There are many other leaders like himself within the organization (Schoomaker, 2006). Everyone in the organization is an indispensable element in the chain of command, whether as a leader or as a subordinate. A good subordinate is a potentially good leader. Both soldiers and civilians at any time are to behave and think as leaders and followers at the same time. In their experience, they are aware that leaders are not always designated.

Without terms being clearly defined, it opens the door for confusion and misconceptions as to the meanings of
