I&#39;m curious as to what creative ways can we use to do Leader/Soldier development, whether it&#39;s training the Soldiers on individual warrior skills or just teaching them topics that will help improve the organization when time is extremely limited due to other work tasks that are priority. 2021-02-10T07:23:37-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 6734744

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve built a program called “Building the Bench” which is a 40 hour leadership development course aimed at certifying first-line leaders on the core operational tasks to include: Duties of the NCO, Developmental Counseling, Barracks Inspections, Radio Communications, Unit and NCO history, etc. <br /><br />This requires - at a minimum - an investment for protected time on the training schedule from the Company Level leadership.<br /><br />I can send you the entire Program of Instruction — let me know if interested.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A designated day for &quot;Sergeant&#39;s Time Training&quot;..... put your training &amp; leadership events on the calendar, get approval from your S3. Brief your calendar &quot;well&quot; during training meetings. Require backbriefs.... Enable your NCOs to execute.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Time has always be a constraint so delegate and empower subordinate leaders and their assistants/under studies. If you have a team leader out for training, planned medical, or extended leave have the senior SPC step up before the team leader departs and begin learning the role. This is not training by fire, since he/she is actually helping the Squad Leader cover for a missing subordinate leader. Get folks into formal leadership training, be it in person or on line, and then give them chances to practice and share their new new knowledge when they return. Lastly, challenge yourself to get more of your work done through the efforts of others. This makes you push power down and have folks take more responsibility.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As in every job or environment, priorities exist; no exception. Therefore, time management is crucial and learned. <br /><br />But to fit any and all priorities, it will definitely take additional time during any day, week, month, or emergency. <br /><br />There is ‘no’ shortcuts in learning due to everyone in your command are different; some catch on quickly and some personnel are slow. <br /><br />For me to maximize my time, I start the break down to plt size lead by Senior Cadre. But obviously, as we all know, the world and our normal duties do not stop. <br /><br />Your Senior Cadre is your strength for any successfull training/knowledge to be instilled. The command team can not do it all and majority of the time, they’re in the rear; therefore, success is done by Warrior’s boots on the ground. <br /><br />Hooah.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Do not wait for an entire element to do training,grab whoever is sitting around. High optempo units it is very rare to get your whole team/squad/plt together outside protected training events. So go into the common area, find joe finger blasting their phone and teach them something.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Lots of great advice, I think the premise is during hi op tempo, where there is no break in mission. There are a couple of simple approaches. Put a Soldier in charge of a task, even allowing subordinate NCOs to participate as part of the Team following the Soldiers guidance. You step back and observe/coach. Continue this periodically. If you have enough Soldiers pull the NCOs out on occasion, allowing them to observe how the Soldiers, guide and problem solve, allowing them to coach/mentor. Another idea is for NCOs to identify information that should be part of all Soldiers base line knowledge. Have the Soldiers study on off duty time, during these mundane tasks, cleaning the motor pool, tuck March etc., have the NCOs ask questions randomly on random topics, with the Soldiers answering. <br /><br />It sounds rudimentary, but it works. As time progresses you will find more innovative approaches. Lastly, while the train is running your CSM and 1SG should be developing higher level more focused training for groups of Soldiers that will add to the foundation you have provided. They have the power to impact the training schedule. Team work is the foundation of how you will accomplish everything Soldiers endeavor.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I carried learning 3” x 5” cards in my cargo<br />Pockets. And could used them to conduct on the spot training in the field or in garrison.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT time. It&#39;s an 8 hr block set aside for training.
