Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this important Army publication is a tool which focuses on the vital linkage between the individual soldier and his or her role as a member of a military team. That linkage lies in the definition of Consideration of Others, which reads: "Consideration of Others is those actions that indicate a sensitivity to and regard for the feelings and needs of others and an awareness of the impact of one's own behavior on them..." This definition emphasizes that ultimately Consideration of Others involves the awareness, the actions, and the responsibility of the individual soldier. The capability of each of your soldiers to recognize that their attitudes, actions, and words affect others in the unit; and their willingness to take responsibility for those attitudes, actions, and words—to the point of changing them when necessary—is what Consideration of Others is all about.

This publication contains two sections. The first section covers the eight key areas. Each key area is defined and set in a military context. Finally, suggested lesson plans pertaining to that key area are referenced. The final section contains the suggested lesson plans themselves. They are NOT intended to become the sole or mandatory text for classes in the areas they cover. They may be used exactly as written; or as a starting point for local trainers to use when developing materials tailored to your specific command.
Your soldiers have a potential for excellence unmatched by any other group of soldiers in America's history. They will not reach that potential without learning to assume responsibility for how their individual actions affect others. Consideration of Others is your means to teach them this vital professional and personal truth—that responsibility is the key to both personal and organizational excellence. This truth will develop your soldiers into leaders of character—not only during their time in uniform but throughout their lives.
