Several clichéd images come to mind when the words 'Marine Corps leadership' are invoked— drill instructors with campaign hats pulled low, prowling the squad bay like a school of frenzied sharks; a lazy-eyed gunnery sergeant, growling his displeasure at the poor cleanliness of the barracks; a vigorous counseling session at a sergeant major's desk following nonjudicial punishment proceedings. Rarely does it conjure an image of a Marine actually embodying one of the 14 leadership traits or demonstrating one of the 11 principles of Marine Corps leadership.
