This is NOT a replacement for any other leadership course. This course will give instruction on how best to function as a Battle Team Leader in the Dark Brotherhood. This course, like any other course in leadership, may be biased toward the writer’s own style of command. Application of the information in this course, as you will learn, depends heavily on the preferences of your Battleteam Members and your superiors. You may even be Consul one day if you apply this information correctly!

Hopefully you’re more concerned about improving your unit and having more fun than you are with helping yourself to medals, though leadership positions are the easiest ways to be promoted -IF you do your job well.
Before you apply for a position, consider this: What am I getting myself into? Knowledge of that question usually makes or breaks a leader. Each position is a little different, based on the people involved, both subordinates and superiors. As a Battleteam Leader, you will be expected to keep your Battleteam Members (BTMs) happy, as well as your direct superior. The following are some general principles of being a leader.
