THE SLIDE BELOW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF YOUR JOB!

Officer – Team Support
Stand up for your team. Even when they are not doing the right thing. In fact, that is when you need to support them the most because it is your responsibility to gather lost sheep and right the ship. Never allow them to circumvent policy or the right thing. Your support of them is directly proportional to how much they obey rules and regulations. When they are not doing the right thing, your support may diminish (and they need to know that) but not your love. Sometimes they need the most love in times of correction and helping them figure out the next right thing to do. That is your job. Again, if you are able to recognize and correct these things in the incipient stage, you will cause the least amount of bleeding and pain for those who are actively going through the stages of organizational fire conditions. Always be aware of incipient issues in your team. If it smells like smoke, it is probably smoking. Don’t wait for conflagrations to erupt. Pay attention and do your job. Never let your inattention to your crew incinerate your command presence.

No one ever goes to work or to a job thinking they will get hurt or killed.  Know your job before the job.
