Examples of Winters' Leadership

Funny how I saw this three years ago in BLC and three months ago in ALC. These have been standard in NCOAs.

❤

I love this man of honor who was an outstanding and inspiring leader, exemplary in every aspect of his life. Bob is my favorite tv show. Watched it 3 times and now watching for the 4th

Sobel suck

The actor playing Lieutenant Colonel Winters, Damian Lewis, also played Soames Forsyth in the Forsyth Saga. If you want to see an actor with range, watch both of his character portrayals.

Oh, and BTW.. Winters was fucking awesome

i only pray that I have 1/10th the leadership of Winters

I think one of he best examples was throwing the smoke, and then running ahead while his men waited on the smoke. This meant that, if the enemy was prepared for him, only he would die while his men would be safe. He put himself in harm's way to protect his men.

My God, I have tears in my eyes watching that scene with Blyth.

“Irregardless” was so well scripted it’s unreal.

Everything about Winters is so inspiring.
What an incredible man. I can see how he brought the best out in his men, he truly cared.

Imagine dike & sobel together lol

You missed the most important leadership trait. Winters questioned about order when it was wrong. Winders was ordered to send "night recon" into heavily guarded enemy territory. First night they captured a low-rank solider but lost its own. Second night, he ordered his men to go to sleep earlier and stayed quiet until next morning pretending the "night recon" was completed. He knew the order from top was a mistake and took the risk of not delivering it.

In every war
In every army
In every country
The search is on to find men like Winters

Very English, Eton educated, Damien Lewis, doing a fine job on the American accent there. Not sure why a Yank couldn't do it though???

whats amazing is winters never called the other side as krauts.. he always called them germans..

war has no room for blythe. it is those men who cause thousands of deaths. No. They are not cowards..

"how its relatable to school leadership" .... only in america

Irregardless is not a word!

David Schwimmer takes on this role perfectly. Sobel was a complex, troubled man who did his best for the US Army . . but well, read about him elsewhere.

You ever notice how in life the people who use the (not) word "irregardless" are always the people who think they're way smarter than they actually are?

As unlikable a character as Sobel was, you really gotta give David Schwimmer credit for showing some very serious acting ability and that he was capable of being more than just "Ross". I've always been impressed by his work on this show.

He had high IQ

"Be a man, take the punishment"

However, taking the punishment for these shitty accusations would be a complete Beta move.

Damiel Lewis is a great actor and I love his portrayal of Winter. Amazing but it hurt me to see David as an ass lol. He played it so well.

He was a kind of leader where his men must follow...

Winters was hell of a leader, performant when afraid, focus, will, cumply his duty....I would like to have half of his courage

There is a difference between management and leadership.

The way he handles Blithe almost makes me tear up. No judgement, no belittlement, just pure encouragement. And of course Blithe starts getting it within seconds.

Fuck. Now im have to watch the entire show again...

Schwimmer* was amazing in this show

If wimters was so good how come he's only a major while Sobel and others became colonels?

Should of been a general

In the end, Sobel ended up out ranking Winters AGAIN. Major Winters / Lieutenant Colonel Sobels... Sobel may not have been a good combat officer but Winters was not a very good training officer either. Each man excelled at his own area of expertise.

If I had a nco like Winters I would’ve stayed in the Army

Sobel “supposedly” changes the latrine inspection by 15 minutes. What a tool. 😊

Is irregardless a word?

it's the IRREGARDLESS for me.. ugh

That scene about collaboration, that's not really collaboration. His team weren't really contributing anything to the plan, they only asked a question to clarify the plan. I would say it's more of a demonstration on communication.

In 2004, I had the opportunity to speak with Major Richard Winters in France during the 60th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy. A truly wonderful man. One of the best field commanders of the 101st Airborne Division during World War II. This is a commander who orders his soldiers to follow him. There are also people like Sobel who only give the order to attack.

There is no such word as “ irregardless “ dumb ass.

Blithe, by the way, lived well past 1948 (which is when the series said he died), stayed in the army, and made Master Sergeant. He died in 1967 while on active duty of a perforated ulcer.

I suspect his straightening out and doing well was at least influenced by Dick Winters.

"irregardless" is not a word

kinda explains 1930's germany

Imagine pulling what sobel did about dick not knowing due to never being told like hes supposed to be a mind reader then saying be a man....bro

A leader gets people to do things they wouldn't normally do. Winters did this as well as any leader. Great man leading great men.

Sobel is the type of office that doesn't return from combat and is fragged.

“Collaborates with his men” example does not show collaboration. Communication, sure.
