West Point Military Academy can cultivate so many business talents, thanks to the three secrets of leadership, execution and personality charm.
Leadership, in the eyes of West Point people, the key of leadership is not to let others simply obey orders, but to guide and motivate subordinates, so that they can keep pace with your thinking and ideas and work hard with you for the cause. Lieutenant Colonel Todd Henshaw of the leadership training program at West Point Military Academy pointed out that a good leader should know how to maintain the value of the team and make it add value through team building.
Execution, execution means that unless there is something wrong with the order itself, it must be executed without any excuse. At west point, soldiers can only have four answers when answering orders: "yes, sir"; "No, sir"; "I don't know, sir"; No excuses, sir.
Personality charm, personality charm refers to human virtues, such as honesty. The honor creed of West Point Military Academy is: "Never cheat or steal, and never tolerate anyone's behavior." There was once a female soldier who went to take a nap in violation of the regulations. After being discovered, she was severely punished, but the punishment was not because she broke the rules, but because she slept for 30 minutes, but it is said that she only slept for 15 minutes.
