The only way to train a leader is to be a leader. Good leaders breed good leaders. Bad leaders breed bad leaders. that simple.

I so disagree with you! I have had poor leaders in the past. It is up to the individual to take what he learns and use it correctly. I'm not saying I was the worlds greatest leader, hell probably not even good, but you can learn a whole lot from what you consider a "Bad Leader", and determine for yourself not to be like that and choose your own path. I will agree that having a "Good Leadership" example makes this easier, however it is all the path the INDIVIDUAL decides to take. This was instilled in the individual long before they met Uncle Sam. Yes it started at home!

OJT all the way. Seen to many book smarts that knew diddly squat in the field. Seen way to many field smarts, but passed over due to no book smarts. OJT/hands on is the best. Mentoring comes in second, as it goes hand in hand w/ OJT.

Experience is the only way to make a good leader, if one can learn from their mistakes.

standard military training is fine, but i don't feel that the military has a good handle on it still. The specific type of training used depends on the audience and what is being taught. The adult learning model (ALM) is great for senior level training. However, it should not be used for Privates in Basic Training.

Experience and mentorship create great leaders. Classes only provide a "possible" foundation.
