A Leader's Approach to Training.

Abstract

The purpose of this assay is to present a personal philosophy on training which focuses on the role, as well as the functions and responsibilities of the leader. The paper includes a brief introduction on leading and caring, two of the three components of the indispensable triad, before engaging in a more detailed discussion of the final component--training. The philosophy presented herein reinforces various precepts and concepts contained in current training doctrine and offers opinions, suggestions, and some techniques which may improve training performance. Throughout the philosophy, considerable attention is devoted to the effective utilization of training time. This paper is prepared as a message to leaders, especially those assigned at battalion level and below, and is oriented on the role of those leaders in training. The comments and suggestions in this essay are the opinions of the author but are consistent with current training doctrine and have uniform application to virtually any specialty branch.
