caption: Nothing beats a good book. This last chapter actually is a mistake I made when I first became and NCO. I had a problem with people asking me why they had to do something. This I felt was part of the Air Force being kinder and gentler on its Airman. The truth is I was the Problem. There is no reason you can't take the time to explain the Why to your people. This will translate to them becoming more invested and accomplishing the mission even better than you expected.
