Leadership style that Lt. Col. Yaron exhibited When Lieutenant Colonel was Yaron was called upon to volunteer as the operation commander in the operation mission to evacuate Israeli Settlement in the Gaza strip, he led the design engineering unit in the Air Force. This proved to be a bigger challenge to him despite the fact that earlier n his career he had served as a deputy battalion commander in the Paratroopers. He referred to this as a personal challenge and lately accepted the responsibility. Yaron is in this context portrayed as a very flexible person who does not stick to his guns whatever what. When a challenge comes up he takes it. He seemed not to have a preferred style. He comes up with different approaches that suit the various needs of different situations. He is flexible and adaptable to situations that arise. He can recognize different demands of each situation, and use a leadership style that gives optimum success (Avolio, Walumbwa, & Webber, 2009). The battalion that he is to command, that makes part of the Air Force's Blue Brigade, has to be built from scratch. This is a responsibility that he takes up immediately. This further exemplifies Yaron's flexibility (Avolio, Walumbwa, & Webber, 2009). Yaron also believes in engaging in consultations. In fact, he encouraged battalion company commanders to initiate ongoing meetings with their soldiers.

Amidst all this he still managed to inspire his followers to do more than they would have expected to do during the process of operation. Before carrying out the actual operation he had to sit down and strategize by conducting searches to locate relevant information on the topic of evacuation putting the Algiers and city of Yamit scenarios into context. In his own wisdom he found that these cases were not relevant and therefore acted upon the commands own healthy intuition. He aligned the interest of the Israeli Defense Forces with that of the individual members of his unit. He in this regard impressed on his officers to embrace the government's mission of ensuring that the damage incurred during the evacuation exercise is minimal. He had the capability to inspire and motivate officers who were working under him. He was capable of inspiring change because of his idealized influence, individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspiration (Mind Tools, 2013). He maximized mutual interest and restraint in the process of exercising his power. He broadened and elevated the interest of his officers. He knew that the operational would emotionally sap the soldiers and therefore coined the slogan " with determination and sensitivity" to ensure that soldiers use force when required and at the same time…
