Although the entire company may not function as a cohesive unit, the great thing about civilian leadership is the ability to create your own team of qualified people to move forward and achieve goals. Keep in mind there is a major difference between military and civilian team success. In the military, trained leadership is essential because team members are random, brought together only by a common bond. In the civilian world people compete to be on the team and only good leadership creates the bond. Image how far a trained leader can take a team in the civilian world. Your leadership skills are unique and valuable since most civilian leaders have not had formal leadership training. Lead by example and your employees will follow.
