Leadership and criticism

Leadership is surprisingly similar from organization to organization. When Soldiers enter a training situation or combat their effectiveness depends on communication, coordination, and ability. All three factors are influenced by their leader(s). That's why leaders are responsible for their unit and everything their unit does or fails to do. Criticism flows freely after the fact from evaluators that were only present to evaluate or courts that punish Soldiers for acting like Soldiers in combat. It seems that roles are reversed and leadership is validated by non-leaders offering criticism.

I have noticed a theme that people quick to criticise within organizations are weak. No constructive criticism exists to me. Only plausible alternatives and the willingness to develop people and practices within an organization. You are either a leader or a follower in an organization but you can be in different organizations and have different roles. I hope that leaders will lead and followers will follow. It seems that criticism cripples organizations when people want to jump between roles at their own leizure.
