Personality-based Communication and Productivity Tools

MAXWELL AFB, ALABAMA

INTRODUCTION

The United States Air Force First Sergeant Academy has developed a new four week in - residence course to train potential total force First Sergeants. The course schedule consists of classroom lectures, fitness, auditorium briefings and practical evaluations. Today, the First Sergeant continues to be responsible at a high tempo for ensuring the health, morale and welfare of the unit to be able to provide a mission ready force to the commander. Familiarization with and use of personality-based communication and self-care tools is essential for achieving this course outcome. Therefore, FSA is seeking to leverage existing industry expertise of a Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force in personality-based communication and self - care to quickly train the Air Forces newest First Sergeants; provide access to instructor professional development tools; provide customizable teaching materials; and provide ready-to-use student handouts. To ensure ease of understanding and timely certification of practitioner-focused faculty, curriculum should be linked by a unifying concept or model and use inter-linked vocabulary, skills, and tools. The health and wellbeing of our new First Sergeants and synergy with other Air Force leadership development efforts within the course, residency and self-care must be included in our course curriculum.
