Not even close. but if you see it in a bigger perspective, we can gain a lot from military. The way they shows their leadership qualities.

Let’s Be Honest
To be an effective leader, you must be honest one-hundred percent of the time. Here is the great thing about honesty; you don’t have to keep track of lies you’ve told. Unfortunately, it sometimes hurts. It does no good to know an answer and put off giving somebody the bad news.
Remain Consistent

To prevent anybody, anywhere and at any time from ever accusing you of showing favoritism, you must remain consistent. Here is an example: soldier A was late for formation 3 times in the past week while soldier B was late 3 times in one week 90 days ago. You must be ready to pass down the same discipline to each soldier no matter what the reason or excuse.

You cannot be an effective leader by using the motto “do as I say, not as I do.” If you’re supposed to be at PT at 0500 and you’re not, or if you show up, send your troops on a 3-mile run, and then you go back to bed, you have just lost their respect.You can’t expect your soldiers to follow orders if you don’t, so if you’re supposed to wear eye pro at all times and expect them to, you must do the same. You have to be willing to suffer through some of the same ridiculous directives that they do. This will develop loyalty and respect among all.

You have to be loyal to your superiors and your soldiers. You must be willing to go to bat for your soldiers and defend them. Stand up for them even when they do something stupid. We were all young and did something stupid once or twice or more. You have to show loyalty to your soldiers when the time comes. You must also remain loyal to your superiors.

I hope all of you can take a good things in military leadership and apply whenever during your tenure.
Best Regards.
