Coaching: Importance - CORRECT ANSWER - The Marine Corps' vision of
leading is less concerned with rank, self-identity, recognition, or privilege than

determination to persevere. 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.

individual provides a fellow Marine with the benefit of their experience.

unit leaders truly get to know and understand their Marines. By using a
recommended goals form or a locally produced version, documenting these
SMART goals sets a standard of assessment. Additionally, leaders have the
opportunity to ensure these goals are balanced against all other competing factors
of their Marines' time. The foundational key to setting and meeting these goals
centers on the fact that the Marine is in control of achieving them. If adjustments to
existing goals need to be made, leaders are involved in reinforcing or advising the
adjustments.
