AERO 201 - Team and Leadership Fundamentals

Credit Hours: 1

Team and Leadership Fundamentals is a survey course focused on laying the foundation for strong teams and sound leadership. The topics include skills that will allow cadets to improve their own leadership on a personal level, as well as within a team, starting with classes on the comprehension of how personality types can influence mission accomplishment. Classes on effective listening, followership, problem solving, motivation, standards and accountability as well as full-range leadership will aid the student in preparation for their field training experience. Case studies and video scenarios are used to examine Air Force leadership and management situations as a means of demonstrating and exercising practical application of the concepts being studied. Communication skills are further developed through oral and written presentations. Leadership Laboratory is mandatory for AF ROTC contract/pursuing cadets and complements this course by providing cadets not only followership and initial leadership opportunities, but also initial preparation for Field Training.
