What's In It For Me? An Essay on
Volunteerism Quality Unit Publications and Resources Taking Charge, Taking Command: For the new company (staff section or equivalent) commander, how you take charge will be of great interest to your subordinates as well as superiors. They will be interested in your leadership style. They will want to know your goals and standards and how you expect to achieve them. They’ll want to know what changes you have in mind before you make them. They’ll probably have as many questions about you as you do about them and the organization. In fact, you will be tested by some and expected to show improvements within the unit. Fundamentals of Motivation and Motivational Techniques: Motivation can be defined as the cause of action. Motivation energizes human behavior. It causes a person to act. Motivation often explains why a person performs at a particular level. People can be motivated to do just about anything and conversely, they can be motivated to do absolutely nothing.Building a Cohesive Organization: Unit cohesion is defined as the bonding together of soldiers and their leaders in such a way as to develop and sustain their commitment to their unit and their resolve to accomplish the mission. Cohesion is not something that you can give to a unit. It CANNOT be imposed by a unit’s leadership. Cohesion is developed within an organization both by the soldiers in the unit and by the unit’s leaders. Motivate Subordinates to Improve Performance: Motivation has been defined in many ways. It is derived from a Latin word meaning "to move." The term motivation is usually considered to consist of three components: energy, direction and persistence. Accordingly, motivation implies something that results in action. However, as a leader, you must do more than energize motion, you must provide direction for that action.
