-often accused of being slow to comprehend the profound changes in warfare. Because of this, his professional education caused him to be ill-prepared to address tactical and operational dilemmas

-devastated by the loss of his wife and daughters killed in a fire. Many say he never recovered from the tragedy (Kukuljan & Haper, 2021).

He learned all he could to assimilate himself and be respected by adversaries. Although he might react hastily, he would still listen to his men and therefore not only could he recognize talent, he could also retain it. Being able to build a skilled team and rise to technological challenges are always going to be necessary attributes of a successful leader. ]]> 2022-09-14 19:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cself10/HS315_WK6Assingment/wish/2297016510 cself10 https://padlet.com/cself10/HS315_WK6Assingment/wish/2297018957 A good leader knows when to keep their mouth shut. 

A good leader is  able to recognize where their own skills might be limited and build a team with talent to address those weaknesses. 

A good leader is always learning. 

A good leader listens.
