One the keys to maintaining ready teams are through gratitude. We ask you Servicemembers and by default, their families to sacrifice their time often. Despite however frequent we ask and they respond we must never take their sacrifice for granted. With in this in mind, I would like to share a couple of strategies we a leaders can apply toward our performers to ensure their selfless service is valued. Performance feedback remains one of the most important dialogues a leader can have with their team member. In addition to reaffirming performance expectations, a thoughtful supervisor will dig past the surface of their performance assessment to see if any underlying personal issues could be addressed. Having a copy of your Soldier or Airman’s ribbon rack might be a good start, but only a start. When were your Soldier or Airman’s last decorations received and what was the accomplishment? Did their past performance include one, two, or three consecutive good years of participation? If so, are service and longevity awards correlating with their dependability? Do you consider the impact of what your Citizen Soldier or Airmen accomplish in their communities? Have you ever had a discussion about how much time and energy they spending coaching youth sports, teaching bible school or youth group, or how they donate their time to a non-profit organization? While these questions may have no direct influence on how a member achieves their duty responsibilities it help define
1. Influential Soldiers that embody The Soldier’s Creed, Warrior Ethos, and their experiences are more apt to achieving organizational and operational excellence. Soldiers, leaders, and teams must seek individual and organizational improvement throughout their daily lives. Based on my experiences, I believe the elements listed below create and sustain a solid foundation that Soldiers, leaders, and teams should strive to incorporate.
Each individual is different and sees and interpret things differently. This can cause it to be more difficult to manage. However, if done correctly, good leadership and mentorship can help Soldiers become more committed to something bigger than themselves – the collective goal, the mission – and helps them to achieve far greater results than they would have been able to. “Leaders who succeed are those who are humble enough to be able to see beyond themselves and perceive the true capacities and capabilities of their people” (The Outward Mindset, page 9). Respecting their differences, respecting them as individuals who can think, giving them the ability to be accountable for something bigger than themselves, makes them want to achieve and work harder together to reach the goal. When we respect each other, together, collaboratively, we can achieve far greater
During my time serving with the 2/75th Ranger Regiment, my platoon lived by the motto, “Quality is teamwork. Doing the right things right the first time builds trust and credibility.” My platoon’s quote has helped mold my character, work ethic, values, and attributes as a person and an Officer in the United States military. Arguably, trust and credibility are two of the most important factors in earning respect. Confidence is gained through experience coupled with the technical and tactical knowledge of a subject.
A role of the Sergeant Major is to raise morale, increase motivation, and build effective teams. By honestly recognizing positive behavior, individual achievement, and team success, the Sergeant Major spreads a positive outlook throughout the organization. When Soldiers feel acknowledged and valued, they are more likely to continue to progress and achieve continued success. Effective praise leads Soldiers to feel that their leaders are noting their positive achievements with detail and honesty (Reivich, Seligman, & McBride, 2011). Effective praise assists leaders in preventing hazing by showing that leaders care for their subordinates’ well-being and drive for continued
In the military, soldiers are the professional image civilians look up to when coming in contact with the Army branch. In the US Army, becoming a soldier and embracing this profession means living the Army values on a daily basis by ensuring that Loyalty, Honor, Personal Courage, Respect, Integrity, Selfless Service, and Duty, become part of a soldier’s character. However, not all soldiers have the same duty or responsibility in the military. In order to become victorious and accomplish the purpose of their profession, soldiers must continually learn how to work together as a team.
Chip your overall performance as always is exceptional in all areas, but one. Continue doing your best each and every day as you always do.

An effective performance appraisal system supports our desire to create a productive, motivated, accountable, reliable, creative, dedicated, and happy workforce.
As I look back at my lengthy career in the military I can identify countless occasions over the many years in which I felt compelled and or duty bound to engage a peer, counterpart or someone under my charge on matters of lasting significance, and to encourage them to make a sound decision and put forth their best effort for the team.
My Leadership Philosophy is built around honesty, respect, and selfless service. These three Army Values are the base of a Team’s foundation. Being a Leader is not just about leading Soldiers, it’s about leading Teams. You need a Team’s support in life to succeed. Your family at home, your church, or your Brother and Sisters at Arms are all members of your Team. FM-22 states: "creating a shared understanding is the first step and most important in developing a Team". With that statement, I would like to share my understanding of leading and developing Soldiers and Teams.
1. Performance improvement- This is an indicator that the client is cognitively understanding what is required of them and improving a skill that may be difficult for them to achieve. Moreover, this is the time that a practitioner or health professional can become more observant. Being observant in this stage is very important. The client may have strained the first-time rehabilitation or therapy was given. However, through observation the client may not strain or appear to be in pain as much as they appeared to be in the beginning. During performance improvement practice is very important for the client to adhere to. They may be asked to perform in a way that is uncomfortable. This may encourage the client to become lazy and practice bad habits.
“Soldiers ' ability to sustain themselves and their fellow soldiers during periods of high stress is built upon rock-hard confidence in themselves and their leadership chain beginning with fire team leaders or the noncommissioned officer of their section. What we have learned and relearned in our Army is that unit cohesion and teamwork are what give individual soldiers the confidence to use initiative, to be resourceful, and to be all they can be. A soldier always wants the best to be at his front, rear, right and left, trained to stay there regardless of what may happen. A special bond develops when leaders live their lives following the fundamentals of leadership.”-- SMA Glen E. Morrell
In relation to an individual’s role in organisation, it is important that an employee adopts team work as part of their social norm. Team work plays
The LAMSS and ABC project team members will discuss the project overall requirements and technology expectations, and develop a set of technology/system performance requirements. The specific objective for conducting the project is to provide ABC decision-makers with subjective (employee feedback) and objective (technology performance) information on the viability of the equipment under test to meet current ABC operational needs.
Throughout history, PMS clearly have a considerable contribution to evaluate the success of organisations. According to Neely et al. (2002), performance measurement is "the process of quantifying the efficiency and effectiveness of past actions". Moullin (2003) indicates that "PM is evaluating how well organisations are managed and the value they deliver for customers and other stakeholders". The modern accounting framework can be traced back to the Middle Ages and since that time appraisal of performance has primarily been ground on financial criteria (Bruns, 1998).
From the results of interviews with specialist doctors in general government hospital Medan city, performance measurement has been done with the online system. The process and the result of performance measurement can be seen by superiors and specialist doctors themselves. This result is different from Lubis and Nasution's (2016; 2017) study. From they’re research in private general hospitals around Medan City, performance measurement has’nt been done with the online system. They still use paper stuffed manually.
