What do leaders include in the leader book?

Leaders include common tasks found in the Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks in the leader book because these tasks represent the foundational skills and knowledge necessary for soldiers to effectively perform their duties. The Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks outlines the critical competencies that are essential across various Army occupations. By incorporating these common tasks, leaders can ensure that they are developing their soldiers in alignment with standardized requirements, fostering consistency in training and performance. This approach also facilitates better evaluation of soldier readiness and capability, enabling leaders to provide targeted guidance and development opportunities.

Including these tasks in the leader book demonstrates a leader's commitment to maintaining a high standard of proficiency within their unit, which is essential for operational effectiveness and mission success.
