How to create a successful NCO team!

It's pretty simple on how to create a successful Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) team, the key points are education and team work.

Firstly education, when I say education I mean NCO's knowledge of the organisation and individual development. They have to have at least a basic knowledge of subjects such as drill, uniform and the history of the organisation. If they have a high level of knowledge they are able to imprint higher standard's on to those they lead but this needs to be pushed by those up top to keep those standards improving.

NCO's also need development, many cadets lack skills required to be a good NCO, if there aren't told where they are going wrong they will never improve, once a individuals are given addition help on what skills they need to improve such as communication skills, this again should be those standards up and will also fulfill motivational needs. By having all NCO's attend a JNCO or SNCO course you will see an improvement almost straight away as they learn vast amount's on the course.

With team work, looking at my past cadet experience many NCO teams struggle to work when individuals have personality clashes, this is life there's going to people you like and people you dislike. In a team those differences need to be left out side the team, as soon as individuals bring this to the team, the team will split. The effectiveness of the team will reduce. If there is an agreement to work together as colleagues and have professional relationship the team can still work. Regular team work building tasks can improve the teams relationship.
With these 2 factors the NCO team can be successful and this should then pass on to the cadets.

Remember!!!
