I will first explain the type of leader I believe I am now. Then I will illuminate how I plan to improve my leadership effectiveness over the next three to five years and reach my goal. Finally, I will describe the way I want my subordinates, peers, and supervisors to perceive me as a leader.
From the enlightenment of the Noncommissioned Officer Academy Intermediate Leadership Experience course, I have realized that I show behaviors of different leadership tendencies that make up the type of leader …show more content…

This will take me far in the officer ranks and enable me to make change where change is needed. There has been plenty of things that that I found throughout my career that needed to be changed, but did not have the ability to change it. This is one of the biggest reasons that I am seeking a commission. I would like to be perceived by my subordinates as an ethical, hardworking leader that cares about their ideas and individual concerns. This will create better followers that will come to me with issues in order to get them solved. I want to positively affect my subordinates by creating that change that I was denied in the past. Additionally, I want my peers to think of me as competent and fair. This will make them want to solicit feedback from me and be involved in projects together. This collaboration will help us all succeed by developing each other and bolstering the unit(s) that we are in. Finally, I want my supervisors to perceive me as committed and competent leader that can be self-managed with the initiative to get things done. This will foster good relationships in which I can lean on to create the change for my peers and subordinates. From this, I will be a more effective leader and

I do agree with Evans and Alire in their agreeing with Dana Rooks; of course I want to be someone who develops in to a leader! We’ve learned through this class that “management is the art of getting things done through people” (Mary Parker Follett, 1941). This chapter tells us leadership is depends upon people- “a leader without followers leads nothing” (p.321), without people nothing can be done through them, which to me makes management and leadership go hand in hand. As Elliot taught us in the film from the last RDP, people want to do meaningful things with their life, I know I do, but also I would also like to help people achieve a purpose and accomplish their meaningful goals. I know that can’t be done through simple management but more so through coaching, mentoring and modeling, also discussed in the chapter.

Leade­rs need to build firm core values. They must e­arn respect, show brilliant skills, lead te­ams well, help workers grow, and finish the­ mission goals.

So how I believe that I am perceived right now in my work center by all levels is that I come to work, I know how to do my job well and that I like to keep to myself most of the time, but with these changes I will be talking about below over the next three to five years will be more favorable to me as a leader. The Airmen that I supervise or mentor now are the ones who should benefit the most by the changes that I am trying to work on, being mindful of interpersonal communication along with cultural diversity and a good discipline model should be the key to being that supervisor that they both respect and want to talk with. Getting and giving feedback at the correct times will be a big help towards understanding the ripeness and readiness and using all three elements of adaptability is how I will get there. Thru the next three to five years my goal for my Airmen is to give them a supervisor they both trust and want to follow, I want to be giving them feedback on a regular basis and really I would like all of them to be instructors. I believe getting to know them better as the people they are will help me to both keep them out of trouble and better gauge for when they are ready to start that upgrade training.
