Developing Leading Marines Questions All Answers

We obtain our values through the influence of our ________, ________, and ________ with earlier experiences having more of an effect than later experiences. Parents, teachers, and peers

Attitudes are not as deeply held as values. True

CATEGORIES Values are organized into the following five categories: •Political values •Social values •Personal values •Economic values •Religious values

CHARACTER Our character is defined by "...the commitment to an admirable set of values, and the courage to manifest those values in one's life, no matter the cost in terms of personal success or popularity." (Sorely, 1989)

VALUES AND LEADERSHIP If a Marine is left without any guidance or supervision, then personal values will determine what that Marine will or will not do. Leaders must provide guidance and supervision to inspire and reinforce organizational values to have an effect on the behavior of our Marines.

IDENTIFYING WITH PEERS VICE UNIT When there is a breakdown in vertical cohesion within the parent command, Marines only identify with their peers and not with their unit. Marines in a group or section are only loyal to those Marines within the immediate group.

IMPACT ON UNIT SUCCESS Some Marines fail to make the connection between group objectives and command mission. Failing to understand the impact they have on the operation of the unit causes a disassociation from the unit and the Marine Corps.

INSUFFICIENT CHALLENGES Many Marines joined the Corps to be challenged to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Disillusionment occurs if their units have low individual expectations.

INEFFECTIVE MENTORS When new Marines check into a unit, they are looking to others to confirm accepted behaviors. Without a proper mentor, a Marine may choose a negative role model simply because of a dominant personality.

LACK OF MARINE CORPS STANDARDS A witnessed deviation from, and a lack of adherence to, required standards leaves a negative opinion of both the command and the leadership. If Marines are continually exposed to such an environment, their standards will begin to suffer as their expectations and sense of accomplishment dwindle.

INSUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE Discipline is degraded when commands relax standards, whether traditional customs or published regulations. All Marines are responsible for and capable of enforcing good discipline.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION The best and most important way to resolve conflicting values is through leadership by example.

MENTAL COURAGE Just before the Battle of Thermoplyae, a Spartan warrior named Dienekes was told that the Persian archers could blank out the sun with their arrows. He replied "Good, then we shall have our battle in the shade." Spartans were mentally prepared for war from a young age.

MORAL COURAGE In 1968, CWO Hugh Thompson was flying a support mission over My Lai when he realized something was terribly wrong. U.S. soldiers were slaughtering hundreds of unarmed civilians. With great moral courage Thompson landed his helicopter between the U.S. soldiers and the villagers and ordered his crew to train their weapons on the U.S. troops. He rescued 16 civilians calling in additional helicopter support to evacuate them. He would later report the incident to his chain of command.

PHYSICAL COURAGE In early 2004 while serving on the Iraqi border with Syria, Jason Dunham's platoon was checking vehicles in conjunction with an attack on their PSD element. One of the drivers became combative, and Jason was engaged in hand-to-hand combat when the driver dropped an armed grenade in the midst of the Marines. Jason covered the grenade with his own helmet and used himself to shield his platoon members. This great physical courage saved the lives of those closest to him.
