Module 3, Self-Improvement, I found Team Building most valuable to me. Specifically, I found Team Roles to be most valuable because of its impact on mission accomplishment. Within the Air Force we are challenged, sometimes on a daily basis, to work as a team. As a Non-Commissioned Office (NCO) in the Air Force, it is important to understand team dynamics and the value each position holds within the team.
