What is expected of cadets in relation to leadership roles?

Cadets are expected to seek out leadership opportunities and grow within those roles. Engaging in leadership allows cadets to develop essential skills such as decision-making, teamwork, and communication. By taking initiative in leadership positions, cadets not only enhance their own abilities but also contribute positively to their groups and overall missions. This proactive approach encourages personal development and prepares cadets for future responsibilities, both in the JROTC program and beyond.

In contrast to this role, other choices reflect attitudes that limit engagement in leadership practices. Avoiding leadership initiatives or focusing solely on followership does not facilitate growth or development of the leadership skills crucial for success in the program. Similarly, remaining passive in group settings undermines the collaborative and participative nature of effective leadership. Seeking and embracing leadership roles is essential for cadets to thrive and fulfill their potential within the JROTC framework.
