Quotes by WO1 J C Lord, RSM 3 PARA and AcSM RMAS

"I agree with Emerson when he said, “Trust men and they will be true to you. Treat them greatly and they will show themselves to be great.” Its jolly easy to say that and its jolly easy to think that all you’ve got to do is give an order and, we go out and they get on with it. Well, it’s not so, because to do that, you’ve got to train with them, you’ve got to get to know one another, you’ve got to give of your best, and set the standards. Then you can trust them and they will trust you. You treat men greatly by briefing them properly or working with them or bringing them along in the right lines. Now that, I firmly believe, should be the approach of soldiers and leaders throughout all armies and all services."
