Insubordination is a problem that the military, workforce and our education system can face on a day to day basis. Insubordination is the defiance of authority or the refusal to obey orders. Words that have similar meanings to insubordinate include "rebellious", “troublesome” and “defiance”. While insubordinate people don't follow orders, rebellious people willingly defy them. Troublesome people just cause trouble by not following directions or rules and people who are defiant purposely refuse to follow any directions what so ever. It is always Imperative to follow all orders given to you by people appointed over you, in other words, follow the chain of command. Orders is what maintains organization in the military.

everyone is on task and everyone is working in the most effective way possible. Following orders is not just important in combat but it also must be followed in the barracks and during training/ PT. If you become insubordinate and not follow an order this would increase the risk of not being able to complete the task you were given. If a servicemen is insubordinate they deal with the consequences of Article 89. Article 89 deals with servicemen who have shown disrespectful behavior toward their superior officers. The accused is punished right through a court martial process. A serviceman charged with article 89 violation, faces bad conduct discharge, penalty of all allowances and pay and one year confinement as maximum punishment. The workplace is often a prime spot for insubordination. Businesses often have policies ruling out insubordination. Insubordination is divided into two basic categories: unwillingness to carry out an orders from a manager or supervisor and having a disrespectful behavior toward a manager or supervisor. Unwillingness to carry out an order from a manager or supervisor can be brought up as a verbal refusal or a nonverbal refusal. This can also have an unreasonable delay in finishing work. Disrespectful behavior toward a manager or supervisor can include cursing at a supervisor, or speaking loudly or argumentatively to or about a supervisor. Businesses that face insubordination in the workplace may handle the situation using their regulatory disciplinary procedures. Insubordination can be addressed using written or verbal warnings and suspensions. If warnings do not work the insubordinate person could be fired from his or her job. Most businesses do not want to act fast in disciplinary matters, if a business delays disciplinary action they can give employees the impression that disrespectful behavior is acceptable. Which it is not. If you have ever been in high school, then you know of that one kid in every class that always talks back to the teacher. Insubordination in a school since is when a teacher asks you to do something and you refuse to do it. The most common example of insubordination among students are talking back, refusing to do work, cellphone use when not allowed and the use of profanity. These behaviors might seem simple when each is separate. But, most insubordinate students commit all of this actions in one class sitting. A student may talk back to a teacher while being distracted on their phone instead of doing their class work. A student could get a call to home, an email to parent or suspended for said actions. A teacher can as well be insubordinate, after all being a teacher is a job profession. If a teacher cusses at a student or refuses to teach something that is required to be taught to students, they can be reprimanded by their boss, the principle of their school. A teacher can also get warnings or be fired for their actions like any other job. There are several tips you can take to help an insubordinate person without firing them: Don’t let the issue become too personal. If the employee or student is acting insubordinate it is not because of you. You can only make it harder for you to solve to problem. Take it from a perspective of that they need to fix their issues in order for you guys to move on to a better place. Besides, taking it personally will just make you angry and more frustrated, which will solve nothing. Stay cool as you can.
No matter how rude or disrespectful the employee or student is don’t let them know that you are angry. If they don’t do anything that they are supposed to do, getting angry and upset will only be used against you in the long run. Expect the laziness, at first they are going to try to push buttons in order to make you upset. Don’t let them win. Try to discover the root of the problem. See why they are acting this way. 9/10 times it could be an issue that has been caused by a misunderstanding. If you find the problem it can truly help defuse the issue and potentially help everyone in the long run. A simple sleuthing around can go a long way. Be as supportive as possible. Yes, you read that correctly. Before you think about firing them, think about ways to help them instead of hurting. Believe it or not a simple coaching along can help allot. Maybe they don’t know how to do things so they take it out in the ways that they do. Like a way to release stress. Be honest as possible. If the employee is on the verge of being fired, let them know. This might wake them up to the reality of their actions. If you feel a certain way about someone don’t try to be the bigger/better person and stay quiet. Be honest and say “Hey, I think you can do better.” Or whatever is on your
mind. Don’t stop what you are doing. Don’t let that one person throw you off from completing your job/task. Keep on the pace you are at or push yourself even more to complete your job. Your job is what is keeping the boat afloat. No matter how hard it may be stay focused on the duty you are responsible for. Write everything that happens. This will work very well in your favor. Write the dates, what was said, the reason you talked, what time if you can and make sure it’s in a safe place. These little logs of events will be in your tool belt when you need evidence or support to fix the issue. If all else fails talk to someone you trust. Believe it or not sometimes another person’s advice can help a potent situation. They might have a point of view that you probably did not see or care to see. It is also a good thing to vent no matter what it is. If you get it off your chest you can make more comfortable decisions. No matter how difficult an insubordinate person is, try to solve the issue. Don’t think irrational, stay positive and remember you can choose how it ends they can’t. You picked them to work for you, you can also pick them to not work for you. You’re in charge of the outcome, make sure that it stays that way!

Which means it’s coming with discipline; all men and women should follow rules that are given to them. When Sargent Perfetto was serving he explained that “ There are many rules you follow in the navy the way you wear your uniform to proper facial. No drugs and definitely no drinking and driving”.

Respect is probably the most important trait that needs to be shown towards your superiors. Every Armed forces branch in the United States of America has a chain of command in which respect is the main premise behind the entire organization. Respect backs the ideals and leadership within any chain of command. Respect is important in the design of the military system itself. You have to automatically trust and do what higher ranking cadet, or any cadre member says because they hold power and most likely have more experience then you. You must show them respect to because they have more knowledge and know how, not to mention they have earned the stop they are in. Respect also tires into the worrier’s ethos, which is an important aspect of what it means to be a member of the army.
In his article, “Think for yourself: The dangers of blind obedience,” Hess discusses why companies tend to threaten or scare their employees to do something morally wrong because it is for the protection or prosperity of the company. Hess claims a good example of an organization that does not try to force or threaten compliance with their rules is the United States Marine Corps. One of the Marine Corps unofficial mottos is, “Improvise, Adapt, Overcome”. This means that even though the organization has hundreds of rules for the soldiers to follow, they still leave it up to the actual soldiers to determine how to properly handle a situation, the rules do not apply if the soldier finds it necessary to disobey. Hess states that employees who follow rules at the wrong time or hide behind an authority figure do so because of three reasons. The three reasons are because the employee does not know what to do in that situation, the employee is afraid of the consequences they might face, and to protect the company they are employed
Despite the consequences, one must always maintain his or her integrity. It will help you learn from your own mistakes and gain respect from others. Additionally, it will keep the problem from intensifying into an argument. For instance, the new soldier who just graduated from advanced individual training has been sent to her first duty station. Weeks afterwards her non-commissioned officer (NCO) failed to complete his task and was scared to admit it for fear he would get demoted or worse chaptered out from the army.
The employee could help me save face by not making slanderous comments about me to the rest of my staff, rather keeping our negotiations and discussions between the employee and myself.

Be prepared to stand up for employees who have performed admirably well while being fair, firm, concerned, and sincere. When possible, criticize in private and praise in public. Remember that there will always be some people who will vigorously oppose your views. Do not compromise yourself to try to obtain everyone's support. 7.
Obeying orders is important because it shows discipline. Discipline can be seen as the heartbeat of the army and a necessity to any war victory. When orders are not obeyed it can lead chaos in a unit due to the cohesion of discipline no longer being in place. This can never happen in the army because we have a duty to protect the citizens that entrust us. Weather in peace or wartime orders are vital components needed to have a nation’s army function properly.
Lazy employees have no place in a business, especially a start up or a struggling one. So what do you do with them? Although firing them is the first thing you want to do, you might want to take a pause and reconsider. According to studies, employee turnover costs businesses around one-fifth of each worker's salary, a figure that will significantly add up if firing and hiring becomes a norm.
However, this doesn’t mean you have to tell them how to do their job per say. The old country saying “there is more than one way to skin a cat,” is applicable here. Your employee might have a way they like handling certain tasks, and you prefer them done a different way. Well, unless their way is simply wrong or dangerous, why do you fight it? Why worry about how they get to the finish line if they make it there.

As much as possible, avoid physical contact with students who act rudely. The nearer you are to them, the stronger your impulse is to hit them. Rather than spending your lifetime gripping prison bars tightly, take the time to keep a tight grip on your emotions. Treat disrespectful students with grace and patience. Even though they talk back in your conversations, it is still best to speak to them in a pleasant but emphatic manner.
If the lower ranks did not follow the higher command/obey their orders then the ranking structure would not work and the whole hierarchical structure would fail. An example, if a private is told to go clean their dorm by their Staff Sergeant but the private refused to do so and there was no authority there would be no point in the ranking structure, every rank has a higher officer to follow and without that there would be no order. There needs to be authority and if it is not followed then actions would need to be taken by a senior officer, it would be reported by a senior officer and led to a disciplinary hearing, and is ruled over by a CO, military wise would be a court martial. If you do not follow commands given to you it could lead to being discharged, demoted or in prison. Credibility is important as a Leader/commander since it links into respect for them, as a commander you need to be fair in all situation, but do not take sides and if necessary you may not have to be fair to a certain individual due to their actions. You cannot favour certain individuals for what they do, such as in the UPS, if there is someone who knows more and is fitter than anyone else in a squad, you can’t favour that one person since it would affect how everything respects you as a leader and
