Question 8

Describe Informal Leadership

Answer 8

Informal leadership is not exercised based on rank or position in the organization. It
stems from personal initiative, special knowledge, unique experiences, or technical
expertise specific to an individual or team. Informal networks arise both inside and
outside organizations. These informal networks include the noncommissioned officer
(NCO) support channel. To build cohesive teams, leaders interact with both formal
and informal teams, including the traditional chain of command and technical channels
combining commanders and staff officers

Question 9

Describe the “Be, Know and Do”

Answer 9

Army leadership begins with what the leader must BE, the values and
attributes that shape a leader’s character. Your skills are those things you
KNOW how to do, your competence in everything from the technical side of
your job to the people skills a leader requires. But character and knowledge -
while absolutely necessary-are not enough. You cannot be effective, you
cannot be a leader, until you apply what you know, until you act and DO what
you must

Question 10

Describe why self-awareness is critical to leadership

Answer 10

Being self-aware means seeing one’s self as viewed by others and understanding the
levels of influence one is likely to have with followers. Leaders should know their strengths and weaknesses:

what they do or do not know,
what they are or are not skilled at, and what is in their
span of control.

Even though they should be self-aware, not all leaders are. Leaders
vary in their proficiency levels in attributes and competencies and their preparation for
each situation. Leaders require self-awareness if they are to accurately assess their own experience and competence as well as earn the trust of those they influence
