learn more on leadership.

From the book's "How to Use I LEAD!:

I LEAD! is a leadership training tool tailored to the JAG corps by compiling the experiences and observations of JAG Corps personnel and presenting them within the organizational structure of the Air Force Doctrine Document 1-1, Leadership and Force Development (AFDD 1-1). The structure of I LEAD! mirrors the leadership guidance in AFDD 1-1 and primary focuses on its leadership components.

I LEAD! has this definition of leadership in its introduction:

Leadership is the art and science of influencing and directing people to accomplish the assigned mission. - Air Force Doctrine Document 1-1.

    Thank you for your email. In reply to your question about LLP's assertion that there is no intrinsic link between leaders and leadership, I would like to refer you to the Leadership and Learning Pathways website. See: llpathways blog. Click 'new paradigm'.

    The website is very much 'work-in-progress' and indeed I will be working on that particular web page tomorrow.

    I had prepared a more extensive reply. However, it far exceeded the 1,000 characters max.

    I would be delighted to have your comments on 'Leadership - A Paradigm Shift'

    Kind Regards
