Our vision of leading is linked directly to our common vision of warfighting, which needs leaders devoted to leading, capable of independent and bold action, who are willing and eager to assume new and sometimes daunting responsibilities, and willing to take selfless risks because the Corps must succeed. This guidance and the objectives of Marine corps leadership inspired the framework for this lesson. IMPORTANCE OF COACHING CONT.
