SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/cap-own-responsibility
CAP's cadet followership lesson says that before you take responsibility for others, you must first take responsibility for whom?
Yourself, because leadership starts with self-management.
- Yourself ✔
- Your flight sergeant
- Your whole squadron
Why: Cadets learn that leading others only works if you can first manage your own choices, time and attitude. Good leaders start by being someone others can count on.
Huh, didn't know that: The Learn to Lead curriculum has four volumes, studied in order: Personal Leadership, Small Team Leadership, Indirect Leadership and Strategic Perspectives.
Why did the scarecrow become a successful manager? Because he was outstanding in his field.
