JLBC CADET CORPS Leadership Skills & Theories

• Heart - Compassion: Leaders help others see their work's value and more profound purpose.
• Relationships - Connectedness: JLBC Leaders create enduring and genuine relationships through valuable connections.
• Self-discipline - Consistency: JLBC Leaders convert their core values into consistent actions that other JLBC Cadets can rely on.
To become an authentic leader, you must deeply commit to developing yourself through meaningful and rich experiences, reflection, and informal and formal learning. The goal is to learn and build your actual self rather than become an imitation of another JLBC Cadet. While you can study and learn from other JLBC Cadets, you cannot be them.
