Taking Airmen to greater heights

The Air Force core values are ingrained in every Airman from their first day in the uniform and every day after, both on and off duty.

 

Personnel from the Air Force Profession of Arms Center of Excellence, Joint Base Sam Antonio-Randolph, Texas, will be offering lessons on May 3 and 4 in the base theater to help members of the Mighty Ninety use the core values to reach greater heights.

 

“We need to focus on the good Airmen and build good leaders,” said Ronald Jenkins, 90th Missile Wing Directory of Staff. “That’s what this does. It’s basically enhancing our people and building up those good Airmen into better leaders, helping them understand their interpersonal strengths and weakness better.”

 

“Professionalism: Enhancing Human Capital,” is a course provided by PACE. Its goal is to develop an understanding of the roles trust, authority and influence play in creating leaders who recognize how professionalism drives behavior and who can developed environments that build increased commitment to the Air Force core values.

 

“I think it’s a great opportunity,” Jenkins said. “It gives you tools to use to become a better person, to help you become a better leader and overall to understand yourself.”

 

Along with the EHC version of the course, base commanders and senior-level Airmen will be going through a more leadership focused version – Professionalism: Leadership Based DNA.

 

“I haven’t gone though it personally, but a lot of our commanders have gone through similar courses during their commanders course,” Jenkins said.

 

The leadership focused course will cover different styles for leading Airmen and a multitude of methods for improving work ethic.

 

The five-hour course covers a wide array of topics to assist attendees with forming productive, healthy relationships in and out of the work place.

 

“It’s important for us to focus on those Airmen who are doing what’s right and at the same time to get anyone who isn’t on the right path in the right direction,” Jenkins said.
