9. Cadet Leader Development Training (CLDT) SY 2014-15 The NCO Forum (Developing Personnel) The following was taken from an online Army NCO Forum: Hello, I recently was waived to SPC after being in for 18 months. I am preparing to become a CPL or a SGT, and I was wondering if there are any tips you could give to someone like me. Any links, resources etc would be highly appreciated. Which Army Regs would you consider most important for me? How do you effectively build your powerbase?

10. Cadet Leader Development Training (CLDT) SY 2014-15 The NCO Forum (Developing Personnel) Response #1 Always take care of your personnel Remember, you are here for them, they are not here for you.

11. Cadet Leader Development Training (CLDT) SY 2014-15 The NCO Forum (Developing Personnel) Response #2 Think of all the ways that your NCO's in the past have done you wrong and make sure you never do those things to your soldiers. Even the smaller things like getting your new soldier all the patches and crests from supply after they arrive so they don't have to spend money at clothing and sales, don't skip out on their monthly counselings. Don't make friends with your soldier, but always treat them with respect. Don't drop soldiers for amusement like some NCO's do. Instill trust in each other.

12. Cadet Leader Development Training (CLDT) SY 2014-15 Take Aways Your personnel are not here for your amusement. This is especially true concerning the Knobs you will be responsible for. Using Knobs or Corporals for amusement is not only unprofessional, it does nothing to develop them as leaders.

13. Cadet Leader Development Training (CLDT) SY 2014-15 Developing Corporals Utilize your corporals within the boundaries that they have been given. No Corporal is to work with a Knob without your direct supervision. Do not place them in a position that could get them in trouble. Do not allow them to put themselves in a position where they can get in trouble.
