The pillars of Army leadership

In 1973, the U.S. Army training manual outlined a leadership philosophy called “Be, Know and Do.” Over the years, a number of leaders have credited that philosophy for their success.

Here’s how you can apply it:

• Be, by embodying loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage.
  
  
• Know, by mastering what you need to know in your field, such as technical knowledge, world trends and relevant skills.
  
  
• Do, by engaging in three activities:
  
  
  1. Influencing (making decisions and motivating people).
     
     
  2. Operating (reaching immediate objectives).
     
     
  3. Improving (helping your organization do better).
