Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted July 5, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 5, 2018 Today, SDA members are asking what do we want in our elected leaders, The following comes from a non-religious setting. But, I happen to believe that it has some meaning for us today: * Honesty: This is the foundation of all trust. * Reliability: Honesty and Reliability go hand in hand. Honesty is saying what you will do and Reliability is actually doing it. * Competence: The ability, based upon knowledge, skills, attitudes, relationships and judgment to accomplish the task. * Compassion: This is to recognize and respect the humanity of subordinates. Without this, subordinates will not give of their best. The above was taken from: Pete Kilner, "Four Factors Make A Trusted Leader," Military Officer, July 2018, Page 28. It should be noted that Lt. Col Pete Kilner formerly served as a professor at the J.S. Military academy, at West Pont, where he taught ethics and led the Center for the Advancement of Leader Development and Organizational Learning.
