Lieutenant Pershing was in command of the Sioux Scouts and led them into the Dakotas to put down an outbreak there and participate in the Battle of Wounded Knee. In several years of Indian fighting Pershing won further commendations for courage and efficiency.

After the Indian campaigns were over Lieutenant Pershing was detached and sent to the University of Nebraska as military instructor. 

In 1898, he went up San Juan Hill  under fire from Spanish sharpshooters who killed or wounded 50 percent of the regiment’s officers. Next came three tours in the Philippines where Pershing displayed an ability to combine force and diplomacy to disarm the island’s fierce Moro warriors.

In 1932, Pershing won the Pulitzer Prize for history for his two-volume book set, “My Experiences in the World War. 

After World War I, Pershing was promoted to General of the Armies and became the only active-duty six-star general in U.S. history.

The battle became a bloody stalemate, compounded by massive traffic jams in the rear areas as green American staffs floundered. Pershing tacitly admitted failure and handed over the First Army to Hunter Liggett, who revamped its tactics and organization. Renewing the offensive, the Americans joined the advancing British and French armies in forcing the Germans to accept an armistice, Pershing was the only Allied commander who opposed the armistice, urging continued pressure until the Germans surrendered unconditionally.]]> 2021-04-21 06:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/silkeomanivong1/j9g9641tcf0d6si9/wish/1441283612 silkeomanivong1 https://padlet.com/silkeomanivong1/j9g9641tcf0d6si9/wish/1441295362
As times changes and increases in complexity, we need the knowledge and ability to anticipate, adapt to, and drive change. In order for leaders to be successful, our municipalities to be successful, our government and our entire nation, we need to have great leaders. A good leader will show their subordinates the right way to behave and instill enthusiasm for the work they are doing. If they are humble and accountable, subordinates will also embody to behave this way.
