Overview • Tiers • Transition • Maturing • Set Tone • Set Example • Accountability • Integrity
TIERS • Airman Tier- Is the initial tier of the three tier enlisted force structure. As a member progresses from airman basic to senior airman, he or she acquires the discipline, skills, and PME necessary to become eligible for NCO status
TIERS • NCO Tier- This tier is where technical sergeants and staff sergeants transition from workers and journeymen to craftsmen and supervisory positions as they develop military leadership skills and attend PME
TRANSITION • Transition literally overnight from “Sue” or “Joe” into Sergeant Smith • It is not easy! • Friends will not get their feelings hurt, others might • This transition is a MUST!
MATURING • Find a Mentor • Be willing to accept constructive feedback • Seek constructive feedback up and down chain • Not everyone will be your friend • You will make mistakes
SET THE TONE • Be firm • Be understanding • Be consistent • First impressions • Don’t be apologetic
“Leaders lead by example and set the tone. Above all, they do not countenance selective enforcement of standards… I know of no more ruinous path…than selective enforcement of rules and standards… Excellent leaders have very high standards and they enforce them without fear or favors” --Gen W.L. Creech SET THE EXAMPLE
ACCOUNTABILITY • You must be accountable for your faults and those of others • You will have to correct your friends • You will have to evaluate your friends • You are now under the microscope “All of this has been my fault. It is I who have lost this fight, and you must help me out of it the best way you can.” --Gen Robert E. Lee After the failed charge at Gettysburg
INTEGRITY • Be Fair • Be consistent • Own up to your mistakes • Praise others for their successes • Don’t expect praise in return
Summary • Tiers • Transition • Maturing • Set Tone • Set Example • Accountability • Integrity
