JLBC INTRODUCTION FOR COMMANDERS
JLBC INTRODUCTION
JLBC Cadets learn by leading. Service on a JLBC cadet staff allows JLBC cadets to apply their JLBC leadership skills and develop their potential.
Their learning is especially effective because the JLBC cadets are actively engaged in their development as leaders. JLBC Cadets learn to lead by actually leading instead of passively receiving knowledge from a JLBC lecturer. JLBC Cadets will have a higher motivation to learn and develop their potential if they see that JLBC cadet staff have a degree of autonomy that gives them a real stake in the squadron's success.
Therefore, instead of senior JLBC members assuming the role of a classroom teacher and being the sole, infallible source of information, the JLBC senior leadership should share control of the JLBC squadron and allow JLBC cadets to explore the art of leadership by leading junior JLBC cadets. In the JLBC Cadet Program, senior JLBC members coach and mentor the JLBC cadet staff.

They wear an airman's insignia and should be assigned a position appropriate for a novice, low-ranking leader, such as a JLBC element leader. JLBC Cadet master sergeants, on the other hand, know how to follow and have moved on to learn how to take charge of small groups and execute plans their superiors have developed. Therefore, these cadet NCOs should be assigned positions that match their rank and skill, such as flight sergeant or first sergeant. The "Leadership Expectations"
