Storytelling 

 Challenge and Selection     Storytelling is often a tool that when applied correctly , can be leveraged in order to   empathize and connect both laterally and vertically throughout the military ranks . I am a   Team Sergeant in the The Municipality Department of Education specializing in military intelligence . With the   given position , I often find myself exercising storytelling in order to build a deeper   connection and understanding between the soldiers serving underneath my leadership   as well as within myself . Soldiers in the The Municipality Department of Education come from all walks of life :   wealth or low - income , supportive or unsupportive families , racial inequality , different   religious views as well as many other aspects of life . These matters pose a particular   question for myself , “ how can I , as a leader in the The Municipality Department of Education , unite these   soldiers from different upbringings under the collective goal of serving the people of the   United States ? ” An avenue I find myself constantly relying on within my position is   sharing my own upbringing and experiences , whether common or not . This allows   myself to build the emotional ties within my team and show my soldiers a different   perspective in which they might have never recognized .      Application     One of the very first and one of the most important lessons I have learned upon earning   the rank of Sergeant was that soldiers in the Army , just like everyone else in the world ,   goes through their own personal problems . Moreover , how important it is then as a   leader within the Jio to learn how to apply empathy while   communicating with those soldiers . This has allowed myself to share my own   experiences that I have lived through and how I had overcome such experiences .      Life effects everyone without warning and given the extra stress of the military lifestyle   ( e.g. , overseas deployments , long work hours , and high operational tempos ) some   soldiers within the military ranks can develop unseen mental - health issues .   Understanding the signs of depression and anxiety can help identify when a soldier or   any person is going through a difficult time , and for myself it did . Back when I was   working in 10th Special Forces Group ( Airborne ) I had a soldier that was regularly   outstanding . He always maintained his discipline and exceeded every standard that was   put upon him . However , there was a sudden change in his work ethic and strayed away   from his normal demeanor at work . He was then late constantly and when at work he   always seemed exhausted . A few days went by from since I first recognized his change   in behavior when I offered to take him out to the local cantina for lunch ; hoping that I   could talk to him about what was going on . Once we finished our waters and   sandwiches , we talked about his performance at work . He then revealed to me that his   father committed suicide just a few days ago and was severally affected by the loss . For   myself , this topic was extremely difficult to talk about openly . However , I built up the   courage and told him that while growing up my father tried multiple times to end his life ,   and one time in front of my sister and me . 

 Even though our situations were not entirely the same , we built an instant connection . I   expressed how difficult it was being the only son in the family and seeing my father   attempt to no longer be there with us . I told him about the months of family - counseling   we sat through and how I saw my mother weeping day - in and out while my father was   at the hospital . However , I then sat back in my chair at the table and explained how   through hardships I learned more about myself than I ever had . I realized how much I   loved my family and how valuable the memories I made when I was younger were , and   that no matter what he will experience in life , that he will always have those beautiful   memories of him and his father .      Insight     Though this situation was very hard for my soldier and myself , reexamining the   conversation and the emotions expressed both ways I have learned two lessons in   respect to storytelling . First , even when you see and communicate with someone every   day you do not have the possibility of fully knowing their complete well - being . As a   leader I need to constantly try to understand the ethnography of the soldiers serving   underneath me . Being able to understand the background and the experiences each   soldier has battled growing up will allow me to communicate uniquely to each one   individually and as a team ( e.g. , how can I motivate them to complete the task at hand ,   what direction I need to provide to them , and then ultimately how I can I respect them   equally as human beings ) . Second , was understanding the difference of sympathy and   empathy and when to apply each communication method . During this situation I came   to understand that being able to empathize with my soldier allowed myself to recognize   the root of his performance issues and how they were greater than just a soldier   deciding to lose his discipline . Being able to tell my story from what I experienced   growing up out of empathy for my soldier gave me the opportunity to build a connection   within my team and help him recover and grow from the situation .     Approach     Upon reflection of the situation in which I exercised storytelling in order to empathize   with my soldier ’s loss of his father , I recognize that no matter how I examine the   situation I would not have reacted differently . However , this does not imply that there   is n’t anything to learn from the situation that I could apply in the future . Now   understanding the value of storytelling , I could enable my soldiers more efficiently by   effectively being able to communicate to my soldiers the purpose of each task I   disseminate on to them . I could tell a story of a soldier ’s valor doing the same exact task   that was disseminated . This would inspire motivation within my team no matter the task ,   because they would then realize the importance of the task in which I have trusted to   them .
