PREPARES SELF

7-32. To prepare for increasingly more demanding operational environments, Army leaders must invest more time on self-study and self-development than before. Besides becoming multiskilled, Army leaders have to balance the demands of diplomat and Soldier. Acquiring these capabilities to succeed in decisive action is challenging, but critical. In no other profession is the cost of being unprepared as unforgiving, often resulting in mission failure and needless casualties.

BEING PREPARED FOR EXPECTED AND UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES

7-33. Successful self-development concentrates on the key components of the leader: character, presence, and intellect. While refining abilities to apply and model the Army Values, Army leaders maintain high levels of fitness and health, not only to earn the respect of others, but also to withstand the stresses of leading and maintaining their ability to think clearly.

7-34. While physical fitness is important, leaders must exploit every available opportunity to sharpen their intellectual capacity and relevant knowledge. The conceptual components affecting leader intelligence include mental agility, judgment, innovation, interpersonal tact, and expertise. A developed intellect helps the leader think creatively and reason analytically, critically, ethically, and with cultural sensitivity.
