clear, definite manner. They should pass along an orderas though it were original, not attach the name of thesuperior who actually originated the order.A leader’s primary responsibility is the motivationof subordinates. Motivation means instilling the will towork. This starts the moment workers report aboard andcontinues until they transfer. Each individual ismotivated by specific factors. These factors fall intogeneral categories such as personal needs, jobsatisfaction, and a sense of belonging. One of the bestmotivators is job satisfaction. Keeping people employedon essential jobs and generating a sense of teamworkhelp promote this feeling.A good leader will not hesitate to correctdeficiencies, but will observe the adage “praise inpublic, correct in private.” When your workers make anerror, show them the same consideration you would liketo receive. Public embarrassment may well cause themto quit trying to excel for fear of another failure.REFERENCESManagement Fundamentals: A Guide for Senior andMaster Chief Petty Officers, NAVEDTRA 10049,Naval Education and Training ProgramDevelopment Center, Pensacola, Fla., July 1990.Naval Operational Planning, NWP 11 (Rev.
