Building a Relationship With Your Boss in the Chain of Command

In the military, if I wanted to have influence over my boss, over my commander in chief, would I outwardly criticize them? No. Because I don't want to be surrounded by yes, man. As far as the soldiers mentality of not criticizing the commander in chief,. I actually don't agree that that's a soldier's mentality. The soldier should question their leadership. And now should they do it tactfully? Absolutely. If you listen to what I'm saying, you can form your own opinion. And I would rather have you do that because that's going to be stronger than some opinion that I tried to force down your throat., he said.
