Military Toxic Leadership
Thesis: Most human nature is good, but with accolades and promotions over time, that power causes one to lose self-awareness, and that lack of awareness is usually the thing that gets them caught. 

Write on how the power of being a senior leader can feed temptation. The paper will address the below:
-Common character traits of toxic leaders
-How to develop young leaders to avoid these character flaws
-Experience teaches us skill/talent cannot compensate for immoral character or unethical behavior
-Use Bathsheba syndrome as an example of how power can get you in trouble if you dont have elements(family, friends, church) in place to check your behavior
