My subordinates would describe me as a leader that can motivate and support the team. I do motivate and encourage my team to balance their lifestyle and advancement both professionally and personally. I support my team by mentoring them of changes within the Air Force, core values, and responsibilities in the unit and the Air Force. My supervisor would describe my followership skills as very committed and competent, and have no issues with integrity check and taking initiative. I give feedback and advice to my supervisor.
I use the Team Leader style in my work center. I find it very effective because my team shares the same values and work ethics as I do. I lead by positive examples, and encourage my team members to perform and reach at their highest potential. As a NCO, I would describe myself as a thinker, and an influencer. My work center knows that I am always open to try new ideas, and hear different perspective. I strive to display my high moral behavior, strong work ethics, and strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, my supervisor would describe me as a NCO that cares too much because I take time to understand and promote my subordinate’s abilities, needs, and goals. I would say my strengths are leading by example, and having no fear to admit my mistakes or weaknesses. My essence or what makes me who I am is my goofy approach. However, my work center knows when to take me seriously.
