Marine Corps Leadership Trait Endurance Definition:

Endurance is the mental and physical stamina that is measured by your ability to withstand pain, fatigue, stress, and hardship. For example, enduring pain during a conditioning march in order to improve stamina is crucial in the development of leadership.

Suggestions for Improvement: Develop your endurance by engaging in physical training that will strengthen your body. Finish every task to the best of your ability by forcing yourself to continue when you are physically tired and your mind is sluggish.

It's impossible to lead from the front if you're falling behind. Marines continue on when others quit, digging deep to endure - and achieve - more than most think is possible. Marine Corps endurance is more than finding the will within. It's convincing those around you that they too have more to give.
