When military NCOs have conflicting leadership styles in the same unit

My platoon sergeant and I have completely different leadership styles and it's creating confusion in the squad - I'm more hands-on and he's more delegating, and our soldiers are getting mixed signals about standards and expectations. We've never actually talked about how to align our approaches and I can see the NCOs below us starting to pick sides.

What we've seen
