From the Paper:

"Overall, the LSI was a reconfirmation of what I have known all along, but is also shed some light on some forgotten behaviors like approval. Since leaving the Marine Corps, it seems that while making the transition to civilian life, I find myself asking for more approval than ever before. Also, it made me look at my current leadership style and evaluate its effectiveness. I have to admit that it has been difficult going from an environment in which you get immediate obedience to orders to an environment where you have to explain the what, why, how, and who. I have incorporated some of the military leadership principles with the management training and knowledge I have received from my company and from the education while pursuing my B.S. and my MBA."
