Leaders what specifically are you implementing to ensure that your replacements are prepared to lead from the front.
SSG Broadbent:
Too much is given much is required. My question to you respectfully are you prepared to take the next position.
If so how were you prepared?
If not what do you need?
Instead, I'll just say that what we need is to be asked this question by our 1st line supervisors so we can tell them candidly what is and isn't helping us grow in our current assignment.
SPC Thundercloud:
I applaud you for caution which is a sign of growth.
When I was an SPC, I needed to learn how to answer without offending.
When I became a WO1, I had to learn how to communicate in a Bottom Line Up Front manner due to time constraints.
SPC Thundercloud,
I always ask my leaders for a plan of action, and to provide me with examples on how to progress. I would ask for a strength and a weakness, and I would respectfully ask for assignments to provide me with the experience to succeed.
SPC Thundercloud:
To promote change you have to constantly assess yourself, promote your strengths work on your weaknesses. Talk with your peers and have them provide you with honest feedback.
Surround yourself with communicators, and take classes if needed on how
to effectively communicate without offending.
SSG Watkins:
That is very admirable of you, and at this stage of the game that is what I do I ensure that I set up the next generation for success.
I was fortunate in my career to have Leaders that prepared and encouraged. When I was a SSG I was frustrated and my CSM encouraged me to go Warrant.
True leaders build the next generation and leave a legacy.
