Develops Guideline
Developing people and the organization with a long-term perspective requires leaders who-
- Create a positive environment that fosters esprit de corps and teamwork, promotes cohesion, and encourages initiative and acceptance of responsibility. A leader maintains a healthy balance between caring for people and their Families while focusing on the mission.
- Seek self-improvement to master the profession at every level. A leader must make a full commitment to lifelong learning. Self-improvement requires self-awareness and leads to new skills necessary to adapt to changes in the leadership environment.
- Invest adequate time and effort to develop individual subordinates and build effective teams. Success demands a fine balance of teaching, counseling, coaching, and mentoring.
- Act as stewards of the profession, making choices and taking actions that ensure that leaders in the future sustain an Army capable of performing its core functions.
- The rater will comment on how well the officer promoted and supported a healthy workplace environment conducive to the growth and development of personnel when completing the OER.
- Rating officials may provide additional comments, if needed, evaluating the rated officer on how well the rated officer promoted a climate of dignity and respect and adhered to the requirements of the SHARP program.
