  7. 1. LEADER CHALLENGE:
  8.  
  9. Selfless Service by SMA Chandler; I've talked about several of the Army Values, including Loyalty, Duty, and Respect. Next, I want to talk about Selfless Service. To me, Selfless Service is putting the needs of others before yourself. But it doesn't just mean putting your Soldiers first, though that is a major part of it. It means putting your Family first when they need you or even taking time for yourself when you are stressed. What does Selfless Service mean to you and how do you apply it in your day to day activities? (http://1.usa.gov/rdrZI8)

  13. 2. PRIORITY DISCUSSION ON NCO NET:
  14.  
  15. 11 Principles of Leadership; What are the good and bad of having or using them. The U.S. Army's Eleven Leadership Principles
  16. - Be tactically and technically proficient
  17. - Know yourself and seek self-improvement
  18. - Know your soldiers and look out for their welfare
  19. - Keep your soldiers informed
  20. - Set the example
  21. - Ensure the task is understood, supervised and accomplished
  22. - Train your soldiers as a team
  23. - Make sound and timely decisions
  24. - Develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates
  25. - Employ your unit in accordance with its capabilities
  26. - Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions
  27.  
  28. I know we do not have the Eleven Principles of Leadership in our leadership manual anymore but my questions are as follows. 1. Can we use these principles to help our junior NCOs become better leaders? 2. Can you or would you use them to better yourself. If yes how or if no why not? 3. What are you using out of the current leadership manual to help your NCOs become better leaders and how? (http://1.usa.gov/ogpf0a)  https://forums.army.mil/CommunityBrowser.aspx?id=1548382&lang=en-US

  66. 6.  ARMY ENTERPRISE EMAIL MIGRATION; HOW IT WILL AFFECT ARMY PROFESSIONAL FORUMS.  As announced by AKO, during 2011 Army email users will transition to an Enterprise Email service managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency. This migration will involve a change in everyone's army.mil e-mail address.  Although when your address changes you will continue to receive e-mail addressed to your old address for at least a year, it's recommended you advise friends and coworkers to begin using the new e-mail address within that time period. This change of e-mail address (if you don't update your address on NCO NET) will eventually affect your ability to log on to NCO NET, and to receive NCO NET newsletter like this one.  An announcement has been placed on the front page of NCO NET that provides a direct link to your profile, and encourages you to update your profile when you receive your new e-mail address. Just as a reminder, you must use your AKO/Enterprise military e-mail address for Army Professional Forums.  Visit the following link on AKO for more information on the Enterprise Email Migration.
