Let's be fair : It’s not only the US military that struggles to comprehend that Western military structure, doctrine, tactics and training cannot simply be “replicated”. From Bosnia to Afghanistan, all Western armies had similar problems with their training missions.“Building up” a foreign military is a very difficult and delicate process. It’s not possible to simply copy our concept about the role and structure of the military to other nations :US soldier training the Iraqi military (military. com)First of all, we have to get rid of one misunderstanding: It is often heard, mostly by US politicians and “analysts”, that the Iraqi soldier lacks morale and discipline and some US officials even stated that these soldiers “lack the will to fight”.Nothing could be more wrong. The latest victories of Iraqi military units against ISIS show that under the right circumstances, the Iraqi soldier is as good as any other soldier in the region.The real problems are structural, deeply rooted and cannot be blamed completely on the Iraqis:The Iraqi army has been structured the same way most NATO armies are structured. This “conventional” model with divisions and brigades only works if a military is disciplined and has a functioning logistics system. These preconditions do not exist in Iraq.To fight insurgents most militaries rely on smaller, decentralized units and Special Forces. Our “conventional” system however, was developed during the Cold War to fight an heavily armored conventional enemy. Therefore it is not suitable to combat ISIS.Iraq is corrupted to the core. The corruption is so ingrained that when combating it, one has to be very careful not to cut off some living tissue. Most government employees cannot survive on their meager wages and are therefore depending on “secondary incomes”. If you cut them off they will either leave their job or will start stealing or embezzling money to support their families. Fighting corruption can make things worse.Of course, corruption in the military has to be addressed, but this is an extremely long process and in the meantime the war goes on. Therefore corruption, although not accepted, has to be taken into account when providing the Iraqi armed forces with military goods. Unfortunately this hasn't happened.The relations between officers and troops in the Iraqi military are very different from what we are used to see in Western armies. Iraqi officers often regard their soldiers as lower life forms. In such an environment one cannot apply modern infantry tactics without making some adaptations.In the end the poor performance of the Iraqi army doesn't say much about the US military, but it says a lot about US military planners and analysts. These people are most often non military personnel and were contracted. US military personnel sent to training missions in Iraq had their orders and guidelines which they couldn't ignore. They voiced their concerns and filed reports which were unfortunately not taken seriously.There is no way around reforming the Iraqi armed forces, but it's doubtful that the US administration has the will and the patience to go through with this process. To build up a foreign army it is not enough just to throw money around and send training missions.Further reading: A former insurgent's guide to ISIS and Iraq | GRI

The first step would be to inculcate it as a part of the organization culture and introduced to employees of all levels during the Induction program itself. The organization also needs to ensure that employees are provided the required resources in form of training programs, defined metrics and mentorship programs to foster the required development and growth.A Manager in his individual capacity can :-Clearly explain team members' roles and help them understand how their responsibilities connect to other team members' roles and to stakeholder needs.Align their team's performance objectives to departmental goals and the company strategy.Provide agile and customized communication to employees using formal agreements and informal or less structured check-ins, as needed, to realign and modify expectations.Reinforce how and why each person's contribution is fundamental to the team's success and ultimately to the organization's sustainability.Creating a trusting environment and encouraging employees' development

Okay, gonna burst some balloons here. Are you a conservative who longs for the good ol’ days? When I was kid, growing up in the ‘60s, most other kids I knew had dads who worked and moms who stayed home. Now I grew up in Los Angeles, so the number of working mothers was significantly above average compared to rest of the country, but still, most moms I knew ran the household while dad worked. The jobs dads had provided enough money to pay for the house, a vacation once a year, college for the kids at some point, some sort of decent retirement plan and healthcare was part of the employment package. Those were the good ol’ days right? Well, they were if you were white, but that’s another story.Why were those old days better than today? Back then things worked like they’re supposed to. You know, like they were always meant to be. Today everyone, both liberals and conservatives, talk about how the current mess we’re in is some kind of dip, a temporary thing, something to be gotten through before things go back to normal, back to the way they used to be. But that period of middle class growth after WWII was the aberration. The good ol’ days were not normal. Throughout history the wealthy have always exploited those below them on the economic ladder. Any change in that dynamic had to be fought for. And it was usually bloody.All those things old white guys like me pine for were brought to us by people who had to fight for them. Those things were brought to us by unions. Here’s a list of things they fought to brings us-WeekendsAll Breaks at Work, including your Lunch BreaksPaid VacationFMLASick LeaveSocial SecurityMinimum WageCivil Rights Act/Title VII (Prohibits Employer Discrimination)8-Hour Work DayOvertime PayChild Labor LawsOccupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA)40 Hour Work WeekWorker's Compensation (Worker's Comp)Unemployment InsurancePensionsWorkplace Safety Standards and RegulationsEmployer Health Care InsuranceCollective Bargaining Rights for EmployeesWrongful Termination LawsAge Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967Whistleblower Protection LawsEmployee Polygraph Protect Act (Prohibits Employer from using a lie detector test on an employee)Veteran's Employment and Training Services (VETS)Compensation increases and Evaluations (Raises)Sexual Harassment LawsAmericans With Disabilities Act (ADA)Holiday PayEmployer Dental, Life, and Vision InsurancePrivacy RightsPregnancy and Parental LeaveMilitary LeaveThe Right to StrikePublic Education for ChildrenEqual Pay Acts of 1963 & 2011 (Requires employers pay men and women equally for the same amount of work)Laws Ending Sweatshops in the United States*If you have any of these things as an employee you can thank liberals. If you don’t have things on this list you can thank conservatives. You see, before liberals formed unions and fought for these things employers milked their workers for all they were worth and paid them as little as they could get away with. That was how it had always been. The wealthy exploit. They exploited peasants before they exploited workers and exploited slaves before they exploited peasants. This history of exploitation is well documented. It’s not hard to find confirmation of all this on the web or in dusty tomes. You can’t really make a credible case against it.After the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt worked with progressives to restructure how our economy worked. Then, after WWII, liberal Democrats** and moderate Republicans finessed our position as victors in that global conflict and brought unprecedented prosperity to working and middle class Americans. But the wealthy old guard didn’t like this development and worked tirelessly to get back to the days of unhindered exploitation. It started under President Nixon and hit high gear with The Reagan Revolution. Union busting became a top priority. It’s not hard to see a parallel between shrinking unions, stagnant wages and disappearing benefits, since 1980.So the good ol’ days Trump voters yearn for, the America that used to be great, was brought to you by progressive economic policies pushed by liberals and supported by moderates. One has to admire the political acumen of the Senators and House Reps currently owned by The Establishment. While bringing about the reinstitution of age old economic exploitation, they’ve been able to get the victims to blame each other. Millions of voters blamed liberals, minorities and immigrants for their economic woes and have supported the very policies that hurt them. And they’ve done so for decades. We liberals have written off these voters rather than acknowledging the fact that their anger is justified. It’s the old divide-and-conquer bullshit. It’s old because it works.Is liberalism better than conservatism? Well, I’m a liberal who thinks some things should be conserved. Things like the environment. I’ve supported the preservation of old buildings rather than see them become parking lots. I believe in the importance of family. I maintain friendships through thick and thin. What does that make me? I’ll tell you. It makes me an American.*Thank you Daily Kos.**Not all Democrats are, nor always were, liberal. Back in the day many Dems were anything but progressive or even moderate.
