Bearing is the way you conduct and carry yourself. Your manner should reflect alertness, competence, confidence, and control. An officer who exhibits bearing is one who is in total control of his emotions, posture, and general outward appearance. Discipline and self-respect are the keys to bearing. Since as the common Marine Corps phrase goes, âperception is reality,â some people will form an opinion of your qualities based only on shallow impressions.
These five qualities come from Kouzes and Posnerâs research into leadership that was done for the book The Leadership Challenge. Your skill at exhibiting these five leadership qualities is strongly correlated with peopleâs desire to follow your lead. Exhibiting these traits will inspire confidence in your leadership. Not exhibiting these traits or exhibiting the opposite of these traits will decrease your leadership influence with those around you. It is important to exhibit, model and display these traits. Simply possessing each trait is not enough; you have to display it in a way that people notice.
