In managing the organization, respect, teamwork and working in harmony are the prime
elements, which determines the effectiveness, efficiency, as well as, performance of the
organization in executing its duties, particularly in the American Armed Forces. Through,
respect, teamwork, and working with harmony, directives can properly be conveyed by the
senior officers to commanders and thus offer success in implementing duties for each
commander to understand when, who, what, as well as, how the duty should be conducted.
Respecting oneself and others is one of the prime values of any army. Therefore, any of
you should not be surprised of my commitment to diversity and equity that offer the moral
supporting of our leadership issue and operational capability. Therefore, every commander at
each level should set outstanding standards and ensure that everybody lives by the prime vitality
to respect fully everyone within the army, as well as, those they daily interact with. In fact, the
army views diversity and equity as vital components in the maintenance and generation of
operational effectiveness and not for motives of political correctness. Everyone should treat
individuals, as they ought to be treated since within the soldier's code; everyone pledges to
handle others with respect and dignity while waiting others to reciprocate.
Respect is what enables us to acknowledge the best in other individuals. Therefore,
everyone should respect while trusting that everyone has executed their roles and satisfied their
duty. Respecting one another also increases the ability of the team to achieve readiness. As
opined by Knouse and Dansby (2009), a team attains readiness when every member performs his
or her work safely, on time, according to requirement, within budget, as well as, as expected.
Respect for one another will also ensure that everyone gets the job done in the correct way and
attaining the proper results. Therefore, to attain team readiness, every one of you must have the
correct knowledge, the capacity to execute and display the correct behavior.

Teamwork is another component that each of you must instill to ensure diversity in the
workplace. Teamwork will ensure that every one of you is safe because when everybody cares
about each other, few will bet injured. On the same note, communicating and working together
implies that the military operations are easy to plan and coordinate. Teamwork also saves time
since the group performs the work that was to be done by an individual thereby saving time.
Accordingly, Salas, Milham, and Bowers (2003) attested that working as a team implies shared
responsibility. More often than not, being a commander or any a member of the army can be
emotionally overwhelming, however, working as a team implies that you are not by yourself but
rather surrounded by individuals who have faced the same endured the same situation as you.
This camaraderie and support are vital in the military.
A team that works in harmony can bring a huge difference regarding the level of success
in their performance. Where commanders and members of the army are not pleased with
working environment, it results into high labor turnover, poor timekeeping, as well as, high
degrees of absenteeism. In addition, lack of harmony in the teamwork can result into slackness of
the officers, poor working, and intentional time wasting, as well as, a similar practice. Therefore,
working in harmony, as teams will results into high labor turnover, poor timekeeping, high-quality
works, adherence to the time among others.
In conclusion, from the discussion presented herein, it suffices to conclude that getting
diversity and equality right results into the generation of correctly trained, as well as, motivated
forces and strengthen the moral component. Operationally, experience increasingly sophisticated
challenges globally, especially when handling individuals of different traditions, cultures, and
languages.
