The best example I can give is:
When I was in Navy boot camp, it was 9 PM (or 2100 hours) when a whole bunch of us started showing signs of food poisoning. All of us that were getting sick (most of my 80 man company) were issued barf bags and bussed over to the hospital. When we got there, we were put into a triage area with several hundred other people. Every doctor and corpsman were called-in, and even medics from other bases were there to help.
It actually made me feel a lot better to see the base commander (a one-star admiral) there showing some command presence and doing what he could, which was taking direction from the senior doctor there, helping out, and going around talking to us guys that were down.
He wasn’t a doctor. He didn’t actually DO anything really, but it was comforting to us to see him there showing some command presence. He was in dress blue uniform because he was at a command function and left it to come over to the hospital. He didn’t just sit there at his cotillion slurping a champagne coulee and saying, “Eh, they got it covered.” It was cool of him to actually show up.
It's called LEADERSHIP, iirc.
