>> VALUES AND LEADERSHIP
- correct answer- If a Marine is left without any guidance or supervision, then personal values will
determine what that Marine will or will not do.
Leaders must provide guidance and supervision to inspire and reinforce organizational values to
have an effect on the behavior of our Marines.
>> IDENTIFYING WITH PEERS VICE UNIT
- correct answer- When there is a breakdown in vertical cohesion within the parent command,
Marines only identify with their peers and not with their unit. Marines in a group or section are
only loyal to those Marines within the immediate group.
>> IMPACT ON UNIT SUCCESS
- correct answer- Some Marines fail to make the connection between group objectives and
command mission. Failing to understand the impact they have on the operation of the unit
causes a disassociation from the unit and the Marine Corps.
>> INSUFFICIENT CHALLENGES
- correct answer- Many Marines joined the Corps to be challenged to the fullest extent of their
capabilities. Disillusionment occurs if their units have low individual expectations.
>> INEFFECTIVE MENTORS
- correct answer- When new Marines check into a unit, they are looking to others to confirm
accepted behaviors. Without a proper mentor, a Marine may choose a negative role model
simply because of a dominant personality.
>> LACK OF MARINE CORPS STANDARDS
- correct answer- A witnessed deviation from, and a lack of adherence to, required standards
leaves a negative opinion of both the command and the leadership. If Marines are continually

exposed to such an environment, their standards will begin to suffer as their expectations and
sense of accomplishment dwindle.
>> INSUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE
- correct answer- Discipline is degraded when commands relax standards, whether traditional
customs or published regulations. All Marines are responsible for and capable of enforcing good
discipline.
>> CONFLICT RESOLUTION
- correct answer- The best and most important way to resolve conflicting values is through
leadership by example.
>> A Marine's sense of pride in who they are stems from a dedication to our ________.
