Take advantage of the opportunities as you will need education in chapter 2 of your life to remain competitive in the corporate sector!

Fostering creativity and innovation is integral to the curriculum at the Leadership In Training school house. Yesterday, students heard from the FFR Marketing Department, equipping them with the tools to think outside the box and innovate within the field of marketing and commercial sponsorship in the Navy. #NavyFFR #USNavy #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipDevelopement #LeadersOfTomorrow

Five things to live by as a leader.

10 Reasons to be a Cadet Force Adult Volunteer – 3/10: PERSONAL GROWTH As you work with and develop young people, you will find that your abilities will grow as well.

As soldiers and leaders, we know that success lies in embodying our own words and living them daily. Embracing change and adapting to challenges are essential qualities that make us strong leaders. Let's continue to tackle every challenge that comes our way with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. #Leadership #Adaptability #EmbraceChange #FindingYourself

I just got out of a seminar in which we discussed the importance of role modeling as a leader. (Nice to see this pop up right after. 😊) 👉 If you want to see a shift in workplace behavior, make sure you’ve *shown* what “right” looks like. The practice of role modeling transparency (which can include, “I need help with…”) is making an appearance in my upcoming 8-week manager training program, going live January 2025. 🎉 If your team needs a hybrid leadership training program (self-paced training + weekly one-hour live sessions), feel free to shoot me a message! #leadership #management #managertraining #leadershiptraining

Sometimes even if the leader knows certain things or perhaps understands everything about the job (which I believe is impossible)*, it is good for him to delegate or pretend that he knows less than it might look like, it might teach the team an example of leadership and inclusion beyond them, as they already know the leader's capabilities. Leaders can also learn from the team! ##PraticeLeadership

Simon Sinek hit the nail on the head with this one! Leadership isn’t just about giving orders; it’s about setting an example. Just like in a family, team members will mirror their leader’s actions. If leaders are honest about their weaknesses and seek help, it creates a culture where everyone feels safe to do the same. This vulnerability can strengthen the team immensely. How have you responded to leaders who act with this level of openness and vulnerability? Share your experiences below!

Great example about leadership. You elevate your leadership skills, amplify your performance, and exceed expectations by embracing continuous learning, effective communication, time management, accountability, empathy, innovation, mentorship, and humbleness.

Absolutely True! When leaders demonstrate the courage to ask for help and encourage others to do the same, it sets a powerful tone for the entire team. It shows that collaboration and communication are valued, and that every voice matters. This kind of leadership not only builds trust but also drives better results.
