The lesson chapter If you feel confident in your answers in the

where the questions will be a little harder.
If you want to learn more, let'sdive into the lesson chapter.
We will ask the question again, give you the answer, and then
explain why that is the correct answer and what it actually

(03:16):
means for you. The soldier question one.
What is leadership? Leadership is the process of
influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and
motivation to accomplish the mission and improve the
organization. Leadership in the Army is the
process of influencing people byproviding purpose, direction,

(03:36):
and motivation to accomplish themission and improve the
organization. Think of a leader as a compass,
helping others understand not just what to do, but why it's
important and how to do it effectively.
Purpose inspires commitment, direction ensures clarity, and
motivation energizes action, especially when the mission is
difficult or dangerous. A helpful way to remember the

(03:58):
definition is with the acronym PDM.
Purpose, Direction, Motivation Question 2.
What are the Army values? Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless
service, honor, integrity, Personal courage.
The Army values form the ethicalfoundation of all leadership and

(04:19):
conduct in the Army. They are oldership, loyalty,
duty, respect, selfless service,honor, integrity, and personal
courage. These seven values are more than
words. They guide decisions and
behavior in peace and combat. Leaders must model them
consistently to build trust withsubordinates and uphold the Army

(04:40):
ethic. Question three.
What is toxic leadership? Toxic leadership is a
combination of self-centered attitudes, motivations, and
behaviors that have adverse effects on subordinates, the
organization and mission performance.
Toxic leadership is characterized by self-centered
attitudes, motivations and behaviors that have a harmful

(05:02):
effect on subordinates, the unitand the mission.
Toxic leaders might still achieve short term results, but
they undermine morale, trust, and long term effectiveness.
It's like using a strong chemical that cleans a surface
but corrodes the foundation. Healthy leadership builds people
up. Toxic leadership tears them
down. Question 4.

(05:26):
What does loyalty mean? According to ADP, 6 to 22 bear
true faith and allegiance to theConstitution of the United
States, the Army, your unit, andother soldiers.
The 1st order of loyalty is to the Constitution and the ideals
upon which it is based. One cannot remain loyal to the
Constitution by being loyal to those who violate it.

(05:49):
To create strong organizations, superiors, subordinates, and
peers must embrace loyalty. One way that individuals
demonstrate loyalty is by upholding all of the Army values
with those values as a foundation.
Loyalty is a two way exchange. Leaders earn loyalty and
subordinates expect loyalty in return.

(06:10):
Leaders earn subordinates loyalty by training them well,
treating them fairly, and livingthe Army values.
Subordinates demonstrate loyaltyby working hard for their
leaders and being as good as they can be at their jobs.
Loyalty and trust enable the successful day-to-day operations
of all organizations. Question 5.

(06:32):
What does duty mean? According to ADP 6 to 22,
Fulfill your obligations. All Soldiers and DA civilians
strive to do their best. Duty extends beyond law,
regulation, and orders. Army professionals exercise
initiative when they fulfill thepurpose, not merely the letter

(06:52):
of received orders. Leaders take responsibility for
their actions and those of theirsubordinates.
It is inherent in their duty to the larger organization, the
Army and the nation. Conscientious leaders and
subordinates possess a sense of responsibility to apply their
best efforts to accomplish the mission.
This guides soldiers and DA civilians to do what is right to

(07:13):
the best of their ability. Question 6.
What does respect mean accordingto ADP 6 to 22, Treat people as
they should be treated. The Army values reinforce that
all people have dignity and worth and must be treated with
respect. The nation was founded on the
ideal that all are created equal.

(07:35):
In the Army, each is judged by the content of their character.
Army leaders should consistentlyfoster a climate that treats
everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of
ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, creed, or
religious belief. Fostering a positive climate
begins with a leader's personal example.

(07:56):
Leaders treat others, including adversaries, with respect.
Question 7. What does selfless service mean?
According to ADP 6 to 22, put the welfare of the nation, the
army, and your subordinates before your own.
Selfless service means doing what is right for the nation,
the army, the organization, and subordinates.

(08:19):
While the needs of the Army and the nation should come first,
selfless service does not imply leaders should neglect their
families or themselves. Unselfish, humble leaders set
themselves apart as teammates who are approachable,
trustworthy, and open to follower, input and advice.
Selfless leaders aspire to attain goals for the greater
good beyond their own interests and benefits.

(08:43):
Question 8. What does honor mean?
According to ADP 6 to 22 live upto the Army values.
Living honorably in line with the Army values sets an example
for every member of the organization and contributes to
an organization's positive climate and morale.
How leaders conduct themselves and meet their obligations to

(09:05):
the mission, other people, and the organization defines them as
people and leaders. Question 9.
What does integrity mean? According to ADP 6 to 22, do
what is right legally and morally.
Leaders of integrity consistently follow honorable
principles. The Army relies on leaders who

(09:25):
are honest in Word and deed. Leaders of integrity do the
right thing because their character permits nothing less.
To instill the Army values in others, leaders must demonstrate
them as an Army leader and a person of integrity.
Personal values should reinforcethe Army values.
Question 10 What does selfless service mean?

(09:48):
According to ADP, 6 to 22 face fear, danger, or adversity.
Personal courage is not the absence of fear, it is the
ability to put fear aside and dowhat is necessary or right.
Personal courage takes 2 forms, physical and moral.
Effective leaders demonstrate both.

(10:09):
Physical courage requires overcoming fears of bodily harm
and doing 1's duty. It triggers bravery that allows
a soldier to take risks in combat in spite of the fear of
injury or death. For leaders, mission
accomplishment may demand risking their own lives or those
of soldiers and justly taking the lives of enemies.
