About

leaders will be commanders, but all commanders must be leaders; for in a sense, leadership is the proper exercise of command. The company commander who commands only with his authority will never realize the full potential of his company. To realize this potential, the company commander exercises the responsibility and authority vested in him when he is given command of his unit and at the same time applies the principles of leadership in creating a proficient, well disciplined company possessing high morale and esprit de corps. c. Everything a unit does in combat is directed toward the accomplishment of the mission. The company commander must not become so involved in planning as to subordinate his actions in the execution of the plan. A poor plan well executed has a better chance for success than a good plan poorly executed.
