My Experience At Cpo Academy

The privilege to command units afloat and ashore provided me with intimate exposure to the challenges experienced by our workforce and their families. Often accompanied by a myriad of ethical dilemmas, these challenges provided a wealth of experience and a better understanding of the impact a leader has on the workforce and their families. Similarly, my experience as the Boatswain’s Mate “A” School Assistant School Chief afforded me vital insight into the Coast Guard’s formal training system, Human Performance Technology and the development of future enlisted leaders. These experiences provided invaluable opportunities for me to interact with our workforce and understand their views, perform thorough assessments of complex situations, and provide accurate, sound, and practical counsel in order to achieve the best outcome for the unit and our Coast

I used to view chief petty officer as nothing more than a rank that I would achieve as I worked my way up the ladder to higher positions within staff. I’ll admit to being a bit puzzled as to why the c/PCPO’s went through such a seemingly strenuous transition when their reward was simply making chief. Lately I’ve come to realize that yes, all you get out of the c/PCPO transition is the rank of chief, but that chief includes much more than the title of being a chief. Being a chief means you are willing to take charge of a higher level of responsibility, and coinciding with that, being able to lead a larger unit of people. Being chief means that you understand how to properly lead those who rely on you. Chiefs’ work together to make up the higher ranks of staff that plan how the unit is to run, but they also lead the individual cadets. A chief, by definition of being a higher rank, is expected to set an example for other cadets to learn by. Chiefs also select chiefs to lead the unit when they have left, accepting both the responsibility of the unit at present, and who will manage it in the future.

In all of college basketball history, there has only been one coach to win ten NCAA Basketball Championships. Who is this phenomenal coach? It is none other than the legendary John Wooden. Being one extraordinary basketball coach, his legacy was built on and off the court in the most incredible ways.

Throughout adolescence and young adulthood, John Wooden followed the teachings of his father and applied them to his athletic career. Hence, Wooden became an All American- guard at Purdue University. Although a good basketball player, Wooden always stayed on top of his studies and eventually promoted education to his players when he became a coach. Amazingly, “John Wooden was one of the two people who was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player

Ten seconds on the clock-his hand is cramping struggling to make the next gesture- six seconds left, his heart is racing- three all the people around him are moving slowly-one, his hands flick and the chance to impress coach John Wooden literally slips through his fingertips. Zero, the alarm sounds the ball makes it through the hoop, the crowd goes wild! This is it! This marks the 30th win of John Wooden’s coaching career. Not only is John remembered for being coach but he will also be recognized as a great teacher, writer and coach!

After highschool John Wooden was offered 5000 thousand dollars to join an organization called barnstorming. Where he would travel around with the New York Celtics for basketball. Though instead he decided to settle down with the love of his life Nell Riley. He decided he would become an english teacher and basketball coach and live a simple life. The first year of his coaching the number of wins to losses was 6-11. That would be the only time John Wooden would have a losing

7. One may argue that new enlistees in the Coast Guard have a purpose and know what they want to do, but the facts that are presented are the Coast Guard is 3500 people short at the non-rate level. We are accepting everyone who walks through our recruiting doors, and still can fill our personnel gap. The US economy is struggling so new recruits’ do not have the exposure required to make an educated decision on a career path. The Coast Guard will make more efficient Petty Officers as long as future goals of its service align with the future goals of the

I held a lot of leadership positions while I was an upperclassman in high school and led a lot of different people. I expected to be challenged and to develop my leadership more while at the Academy, but I never really recognized how valuable plebe year would be. I have been exposed to a brand new type of leadership in which I seriously affect my superiors by my performance and my effort. Furthermore, I have been able to observe many different leadership styles. I have also learned how to better utilize the personalities of my peers. This surprise leaves me excited for my future at the Naval Academy, and reaffirms my belief that this is the premier institution to develop

The topic of leadership continues to attract several theoretical arguments as the practice of leadership varies depending on a variety of factors (Loveridge, 2014). However, the contributions made by John Wooden in transforming leadership are impeccable, with his many years as a basketball coach earning him admiration and success in equal measure. John Wooden, therefore, explains how leaders can get the maximum potential out of their followers through enhancing the individual abilities and shaping the personal efforts in a manner that guarantees personal peak performances and subsequent improvement of team or organizational performance.
