Leadership in dynamism

I often pride myself for being able to be on top of things, being able to prevent emotions and hard targets from clouding my actions and behavior. Still a long way there =\.

I often preach to my squad about self-reflection, I think I'm not doing that enough for myself either. Maybe I should start to realize that an egg needs to be cushioned, so in our attempts to hammer it into the appropriate oval shape we should always avoiding too much to crack it.

The egg analogy is a bit too extreme i suppose. But commendation is always a form of encouragement, and encouragement is always a good form for motivation, and motivation is always a good start for improvement.

However, 4 years is just about enough to shape a shape.

Is preferential treatment towards different cadets, by the NCOs, justified?
