7th NCOA Flashcards
CSM Jefferson Leadership Philosophy: Pinky
Passionate Leaders (Pinky): Although the smallest, some argue the pinky is actually the strongest of the fingers. Soldiers and Families are our most important assets and are the top priority. We have a moral obligation to know our profession, know our Soldiers and Families, show them the way, and lead by example.
CSM Jefferson Leadership Philosophy: Ring
Teamwork (Ring): Teamwork is the secret to winning and loyalty, trust, and selflessness are its basis. We are part of many teams - the team we build, the team of peers (other units), and the USAREUR team. We will be professional team players and accept responsibility for all of our actions; good or bad.
CSM Jefferson Leadership Philosophy: Middle
Competence (Middle): The middle finger is the longest and will entail much of our daily focus. We will be the experts for United States Army Europe in all aspects of developing junior leaders and we will be the standard bearers of professionalism.
CSM Jefferson Leadership Philosophy: Pointer
Discipline and Integrity (Pointer): If you’ve ever been scolded, you may associate the pointer finger with discipline. The discipline that I am referring to, and desire within our organization, involves always doing what you know is right. Integrity is one of the few things in life that cannot be taken away; however; it can be given away. Don’t give your away!
CSM Jefferson Leadership Philosophy: Thumb
Army Values and Comprehensive Fitness (Thumb): The thumb is the anchor of our hand and represents the Army values and Comprehensive Fitness. It is imperative we uphold the Army Values in our lives. This includes physical, emotional, social, family, and spiritual fitness. This is both an individual as as leader responsibility and is important for both Soldiers and Families.
