POREWORD Because of the importance of effective leaders ro the furure oI Civil Air Patrol and rhis Nation, leadership training, to be given in the leadershlp laboratory, is prescribed as one of the four major contenr areas of the cAP cadei Program. This i3 fitring and proper: Leadership is a fascinating and challenging art, but lt ls an art that can be learned with study and practice. ]n addition, it is tbc responsibility of Civil Air Patrol to provide lts cadet members with the opportunlty to devclop to the utmost their leadership capabilities, This manual conteins some of the principles and rechniquesthat, when properly applied, will help achieve thls purpose. The leadcrshlp laboratory of the CAP Cadet Program provldes for cadet progress rhrough four increaslngly challenging categorles of re sponsibil ity: participant - followcr, particlpant- leader, planner supervisor, and adviser - counselor. Cadets in Phase Iand those in rhe first three achlevements of Pbasc II have the ststus of pert icipant - follower s ln tbe lcadership laboratory, They are lntroduccd to and acquire a basl c knowledgeof fundamental mllitary drill, As rhey lncrease rheir experience and proflciency during the last three achlevements inPhasell, they becomepartlclpant- leaders. Durlng rhe participanrposltlons leader phase, cadetsassume andaurhorlryln which thcy lnsrruct borh lndividuel of responslbiliry members and Equeda ln executlng baslc faclng movementa and marching movements. In the Phase UI leadershlp laboratory, cadets are glven addldonal respon8lblllry and aurborlty as planne!-supervlsors. They develop growlng leader8hip 6kllls through lhe aupervlston of subordtnere cadets, lhe appltcqrton of problem - solvlng technlque6,and the m ana!{ement of m llltar y formatlon s and ceremonlcs, Phasc IV cadets l'ave the status of advise! - counselorEln the l eadershlp laborstory. As members of the honor cadre, they serle as spcclal advlsers and counselorsend seekto lmprove the knowledge and proflclency of the entire rlnit. This manual ls divlded lnto two parts.

As cadets progress through each pha6e of the cadet program, they mus! master the parrs of thls Eanual that are prescribed above lor that pha6eof the leadershlp laboratory. Not only muBt they master te tequired meterlal during each phase of $e leadershlp laboratory, they mu6t al6o retain mastery of .!at material as rhey go on to and through succeeding phases. Only ln thi6 way can they lay a flrm trundatlon upon which to lmprove and lncrea8e their leedershtp knowledgeand skilts.

In partlclpatlng ln the leadershlp laboratory as an lnstructor, you wlll flnd the following suggestlons useful: In reachlng wearing oI rhe unlform: Dlsplay posrers and charts to showcadetsthe proper way to wear the unlform, Maintaln hlgh etandards ln wearlng of the unlform. use full - length mirrors wlth captlona on the 6lde; for example, "ls your cap on stralcht?" or "Are vour shoes shined?" Requlriadvanced cadeis to correct uniform dl6crepancies of subordlnates. Have sdvenced cadets polnt out lndlvldual dlscrepancieB at lnspections and explein methods of correctlng the dlacrepanclea. Have the unil commender demonstrate the Proper wearlng of the unlform. In the classroom or drl]I area, call on one or two cadetE to discuss major points briefly (2 or 3 mlnutes), after whlch the clasa can llat omltted ltema. In teachlng mllltary courtesy: Eerabllsh and maintaln hlgh 6tandard6 of military courtesy. Have cadet officers end NCO'S observe and correct mllltary courtesy of other cadets. Make on- the- spot corrections. Have cadet offlcers lead dlscusslons on militAry courtesy. Observe the rules of military courte8y. Schedule brief periods for comments (2 or 3 mlnutes) in the clasaToom or drlll area by cadet officers, NCO'8, and basic cadets on a partlcular phase of m illtary courtegy. Make sure that all cadets understand the reasons for obse ing the courtesles, as well as how to pedotm them. In teaching positlons and movements: Become thoroughly familier wirh rhe movement or procedure to be taught.

You mu8t kelp yourself informed on the individual and group attitudes in your unit, which together form the morale of the unit, Sometlmes it may be necessary to change an atdtude or attltudeswhich affect morale.

It is important, rhercforc, that you learn about the origin and natur of the CAP uniform carly tn your membership so that you will always wcar It in a manncr that brlngs crcdlt to you and your unlt. 22. HISTORYOF THE UNIFCJI(M Thc unlform is a symbol of digntry, pridL, and honor in rhc rradlrlon of milira-' s!rvicc. Thc modern mllltary uniform is a srandardized, distlnctive drcss prescrlbed by a counrry for wear by its soldicrs, saiiors,andairmcn. Amerrcan unlforms, like those of other countrlos, have evolved gradually over rhe yoar:s wirh an lncrcasing trend toward functlonal simplicity to meet thc complexiry oI modorn sliuations. Thc unlJorm of the past tcnded to be more decorarrvc than practlcal; today's uniform is the product of research and expedcnce. Clvll Air I'atrol membcrs wear a uniform similar ro the uniform of the United Stares Air Force, the dlfference being that dlstinctive emblems. buttons,jnslgnla, andbad8esarrcmployed ro jdentlty the wearer as a member of Civtl The present Air Force uniform is a lineal descendantof rhe variery of parmcnls worn b! the colonialfith(ers duringlhe pre - Revolurionary per:iod. These first Amcrican soldlers wore variations of tbe European uniforms of the same period, often with borrowings from rhe Indians and Irontiersmen. The baslc colors were brtght, lncluding vivid red coars like those worn by the Britlsh. In 1776 Congress authorized Washingron to r.aise an atmy by dir.ect enllstment and to prescrlbe a uniform. During tbe greater patt of the Revolution. rhe American uniform was offlcially a light blue coat, a three - cornered hat, a buff vest, and buff breeches and leggings.
The CAP uniform and the grade insignia it carrles are marks of responslbiliryassigned to its wearer. They are evidence thar rhc CAP member is capable of successfully performing the tasks that such responsibillry carries. Every

The custom of saluting with the right hand dates back to the period when allmenwent armed and all strangers were possible enemies, In the age of chlvalry, mounted knlghts worc armorthat covered them from head to toe. Whentwofriendly knights met, it qras the custom for each to raise his viaor with the right hand, while he held the reins with his left hand. This gesture signilied friendship and confldence, slnce lt exposed the face and also rcmoved the sword hand from the weapon, Armed men other than knights u6ually wore no vi6ors. on appropriate occasions they held up the right ban4 palm open, This gesture proved that no weapon was held in the hand and indicated that the meetlng was a frlendly one. ThuE, the history of the mllitary salute csn be traccd back to the order of Knighthood, whichfor centuriea furnlshed the braln and spirit and muscle of European armlea. The salute can be descrlbed as lbe beslc greeting between militery men - li lsthemllltary way of saylng "Hello." You dlsplay a higher degree of courresy by saylng "Good mornlng, Slr," or "Good evenlng, Sir," \rthenyou salute. slnce the aslute ls a greetlng, lt ls proper ancl courteous for you io greet contemporariea of your own grade by a salute. Because lt is u6ed most frequently, the hand salute 13 the mosr important of all mllitsry coufreglea. civll Alr Pairol has adopted thls unlversal cugtom of the mllltery, end llke every CAP member you areobllgatedto saluteproperly, The way you execute tbe hqnd Balute lndlcates your attltude and the state of tralnlng and morale ln your unlt.

Part of the trainlng oI a leader must be to build up a background of leadership experience which can be cariled over to and augmentedby each new situation. New elements are constantlv bejng ddded to the leader's equipment,and Iha old ones are constantly being reJined, The neighborhood leader you knew may have failed as e leader in later life because hls ludgment lalled to mature as he met new Eituations. Althoush he srill may have confjdenceand iniriarive, he may not be able to apply them effectlvely ln new, complex situations. On the other hand, another individual who wa6 not a nelqhborhood leader but who made a conscious and conscientious effort to analyze himself and his leadership behavior, may have learned how to use his expcrlcncc - to discriminate between actlonathat do or do not apply to diflercnt leader shlp problem s. This is called the "transfct" proce6s. h means that you can apply lhe general principles Iearned in one situatlon to another sltuetion. and p.rhaps dc\elop a new rechnique in rhe proacss. When you do thls, you eventually have ar your fingertips a complex network oI techniques, and the qualitles of character whlch neccssarlly go along with them, The lvholc alm of the CAP lesdership laborarory ls ro help you, and cach cadet lntheprogram, galne aeiol baslc technlques and qualitles oI character whlch can be applled almost by second naturc to any sltuatlon. Thus, the qualities and technlques you develop ln your CAP leedcrshlp tralnlng wlll be useful ro you ln all aspects of your life. Followers. To bc a leader you musf hevc the second component oI leadershlpt followers. As contradlctory as lt may aeem, you must bc your own best followet, not of course a6 an egolst but ln the sen6e of practlclng what you preach and followlng orders from your:superlors, Flrst you must follow the mlEslon that comes to you from hlghcr authority; then youmusr follow your own bellefs and practlces lf you are to lead effecdvely. Somedmes ir wiU rake rtgid selfdlsclpllne to subordinate your own oplnions and feellngs io the hlgher mission. You must, therefore, develop a wholehearted and complete sensc oI mlssion dedication. The best leadership ri6es out of an inner warmth and dedicadon which is felt in every detall of your actlvities as a leader. In a way, leadership is characrer lnfluencing the actiona of others, Thus, to be a leader you must be more dlsclpltned - and this necessarlly tncludes selfdiscipline - than your lollowers, Whetheryoullke It or not, as the effecdve leader of any group, large or Emall, you wrll be put on a pedestal, Your good actions will be lmitated; youl bad example will be followed. For good or bad, you give your cue to your group or organization, You must be wlth your followera, and yet apart, if you are to establish and maintain effective control. Your authority and responsibility muat necessarily 6et you apart. The great leaders of history in peace and war have known this solltary
intensity of power. President Truman had to make a decision to drop the fir8t atomic bomb, fully realizing that the rcsponslbillty for the consequences would be hi6 alone. This was an example of rhe ultimate in leadership decision, weighlng the terrlble pros and cons and then embarking on a course of action. As a cadet officer you wlll not usually be faced wlth momentous declsions, but you will be confronted with the necessiry oI making dayto - day dccisions. Your responsibilities wlll extend in all dlrections - to your superiors, yor.rr subordlnates, your mlsalon, and yourself, You must continually weigh the pros and cons of any proposed actlon. You muar develop the habir of working effectively wirh orbers, a habit rhar comes only wlth practice and experience. There ale no sei rules, no rigld formulas you can follow. Studying rhe grear leaders ofhistory, even observing them ln operatlon, wlll not make you a leader. You musr develop your indivtdual rechnique or sryle of leadership tn rhe bard, cold achool of practlce and experlence. Situatlon or Mlsslon. The thhd essential comF6fren-i--T-I;E?GiEEIF ls the sttuatlon or mission. Thls brlngs up a cruclal polnt: Leader8hip can be good or bad, destructlve or constructive, An underworld gang leader ls stlll a leader. Oftcn he makea unpleasanily effective u6e of the prlnclples of leadership in directing hl6 followers toward an oblectlve, His ml56lon, as well aa the means of attaining it, ls destructlve. Hitler end Stalin were leaders, however repugnant thelr misslons and methods. The di6cusslon of leadershlp ln this manual, however, refers to good leadershlp dhected toward a constructive goal. The opposlte ls bad leadersbip. In that ltght, effectlve leadershlp meens reachlng the goal, and ineffective leadershlp mean8 faillng to attaln ir, ln Clvll Alr Patrol, the overall goal is the accomplishment of the objects and purposes of the organizatlon, From thla broad concept flow rhe many missions of the unlts at all levels, Thc coal oI the cAP leader 16 the effectlve accompllshment of the mlsslon of hls immedlate unlt as it flts into the broader. pattern of the overall miasion.

Let us look now at some of tde elements of PerBuasivelesdership. 56. LEADERSHIP TRAITS what qualities must you possess to be a good leader? Just as there la no maqlc foimula for leadershlp, nelther is there t single list of qualltles that wlll make you a leader. Leaders do seem to posseas certaln descrlbable tralts, but they apply these qualitles ln markedly dlfferent waya. No two people wlll ever handle the same sltuation ln the same manner, yet both may be succesaful By the Bame token, no two people wlll sgree on one list of bsslc humsn treita that make up the personallty of a leader. For these reasons, the llst of quallrles dl6cu6ged In this sectlon 16 purely an attempt to glve you a plcture of an ldeal leader. It 16 not intenaledln any way !o impose An albltrary llst of qualltles for you to develop ro become an effectlve leader. The6e attrlbuteg have, however, been recognlzed as belng deslrabla ln a leader, and you Bhorild be famlllar vtth all of tnem. Seven of the quelttle6 whlch are mosr often conFrlderealnecesaary for effective leadershlp are dlgcuaaed ln tblg 6ectlon. There ls no deflnlte order of lmportance of these quallties. They are all nece6aary, and the lmpoitance ol any one of them st e given tlme dependsupon the sltuadon and the lndlvlduels lnvolved. You can eaally 6ee how on one occaslon, tact would be cslled for mo6t, whlle Buch qualltles as lnldatlve or endurance mlghr pley ln8lgnlflcanr role8. Then. ln dlfferent clrcumstances or wlth dllferenr people, any of rhe other quallrles mlght be needed ro handle a 6ltuation. ln addltlon, rhe cohtrlbutldn6 that the leader makes bv wav of undershndlng anal knowledge are noi aldays apparent, For example, operetions may be so smooth thet his organlzatlonel sbllity passes unno ced. Or hi8 technlcal competence may not be recognlzed becauae jt wa6 quledy added to ihe group effort. lnvarlably, however, the leader mekes contrlbutionE to whlch others are alert and re6Dond eagerly, lf sometlmes unknowlngly. He brlng;hls baaic personsl qualities to bear on the group. lf the leader has a negarlve personallty, his other contrlbutlona do not cet across, But when the leader has outstandln-gpersonal qualities and udeE them well, they help create a hlgh 6tate of morale, dlsclpllne, esprit de corp6, and efficlency - the lndexes to effectlve leadership. The basic attributes found in successful CAP leeders lnclude human characterlstlcs that help others develop quallry ln themselves. The tecbnicslly competent leader can organlze hls

The net resulrs may be satisfacrory,but in a purelymcchanical operarlon there ls no genuine satisfactlonor secr{ltyfot the men, no desire to dse abovetheir own limitation s. and no undersranding of rhe jmporrance of rha misaion. No robot can provlde leadershtp. The leadcr who brings the personal qualities of integrlty, responslbittry, professional competence, enthuslasm, emotional stability, humaneness, and self- conlldence to the group is the one who satisfies tbe needs of the men and produces real qualtry. These are some of the qualitles a leader ia expectedto posses6. Everyone posse6ses thcse traits to 6ome degreer but if you wish to become an effecrlve leader you must gain a t'etier under6tandlng of them and clevelop them to the degree that they are reaculy aPparent to others. Integrity of Character A leader who belleves ln and sdberes to hlgh moral standards earns the tespeciotother6, Such a man is 6ald to have inregrlty ot cherecter. It js beat expressed by sucb terrrs as moral soundness,honot, trustworthlnes6,deDendabillty, honesty, loyalty, and courage (both mental and physical). These quallrlea are recoSntzed by soclety aE dcsilable characterlatlca that merlt alleglancc, respect, and confldence. Every hunan belng constendy 6earches for the secutlty offered by a leader who possesses the6e tralts, A leader with lntegrlty 18 conslstent and constanr. HIa people know what to expect from him, He ls rcllablc and loyal ln the pertormance of his duty - loyal ro his supertors, hI6 subordtnates, his unlt, hls mlssion. and ht6 ideals. Others can count on bim to keephlspromlses and to complete hl6 asslgnments, wlth or without aupervlslon, And to enforcc orders bolh ln fact and in aplrit. Hls bone6ty, moral sounalness, and courage enable hlm ro uphold rhe prtnclples he bclieves to be righi, to go forward ln the face oI dlsorder, and to reacrfavorablytoanysituaiion wlth clear - minded calmness andfirmness. F rom lntegrity of character comes a senseofresponslblllty. SenseoI Rcsponsibility Sen6e of responsibiliry is that force withtn a leader that causes him to recognlze and do what must be done. It enebles him to think indeDendcntlg and to exercise lnlriative jn origin;dng anA carrylng through a proper and necessary thought or sct witbout superviBion. Itlmpelshim to accept all assignments, whether pleasanr or unpleasant, and it enables him to stay with a task until it is The leader 1l9hopoEsesses a sense of responslbilit) is declslve. He uses good judgmenr and common sense jn acriving ar timely and
correcdy, and prompdy when nece6sary. exercising aound judgmenthe examinesa Eituati from every posslble angle, gathers as mu lnformation abour the subjecr as posslbte, as quallfied people for their opinions, and carefr chooses hls solution aJter raking all rhese i consicleration. Two of the more obvious thlnqs takes inro accouni are (l) rhe experlencas others faced with slmilar sltuatlons in rhe past i (2) the possible consequencesof rhe decision A leader mu6t recognlze hi6 responsibil to subordinates as well as to superiors. Althou other lndividuals may be respongible for ce special needs of hls men, rhe leader ts bagically responslble for thelr welfare, and should check constantly to lnsure that all thel needs are fulfilled.

Ir is a kind of salesmanahlp that causes others to become lnterested in and willing ro accept $,hat ihe leader is attempting to accompllsh and whatistmportanr to him. The leader develops enthusiasm from a firm lalthin the value of hls cause,from dedication to accompllshment of hi8 mlssion, and from confidence in himself and hi6 subordinates. He dsplays his enthusiasm by cbeerfulness, optimism, wiUingness to perform the job, zeal,

He malntsins a balance between hunanenesa and his responstbtlity for accomplishing the mission. Seff- Confidence Self- conlidence gives the leader the inner strenqth that helps hiri overcome many obstacles' The facr rhat his self- confidence js qlllckly senEed by others results ln thelr increased confldence and strength, A leader with confldence ln blmself - confldence based ongenuinekno{l_ edge and abllity - has Prlde and polse, and he can make declslons reaauly.

THE SPECIALIZED NATURE OF C Sts A major obstacle to overcome ln d with a personnel problem - especially invotving a person who needs counseling that the real problem ls often bidden at gresses, Tbis is because tbe human per6o is cxtremely complex, and no two lndlviduals ever allke. Also, the causes of the per behavior (or misbehavior) may be hidden in his subconscious so that he is not awa

You will never be worthy of the tltle comor leader if you Ehrink from facing lt problems. When those ln your charge you our and ask for help, you mu6t prove worthy of their confidence, This is not a matter of permnal prlde but a matter *ing your duty. lf you spendtime in counseling, d find that it paya rich dlvidends ln terms ajsslon eccomplislment.

udice, or bias. II you allow your own biases or prejudlces to affecr an analysis of the problem, you are not litely to work out a sadsfactoty solution or help the counBelee rvork out one for him8elf. Using emparhy and ar the same rlme remaining completely obiectlve is one of rhe most allfficult problems that you will face as a leader, but you must leatn to develop such a In following the second fundamental of the counseling proceEs - getting the facts - you must realize that, although many oI the underlying causes of the ptoblem may be hldden, you do have acceaa to certaln sources 0f informetion. Facts from offlcial records can help glve you a picture of rhe counselee's beckqround. You can also obtaln valuble lnfolmatlon by diEcuaslng the counselee with others ln positlons to furnlsh reel inslght lnto thetmmedtate problem. You can supplement thi6 data wlth informetlon obtalned later ln the lntervlew, After you have garhered all tbe avatlable lnformation, you should record the fects and evaluaie them ln the light of your knowledge of human behavlor. Thc purpose of thls pr;llmlnery analysls ls to -deiermlne what- the problem 18, how aerlou6 lt lB, *har the baslc cau6e mlght be, and how lt can be solved, Before decldlng on e pos6lble solurlon you 6hould con6ider the lndlvldual's record and the DoBslble cffect of hls behavlor on other member; of ihe unit and upon the mlsslon.

If the ba6lc cause ls deeply tngralned ln hts cheracter and la aerlous enouch to create a mejor behevlor problem, thecounseleeln questlon Probebly cennot be developed lnto a productlve member. As a leader you often can deal effectlvely wlth minor personaltry problems. bur Civll Atr Patrol la not a rehabilltarionagency, It cannot provide the-klnd of counEellngneededby sertousty mataolusted pef60na. If you recognlze symptoms of serlouE maladjustrnents or lf you ate unable to determine the baaic cause of rhe behavior problem, you should seek the assistance of others - the commander, the cheplain, or the medical offtcer. They can help tdenrify the cause of the problem and determine wbat action should be teken. Although the commander ha6 the help of specia.ll6rs in counsellnq andquidlnq the members of hls command, he alone iJalway; re6pon6tbte for the finel aitlon taten. For ;xampte, if tt aPpeers that an incorrigible member of the unit is unreaponsive to e reasonable amount of counsetng, the commander is responstble for taking
in the unlt. If you devote too mucb of time to counaellng, you cannot properly other matters. Usuelly, problems of ttt' demand qulck declslon6. lf an lndlvldual a Frrce of contlnual dlaturbance ln the unlt, crn aoon undermlne motsle.

When there Eed that goes beyond your capablllty ln the Proce66, you mu6t fefef thecrunselee t chaplaln, the medlcal officer, tbe legal , or sny other 6pecleli6t lndlcated, to the work you have begun, If you show 6en that you heve a genuine lnteredt ln problema and are slncere ln ell your os wlth rhem, they l*lll not thlnk you are them the bruah-off vhen you refer them ?eciallAt for addldonal help. sTEPS IN THE COUNSELINGPROCESS Eren thouqh there are no hard and fast rules XBe you 1n counsellng, you will do well to I tbese three slmple lundementals ln mlnd: cPathy, get the facts, and analyze the fact6. Ptchologlsts agree that a counBelor mu6t ! 6e ability to experience empathy. Thi6 means rhar to counsel effecrively yoL Eentally put youraelf ln the place of the you wiah ro coun6el. You musr gain an rdlng oI that person'6 problem by looklng tlrough hla eye6. You mu6t always remember F.r are dealing with an individual - and iDdlvidual want6 to be treated like a being. To be a successful counselor you al6o be completely objecdve, You mu6t rirh rhe problem without emotion, prej-
ho* expert you mey be ln deallng wlth s of human reledons. You muat not your duty to the mlaalon and to the
63
action to discontinue that person's membersblp in Civil Air Patrol. The commande{ cannot ignore or tolerare an indlvldual whose behavior ls unacceptable and unresponsive to corfective actlon. The commandcr faced with a personality problem has several courses of actlon open to him, but fir6t he must decide whether he lvill attempt to deal with the problem himself or tum it over to thc specialists on his staff. The commander may go to the medical officer or the chaplain for advicc, but rhe final responslbilit) r's. A similar for thc acdon is tbe command. situation prevails at any time the commander and his stafl take action. Tbe commander may not be a specialist on maintenance, communicatlons, or transportation problems, but wben the specialists ln these fields glve him their best recommendatlons, he carefully conslders their advice and decldeB upon tbe best courseofaction. Once the cause of a minot behavior problem has been identified, consellng may be all that ls needed to set lt stralght. lf so, the next step is 82. THE INTERVIEW The lnte leur is used constantly ln counselln!! end in manasement. When the commander vlslts a unit and makes an lnspectlon, hc lntervicg/s those responslble lor performing ccrtain dutics As a CAP leader youwill wlrhln rhe orgenizarlon. use the lnterview as a valuablc tool to help solvc lndlvldual problems and to lmprove managemcnt generally ao that you and youf unlt can mcet the requlrements oI the CAP mission.

Through lnterviewing, the psychologist and the psychotherapist obtaln lnformation about thelr ca6e studie6. The journallst uses thc lntervicw as a means of gathering informatlon for his news srories. Because the intervlew ls u6ed extensively ln leadershlp and management, as well as for many commercial and practical purposes, lnierest has lncreascd ln pedectlng the technique6 oI the intervlew, OF INTERVIEWING 83. TECHNIQUES Inrerviewing, like leadership itself, is an ar.t that must be perfected. Also llke leadershlp, the only way you can lmprove your. interviewing techniques ls to practice. AII lntervlews might be consldered to be conducted lor one oI three pu4oses: (l) fact flndinq: (2) informtng; or (3) altering opinions. feelinss. or behavjor. The counseljnginterview clearii serves the rhjrd purpose. Tl'e fi'sl lwo DurDo;es are often comblned in inte iews whicb iat6 ptace in Civil Alr Patrol. For example, when

The third factor is the problem itself. If the problem i6 simple and fairly factual, you may use the more direct counselor - centered type of lntervlew. If the problem ls emotlonal end the counselee is upset, beglnwlththe counselee- centered lnterview, Let the counselee get some ofthe emotional charge out of hi6 aystem, If he ls too dlstrubed for you to identify his problem, refer him to your superlor or the unlt chaplain. elggrees Inrerviews In Civil Alr Patrol youwlll use ProgreBsintervlews to obtain or clve lnformetlon about tbe efforts belng made toward meetlng the requlrements of the unlt mlsslon, Information from progress lntervlews ls often included ln surveys or repo.ts preparedfor the commander. Proqress lntervlews are elthel formal or informal.

senting Liberty." The star, an ancient symbol of India, Persir. and Egypr, slmbolizes domtnion and sovereignty as well as lofty aspirarion. The consrellarion of stars (one Ior: each stare) within tbe blue field or union is emblematic of rhe Constitution. Tbe color red standsforvalor. zeal_ and fervency; \r'hite for hope, purity, cleanliness of life, and rectitudc of conduct; and blue, the color of heaven, for loyalry, sinceriry, jusrtce, truth, and revercnce to cod. c.

METHOD OF CHALLENGING: a" Durtng-iFti6Emg--bours, if a sehtlnel sees anyone on or near hlapost, he should advance along hls post toward the person or party. When v'lthln about 30pace6,be should request the pcrson or party to stop and be identlfled by challenging, "Haltl Who is there?" The sentlnel may contlnue to advance whlle challenging, or he may halt lf clrcumstances requlre. After challenging, be places himself ln the most advantageousposirion to determlne whether the person or party shortd be passed. b, If the person or party ls mounted or ln a veblcle, the sentlnel should proceed as when the per6on or party challenged ls on foot, c, The sentinel should permit only one of a party (the senlor member in the group) to approach him for the purpose of being recogd. The sentlnel houldsatisfy himselfbeJond a reasonable doubt that those challenged ale
what they represent themaelves to be and rhey have a rlght to pass. If he is not satisfi he calls the sergeant of the guard. In Civil . Patrol. it is not necessary fol the sentlnel individually challenge each member of a pa: when rhe senior member of apartylsrccognr he vouches for all other members in his pa: e. When a party approaches,the senu: repeating the answer to his challenge, Thu-.. rhe answer to the qucstion "Who is there?'' etc., the sentlnel s:! "Patrol," "Frlends," "Advance one to be recognized." Then r: rhat person ls recognized, ttle sentlncl sa "Advance, Patrol (Friends, etc.)." t. lf a person approachesalone, he s! :
be requested to advance to be recognlzed, A
recosnlzed. he should be advanced as indi above for one of a party. Thu3, if the an is "Fricnd," "Officcr of tbe Day," etc.. scnrinel say6, "Advance, Frlend (Offlcer c: Day, etc.), to be recognlzed." After recognr: tbe sentlnel says, "Advance, Friend (Offici: the Day, etc,)," g. If two or more Persons or Partie: proach rh the sendnel'a post et the seme tlme :: dlfferent directions, they should be chall: ln turn and asked to halt and remain halrei advanced. The senior ls advanced ftst i: cordance wlth the foregolng guldes. h, If a person ls already advanced r-c conversation wlth a aentinel, the sentinel : lengea any other pergon or party thar approach. lf a person or: perty chelleng.: senior to the one alrcady on hls po6t, the se:: advances tbe aenior.

A -B-C-D'SOF LEADERSHIP
Dr. Thomas F. Statonl Two generals and t$,o psychologists lecrured to a group ol offlcers on leade(ship. When tbe 6erles of lectures was over, an officer remarked: "I have llstened to four lectures onIeadership in the last week and no two peoplewere ln agreement, It lust conflama what I have contendedall along. Leadershlp is too complex a thlng to be pinned down." A painstaklng check of the lectures revealed that tbe officer had been entirely correct In bis statement that no t\ro lecturers had said at all the same thlngs about leadership. In fact, except for an occaslonal mentlon of the word "leadershlp" a llstener would hardly have know the four men were islking about the same 6ublect, Wa6 the officer equally correct ln his other stetement? Is, as he contends,leader shlp sonebuloue a thlng thai lt cannot be dlscussed,analyzed, and syntheslzed ratlonally, ln Sucha manncr that objective, radonal men can agree on it? Of cour6e, speakers and wrltera will not echleve anythlng apptoacblng exact agreemcnt on the sublect of leadershlp. You will nevcr find two surgeons who wlll agree precl6ely on the best way of handling an appendectomy.You will not find two golferB who agree precisely on how to play a certaln cour6c. Evefybody recognizes that no exact agreement wlll be found on bow to pedorm an appendectomyor play a round ofgolf. Bui no one therefore says, "Thls proves thst performlng an appendectomy (or playtng gou) ts sucb a complex thlng thet you can't pin lt down, You can't analyze or ayntheslze the things that arc involved, lt dcpends too much on the indlvidual," Is lt loglcal to make such a statement about leadershlp, alleglng ftat failure ofdifferent speakers or wrlters to agree on thc subject "proves" that leederEhip ts an lnnate, lntultlve art and not somethlng that can be analyzed and developed like, for lnstance, clty management? Let's look at thc lour lectures referred to for evidence from which to answer the question, Notes on the four lectures given onleadership showed the Bpeakers covered the followingareas: Dr. X Slncerlty Courage Integrity Loyalry Industry Patriotism Group climate Flexibility Human needs lnteryersonal relations Ceneral Y_ Be yourself Do your best Circulate lnspire men Be avallable Dr. Z_ Menral abtltry Mental alertness Knowlcdgc Ability to Personality When you try to superimpose one of these lectures on another and make them fit. vou find thar rhe' rack up wirh odd corne.6 s(likins our. exactly as a group ot pteces from a jlg saw puzzle would stack, The stack looks somethlns likc thts:
But look at tbose outlines agaln,anda6kyourself, "Whai wa6 each of thcsc lccturers gcttlng at ln h16 lecture?" It ls qulckly apparent that lecturer numbor one we6 tslking about charecterlstlcs of a leader. Lecturer number two was talklnq about rhc dynamics of leadership, Lecrurer ;umbcr three was talklnc ebout bchaviors of a leader observable by ht6 men. Lecturer number four was talklng about abil itles that a leader requires. Let's look at these lectures In another way, nota6 each bcing about "leade'ship" but each belng abour "an aspect of leadershlp." Irue, each of rhe lecturers had, by implication, indicated that he wa6 talking about leadcrshlp as a whole, that he was coverlng the field, but notes on the lectures show quite clearly that none really had. Each, hke the six blind men of Indla studylng an elephant, had seized on a leg, side, trunk, or tu6kof leedership and talked about it as if lt were all of leadershipl Exhaustive checkinq of books and articles on leadershlp will reward anyone with an lmportant icvelation: although the vatious writers will be considering different thlngs, dlsagreementamong them is as rare as hen's teethl Each one has, merely wlthour saying so (and I srrongly suspecr wlthout even reallzlng i0. been ralking abour a fragmentary aspect of leadershlp, Bur there will be substantlal agreement among those who wrlte
