this leadership style is ineffective if used by a leader who is withdrawn or who does not care about the mission at hand as demonstrated by their lack of supervision.transition of styles:to exercise good leadership, a marine must be consistent; however, leadership styles will vary depending on the amount of authority the leader decides to use or delegate, based on the situation and the demonstrated capabilities of the subordinate.no one style applies for all situations.the leader must be able to assess the situation and have the flexibility to change styles when necessary.sticking with one style can erode morale or hamper the leaders ability to control a situation.the ultimate goal is to delegate or decentralize authority, but it is a two-way street:• the leader must train and develop the subordinates.• the subordinates must demonstrate professional capabilities to earn it.
the decision making processdecision making:decisionmaking is the mental process that results in the selection of a course of action from several alternative solutions.the human mind naturally observes, orients, decides, and acts with every action incorporated into our day. it is a subconscious process similar to the natural respiratory pause taught in the fundamentals of marksmanship.mastering this mental process will allow you to improve your decisionmaking ability just as mastering the respiratory pause allows you to consistently hit your target at 500 yards (and beyond).education and experience play important roles in the decision cycle as they provide an increase in the number of possible solutions.the mental process:john boyd first identified the four-step mental process known as the decision cycle, ooda loop, or boyd cycle.the process applies to any two-sided conflict from hand-to- hand combat to large-scale military engagements.the process is used to generate better decisions and faster responses. it is proven that the side that consistently completes the cycle faster gains an advantage that increases with each cycle.although this decision cycle has been implemented in the command and control component of warfighting, it is a valuable tool in developing the individual decisionmaking process and can be utilized to understand how we make decisions or analyze the decisions of others.the loop (observeorientdecideact)observe:we take in information about our position, our surroundings, and our enemy. sometimes we actively seek the information; sometimes it is thrust upon us.orient:next we orient; making certain estimates, assumptions, analyses, and judgments about the situation creatinga mental image. in other words, we try to figure out what the situation means to us.decide:based on our orientation, we decide what to do. this decision can take the form of immediate action or a more organized, deliberate plan.
