Military Leadership
Looking at my own cooperative work in a hospital as a leader for an intensive care unit, I can see how I use all three types of leadership that have been covered in the lessons on the American experience of the Vietnam War: strategic thinking, tactical planning, and logistics. In fact, not only do I incorporate all three of those skill sets in my daily work in a mission-driven organization, but I also feel like any successful leader must be willing to incorporate all three of those leadership approaches.

I feel that as a leader, I am able to recognize the need for all three types of leadership, am able to employ all three types of leadership, and have recognized that my strengths are most heavily concentrated in strategic thinking so that I can delegate responsibility for much of the tactical planning and logistics required for my unit.

Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers).
