My Leadership Plan

My leadership development plan will focus on the Mississippi National Guard. There are seven core values that are instilled in every member and Solider within the organization no matter their rank or status. There are seven core values that include:

1) Loyalty- Stand up for the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your fellow Soldiers and the citizens you serve.
2) Duty- Fulfill your obligation no matter the cost.
3) Respect- Treat people as you would want to be treated.
4) Selfless-Service- Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army, your subordinates before your own.
