Warren Bennis, one of the leadership gurus, said: "Leadership is like beauty, difficult to define but easy to perceive when you see it."(Carreño, 2011) And this is the main problem proffessional soldiers encounter, that we talk about something that is difficult to define and what we don't all understand the same. You perceive it when you have a boss who commands with ease, that when he speaks he has that charisma that makes us look at him carefully and follow him in what he orders us, especially because we are convinced that it is what should be done, but it is certainly not a characteristic that all the bosses that we have met have, some because they are shy others because they are not accustomed to command troops or feel themselves more comfortable in teaching positions or as analysts. Commanding men and women is a difficult task, requires a lot of dedication, being close to your subordinates, knowing what are the dreams, challenges or problems of those people you are addressing, knowing that each person has a different attitude towards the life and that on many occasions you will be required to bring them up and give them a great motivation so that in the key moments they are one hundred percent involved in the mission and not with their heads in their own troubles.
