He uses his Executive Officer to ensure the staff performs its duties and his Company Commanders to complete all functions and responsibilities assigned to each company.

Alpha Company Commander
A good company commander is an outstanding leader with lots of intiative. If you are a company commander, you get things done. Until orders reach you, they are just plans, something that someone would like to have accomplished. Rather than waiting to be told what to do, you think and plan ahead what seems best for the company. You use common sense action and try not worry about making mistakes, knowing that the greatest mistake is to do nothing when action is required. You use all available help to accomplish company duties and keep subordinates informed, at the same time ensuring that the goals of the mission remain in focus. You provide the why and how to accomplish the assigned mission. Then, you must check and inspect to ensure what that you wanted done is being accomplished. You must be an outstanding leader with plenty of initiative. Do not wait for someone to tell you what to do--- think ahead and plan what you believe is best for the company. ( Note: In some organizations where actions go form the battalion staff to class leaders, the company commander has the duties of assignment officer.)
