How to Become a Leader 101 Ep.2 - "There's a time and place for everything."

Last episode I very briefly touched upon friendly banter with your group leader or commander. Talking with your peers is a great thing but there is a time and place for speaking. I know this is common sense but you'd be surprised at how some do not know when to stop talking and pay attention. When I was 1st Sergeant for Echo Company taking role was atrocious because people would talk while I was taking role. Eventually things got better (thank you sergeant for helping me out with this situation!) and people were more quiet and people found it easier to hear their names when I called them out.

Learning when to be all ears and business-like and when to be relaxed and business-like is important to keep you and your commander/team leaders from going bonkers (after all, who likes being yelled at by their commanders? Nobody. P.S. That's another topic for another day).

Summary

-When your commander/team leader is giving instructions, do not speak.

-Listen to the instructions and do not feed into someone else's nonsense. You are more likely to be spotted goofing around than the person who started it.

-After all instructions have been given, get to work but most importantly have FUN. Speak to your peers but remember that you've also got work to do so try to balance stuff out.

-If your commander/team leader gives you specific orders not to talk, do not talk!
