When I was told I was coming to the Advanced Leaders Course (ALC) I was excited to get it out of the way and I thought I would learn a lot because I am new in this Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). I turned down ALC for my last job because I heard I can learn a lot for my new MOS. Since, I have been here the only leadership part of this course, in my opinion was the class leader and when I had to lead physical training (PT). We were told, the leadership part was front loaded in this course and we would only learn from our peers. This course is setup in a way with the instructor only guides us through the topics and the peers teach each other. For me, being an older soldier, this was a huge difference in the way I am used to being …show more content…
I am glad I have come though due to the fact I have done a lot of briefs and written more papers before I truly had to do it in front of a commander. I appreciated the practice before I have to do it for real and I was starting to loose what I was taught at CISAC. Besides now, I know I need more help and practice giving briefs in which I need to slow down when I talk or give the brief. I did not like the rubric part of it because it was easy just to do what was on there and not really do it the way it’s done in the real world, which I heard a lot by my peers. I think this course could be shorter and I think the class material needs to be more updated with today’s topics or standards. The coursework was outdated and the slides were always about five to ten years old. One thing I really liked about this course was the variety of different experiences the other agents had in the MOS. I think the barracks were okay for the Army standard but the Dining Facility (DEFAC) was a joke. They made the same food every three days and it was always cold right after the opened. I think they should have given us the same opportunity with us being able to buy meals like in CISAC, without us having to come out of pocket. I also liked the idea of having on PT every other day plus liked the way I was retrained in given PT as an instructor. Overall, the course is what you make of it and if you put nothing in to it then you will get nothing out of
Leadership: Judit continues to gain the respect of her peers through her own actions and attitude. She continues to operate effectively with high volume workloads.
Be" Know" Do: Leadership The Army Way was written by Frances Hesselbein and introduced by Gen. Eric Shinseki.

Respect and Integrity. The understanding and execution of all three principles will allow me to successfully inspire, influence, and motivate you in the right direction.
I felt sorry for the basics because they were woken up the unpleasant sounds of whistles and metal trash cans. Within five minutes the entire encampment was ready for PT. The PT was easy. It consisted of push-ups, sit-ups, flutter kicks and not so challenging developmental calisthenics. It lasted for about forty-five minutes. After PT was done we were ordered to be at the chow hall at exactly 8:00am. One of the best things about being in the ATF was that we got to take our showers before any other cadets in our barracks did, so it left us with about three minutes every day to inspect and correct our uniforms. We met up with the females in front of the chow hall at 8:00 am and had our breakfast. After having our meal of delicious eggs, bacon, and milk we were taken to the combat simulators. As usual we were the first flight to do the simulators. The first simulator we attended was the convoy simulator. My convoy was with Birthday who was the radio operator and Hermes who was the driver and I got to be the gunner. Unfortunately for me the machine gun broke, so I did not do much and Hermes crashed the Humvee. Next we went to the firearms simulator and shot targets on a projector screen. I was using an M-4 A1 assault rifle, and then I saw the light machine gun which Dancer was using. After five minutes I convinced Dancer to trade firearms with me. Out of all the excitement combined with random adrenaline rush, I
Addressing organizational needs, problems and strengths begins with leadership. Ensuring needs, problems and strengths are appropriately measured, analyzed and, where appropriate diverted, begins with great leaders. Great leadership is about “ferocious resolve, an almost stoic determination to do whatever needs to be done to make the company great.” (Collins, 2001). Success for the leadership capstone project can be defined many ways; implementing a solution to resolve the problem as well as acknowledging the limitations of the study and identifying areas of focus for future research. Success for this leadership project is due in part to the results and findings of the study; however, the fundamental key to its success centers around leadership.
This sufficiency descriptor gives assessment guidance by identifying the different standards that produce different marks. Section by section, for each assessment criterion, the descriptors identify typical degrees of sufficiency of learner evidence in a submission. These degrees of sufficiency are labelled as ‘Referral’, ‘Pass’ or ‘Good pass’ (i.e. although it is only one assessment criterion, if that standard were replicated uniformly across the whole assessment, it would be likely to produce marks in the 40s, 50s or 70s & above).
If I have to be honest, JROTC was one of the highlights of my high school experience. It gave me a purpose and led me to be who I am today. A couple of years ago I wouldn’t believe anyone if they were to tell me I would become G3 my junior year and Charlie’s Company Commander my senior year. I have grown to love this program and the people involved. SGM Cooper has become one of my mentors. If I am ever in need, I know I can always count of him. There hasn’t been a time where I’ve needed him and he hasn’t been there. I am very fortunate to have met someone like him. He has been someone that I hope remains in my life years from now. SGM if you are reading this, I would like to take a moment to thank you for all the career advice and life advice. Air Force 1 will always keep you in her prayers. My overall experience in JROTC has been full of laughter, fun, sweat, memorable and life lasting. Just like I have enjoyed my time in this program, I hope and know that many others will as well. For the upcoming freshman, I will gladly recommend this course. The fact that JROCT isn’t academically hard makes it better. It doesn’t focus on the basics but rather on life skills that one can always use. I believe that
I have multiple expectations of Center Leader course. My first expectation is to start with the basics. We need to have a base to start from. By learning and understanding the regulatory guidance it builds the base from which we grow. Too many times leaders are expected to or are assumed to already have the knowledge. The Non-commissioned officer corps needs to return to the “backbone” of the Army. Through proper self-development, sharing of one another’s knowledge and institutional learning we can accomplish this. I believe the ability and the desire to research has been lost. I do not expect to be handed answers. I do not need to ask for answers. I want to be guided in the right direction to get results. I need to research information for
As a fourth class Midshipman, I’ve only been exposed to a few leadership exercises, during NSO, PT, and the leadership obstacle course at the beginning of the semester. Although not holding a billet, I take in a
The three main things that made it my favorite class are: the leadership skills, the opportunity to learn how to safely handle rifles, and the different mental and physical skills that were developed throughout my two years in that program. As a freshman I didn’t know many things about the variety of choices of classes to take in high school. There was a class that was entitled “Leadership” so, I signed up. After I went to a few classes, I did not feel as if the class would help me grow at all, but I was wrong. The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program has taught me more than just leadership.
In summary, I have learned a great deal from my fellow Technical Sergeants throughout the ILE course. I will bring what I have learned in this experience to improve my unit which will ultimately improve the Air Force as my subordinates go to different assignments. I will continue to strive to be the best leader and follower I can be.
At the heart of every successful business is a successful leader. These individuals have many unique qualities, but all share a willingness to learn. As a business or franchise owner, you should always provide your management team with opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills. Crestcom, for example, offers world-class leadership training courses that will give your managers the tools they need for both personal and corporate growth.
This Leadership Theory and Practice class was not at all what I expected it to be, which is great. I had heard of other people who had taken this class previously with different professors and how all they did was write papers and honestly, hardly learned anything about leadership. This class thankfully had an easy work load which helped with my senioritus, but still challenged me to think about different leadership styles, concepts, and what it truly means to be a leader. I was able to hear the views of many other people especially those who were also in the class, but also from the different people we had interviewed for the assignment we had to present on. I learned a lot about leadership and I learned a lot about myself in a leadership
Before this class, I had a very primitive and vague definition of leadership. Not only did I define it as per my views and ideologies, but I also said that each individual has their own definition of leadership. My initial belief was that leadership does not have a clear cut definition, but there were well defined leadership traits which made an individual. I also initially believed that personal traits did not translate into leadership traits with no strong correlation. After going through the various modules this class offered, it is safe to say that I have significantly redefined leadership and underwent a strong personal assessment. This paper talks what I took back from each of the class activities, assignments and how my self-assessment compares to the perception of others.
