Leaving a Leadership Legacy - Marshall, Commitment


General George C. Marshall

General George C. Marshall believed that "only by embracing candor, selflessness, commitment, integrity and courage can a leader achieve the goals of effective leadership."

In George C. Marshall Foundation's "George C. Marshall: Legacy of Leadership: Chapter 4 - Commitment" we see Marshall's commitment to the goals. He was a leader who gave 100% to the cause and asked that his superiors do the same. He stood up for what was right and not for what looked right.

Are you committed to achieving the goals of the organization? Do your values and principles conflict with those of your superiors and the organization? Do you need a mentor to help you work through the struggles? If so, send a message to BLM_FA_Leadership_Feedback@blm.gov.
