Too hard? Eh too bad

jack's levelheaded i think, but sometimes you have to wonder.
he has the abilitly to make tough decisions, and the consequences of these decisions are usually the best for most possible parties. ya have to respect him for that.
i haven't seen many recent eps, but do you think daniel and his big heart are rubbing off on him? or maybe the writers want us to see more of what goes on in jack's head when he's making a tough decision, and it isn't a lapse in his ability.

when do you all think jack might be too old and broken (physically) so that he can't lead a field team anymore?

I think Jack's taking more notice of Daniel now, and he's starting to respect him more as well.

Leadership

Jack leads by example. He's up front and in there with his people, not behind a desk. He shares equally, if not more so, in their risks - he does *not* lead from behind, but from point.

You can trust him to do everything he can for you, but also know he'll go for the mission if that's what has to be done. He won't sacrifice you for the easy way out, but if you have to 'go down' you know he's tried every other way he can think of.

He will admit to his mistakes [not all the time, but a lot more than some CO's I worked with in some pretty hairy situations]. He listens to his people [at least at base... sometimes it's harder to do in the field at a snap]. He sees his command as 'his people', not just 'mission assets'.

He does not 'dump' on those below him when things go to hell, even if they weren't his fault. he takes the heat and then passes it on as any good troop commander should. and whe it goes well, even it if was solely because of him, he makes sure the kudos go to his people, not him.

As a CO, I would follow Colonel Jack O'Neill just about anywhere.

He doesn't freak out when things happen, and he doesn't take his role to seriously .

 

[maconeill2001]

I think that his team trusts him because he cares about them a lot. And he respects them as they are. He's really responsable too.

I can't exactly say what makes him like he is, I just know I , too, would follow him anywhere; not because he's gorgous! Because he is who he is.

jack is great leader because.
He knows how to lead people, but
he also listen to then.
Now he may not always understand what they
tell but then thats Jack for you!!!
