Leadership

In SPECTRE, leadership is not about titles — it’s about outcomes. Anyone can be in charge, but not everyone can lead under pressure.

This section exists to develop leaders who:

• Take ownership of the mission
• Empower their teams
• Make decisions with confidence and clarity
• Keep their people focused and fighting
• Adapt under stress, and finish what they start

What Makes a Leader in SPECTRE

We expect our leaders to:

• Communicate clearly
• Delegate effectively
• Think ahead
• Keep their team focused
• Lead from the front, even if not physically there

Leadership is not perfection — it’s persistence, presence, and preparation.
