Great list, Warren. All things we should try to keep in mind...especially the "while getting smoked" tips. I have a feeling these will come in handy.

One other thing I'd add to the list: communicating information quickly and clearly to your subordinates is a vital skill for any leader to develop. While you can always issue a FRAGO to modify information you've already put out, FRAGOs can tend to complicate things and confuse people as:

a) The FRAGO does not get disseminated; or
b) Multiple FRAGOs lead to frustration among the troops.

I'd recommend that the leadership always take a moment to think through and clearly communicate their decisions before issuing orders. This goes for big things (like developing SOPs) to small things (like communicating the uniform for the day).

Getting it right the first time is always easier than trying to change things mid-stream.
