I note I'm closing in on 900,000 followers. As is my tradition when I'm near boundaries, to say thank you I will.

- Donate £900 to a charity chosen by whomever is my 900,000th follower.
- Donate £900 to a charity chosen by a randomly picked existing follower.

3 yrs ago Airtrooper Daniel Pope from @4RegimentAAC was diagnosed with cancer. His brave fight inspired his Regt, friends and colleagues & epitomised the Army‘s values we all aspire to uphold. He lost his fight on 16 Sep 2016 aged 21. Never forgotten and always in our thoughts.

Ok #MilTwitter, here’s your advice on assuming command! Thank you for the (still incoming) thoughts: this has been far more productive than I expected. If you don’t ask, you don’t get!

@TheMaverickSgt @LowEndLeader @Fromtheranks @TheSectComd An example I can relate to. Certainly guilty of the “Quick way” where subordinate has less ownership. Agree an early barrier is often the reluctance to do that little extra.

Great read, thanks!

[Phill Birkett @BirkettPhill]

@dan_snelson @PatDonahoeArmy In my early days, I’m aiming to expose my team to such reading. Would be interesting to hear what serving NCOs have found worked/didn’t work for them when being briefed on leadership. 2/2

[Phill Birkett @BirkettPhill]

@dan_snelson @PatDonahoeArmy We run Regimental level NCO development days once a moth. I then often share “quick reads” from places such as @wavellroom & @ @thearmyleader then discuss informally with anyone who has an opinion on it! 1/2

[Another Junior Officer @another_2lt]

An attempt to contribute to growing mil twitter presence, engaging with discourses on leadership in the modern Army. Currently a reservist 2Lt with much to learn, but also (one hopes!) much to offer.

[Royal Engineer Corps SM @CorpsSM]

Great read Sapper McLelland from @CO24Cdo👇🏻The physical impact of taking time to talk & listen to soldiers/people should never be underestimated. Enjoyed your 6 basic rules of #Leadership ...@matthewsyed if you have time, please read from a very talented young soldier ??

[Phill Birkett @BirkettPhill]

@LowEndLeader It should be used in moderation, I think it does have a place within today’s modern world. Restrictions on its use out of hours for “work chat” should certainly enforced. Too often we see the embarrassment of units on FYB etc due to negligent use!

[thearmyleader.co.uk @thearmyleader]

85% of inmates at Louisiana State Penitentiary die there. So how can they teach you something about #leadership, how to #leadbyexample and why you need to be a social #rolemodel?

@larisamlbrown @hthjones @pinstripedline @DavidWilletts3 @maj_fox Published on the front page with clear disregard to how she may be viewed by both peers and subordinates inc completely false claims that she has received a “special” return invite create opportunity for “special treatment” accusations.

[Phill Birkett @BirkettPhill]

She would probably be better than me!
