Seeing and hearing the example set by other leaders may assist the cadet in becoming a more effective leader. Leaders come from all walks of life and learning about how different leaders display core leadership qualities may help cadets further develop their leadership skills. Being given as many opportunities as possible to speak in front of groups will help develop the cadet’s presentation and instructional skills.

It is recommended that this lesson be scheduled after all other lessons in PO 309 (Chapter 9).
