For the last four weeks in the 09L Advanced Leaders Course, I have learned so many valuable lessons that I thought that I already know them. I will discuss all the lessons that I learned in detail however, now I would like to highlight the great instruction methods and technics that was provided by the class knowledgeable SGL SSG Apayo. SSG Apayo, showed me and my battle buddies a great leadership every day whether during class session or leading PRT and showing us how to lead PRT. SSG Apayo added many tools to add to my tool kit to be a better leader in the future and have better understanding of my soldiers before jumping to conclusions or pretending that I read their minds. Specific lessons and technics that I learned during this class were Critical Thinking, Effective Communications, Military Decision Making Process, Writing, and how to conduct briefing in accordance with the military style briefing. As a leader in the United States Army it is my responsibility to develop a method to communicate with my soldiers, peers, and superiors, with the methods I learned from Effective Communications class I feel that I am better prepared to take on bigger challenges also, I am better Non-Commissioned…show more content… I feel now that I have better understanding of the other individuals point of view, or at least I allow myself the time to think about the other sides point of view. Also during this class I have developed my critical thinking to think outside the box to solve problems, and becoming a problem solver all the time. Most of the instruction during this class, students were giving a problem and the instructor allowed us the time to think individually and try to come up with solutions to solve it. I felt that was a very good way to ignite the thinking process and encourage us to be problem
