leadership climate of the unit and developing disciplined and cohesive units. This sets the
parameters within which command will be exercised and, therefore,sets the tone for social and
duty relationships within the command. (1) Commanders and other leaders committed to the
professional Army ethic promote a positive environment. If leaders show loyalty to their soldiers,
the Army, and the Nation, they earn the loyalty of their soldiers. If leaders consider their soldiers'
needs and care for their well-being, and if they demonstrate genuine concern, these leaders build
a positive command climate. (2) Duty is obedient and diSCiplined performance. Soldiers with a

sense of duty accomplish tasks given them, seize opportunities for self-improvement, and accept
responsibility from their superiors. Soldiers, leader and led alike, Work together to accomplish the
I ':lission rathe than feed their self-interest. . -r--.-----------~_"7----­
