Commandments of Management

Excerpted from the NCO Creed.


1. The two basic responsibilities are "accomplish the mission" and "look after my people"
2. I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient
3. All employees are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership
4. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and punishment
5. Superiors will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine
6. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders
7. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my moral courage
