What I do to fix this (and really just make the game less frustrating) is to say "Good job guys, nice try," or something along those lines. I mean its never 100% our fault that we lost the battle, so many variables exist that you shouldn't blame your squad unless someone was doing something really stupid, then you evicerate that one person. | |

Authoritarian.
There are going to be few times when you're in my squad and I'm not telling you what to do or what not to do. |

Re: what's your squad leading style?
I lead with authority but I also cultivate the friendly atmosphere where everyone is supposed to be working together. The one thing I constantly do aside from talk about what we're going to do or try to do is tell people to tell me stuff or do stuff but in a personally responsible way. Like "everybody should be watching behind and around, look around you and look in a direction someone isnt looking" kind of thing.
Squad Leader should have big picture in mind, and for me I give as much of it to my guys when I lead as I can so that they have some context for what I want them to do. If they know the context of what we're doing it lets them better think on their own instead of just waiting for me to tell them exactly everything to do. The best squads end up being like a group of friends with one guy (usually me) leading it and making the tough decisions. Any other type of squad is really boring for pub play in my opinion. If the SL has to lead every bit of the way its just not efficient and for me just drags it into a chore. I usually say "we're gonna do this" or "we're going to defend here until I decide to move". I put the situation in my hands but with them given as much detail as is necessary for them to think on their own. However I also get impatient with people who just don't follow orders. I can be patient with people who make mistakes but people who just don't go with the flow I'll boot in a second. In my opinion a good squad (from a success versus failure in the game round POV) has to be efficient and effective and there can't be one guy ruining the flow. SL has to be a dictator every time even if its passive like just laying a marker and saying 'walk'. |

Re: what's your squad leading style?
Although i don't usually squad lead, im lucky because most of the time i've had a second in command so he would be the one with experience but i would be the one in charge, and we would ask for ideas from our squad members.
