29. SKILLS OF A LEADER

30. Operate independently - When planning for an event (i.e. Open House), work is split up and a leader must be able to finish his/her part of the work independently so that planning of the event can be carried out smoothly and efficiently

31. Able to communicate, coordinate, and negotiate with a variety of personnel - For example in ACJC, leaders of various CCAs must be able to communicate with their teacher-in-charge so that the teachers can be kept updated with the progress of the CCA etc. Also, leaders must be able to communicate with members of their CCAs so that members feel the sense of belonging to the CCA and would attend training

32. Must maintain tactical and technical competence, as applicable in their designated fields For example, the captain of the swim team must be able to swim if not he/she would not be a role model to the swim members

33. Competent and professionals who understand the strategic implications of their actions, behaviors, and objectives. For example, the captain or vice captain of the swim team must not skip training for invalid reasons and also not slack around during training as it would result in the other members slacking too since their leaders are doing it.

34. RESPONSIBILTIES

35. Set and exemplify the highest ethical and professional standards as embodied in the Army Values. For example, as a leader in ACJC, he/she must set the highest standard in terms of the basic rules like attire, behaviour etc. so that he/she can be a role model for the rest to follow

36. Ensure the physical, moral, personal, and professional wellbeing of subordinates. For example, in swimming, a leader must be able to take care of the other swimmers and ensure that they are fit for training and also get to know the swimmers better.

37. Build cohesive teams and empower subordinates. For example, leaders must be able to work as a team so as to efficiently complete a task. Also, a leader must be able to give instructions to group members and work well with group members.

38. For example, we leaders must share our experiences with our members after this trip so that they can apply it to their daily lives. Leaders must teach their members so that everyone improves together. Teach, coach, and counsel subordinates.

39. Build discipline while inspiring motivation, confidence, enthusiasm, and trust in subordinates. For example, the leaders of the swim team must not only know how to train and swim well but also ensure that swimmers attend training and do not fool around during training. Also, leaders must design a program so that swimmers can look forward to training.

40. Treat subordinates with dignity, respect, fairness, and consistency. For example, leaders in ACJC cannot abuse their authority and make others do “dirty jobs” but instead treat subordinates as the same level as them and do equal amount of work at the same intensity.

41. Anticipate and manage change and be able to act quickly and decisively under pressure. For example, during a camp, though it is pre-planned, there may be changes during the camp and a leader must be able to respond well to that change so that the camp can carry on smoothly.
