Uewd to be the case that, to become good at your job as an NCO, you memorized field manuals and hit the gym. Nowadays, you'll want to haul books back and forth to behavioral sciences.
What about keelhauling? You still have that, right?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We walked the line between keeping the good ones and dumping the bad ones.
If you want to see a documentary on leadership watch "Twelve O'Clock High" and watch how the boss handles people.

The one with Gregory Peck? Seen it, loved it. Wouldn't call it a documentary, though.
