U.S. Army Hosts Leadership Development Webinar Series for the Association for Career and Technical Education

May 10, 2013


The U.S. Army has a long-standing partnership with the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE)

due to the shared commitment to the advancement of education that prepares youth and adults for careers. The U.S. Army Marketing and Research Group recently supported ACTE in publishing an Issue Brief examining the role of career and technical education (CTE) in leadership development and is hosting six webinars for ACTE’s Leadership Training Program from April through November.

 

ACTE recognizes the Army’s excellence in developing our Nation’s leaders and identified the opportunity for the Army to share leadership best practices with ACTE members through a live webinar series. The Army-hosted webinars are designed to provide ACTE members with guidance on leadership development topics from an Army perspective that can be applied in civilian leadership roles. Webinar topics include: conflict management, team management, the challenge of working with limited resources, delegation, and decision-making. 

 

The first training on Leader Development Basics was led by Lietenant Colonel Richard Gussenhoven, Professor of Military Science at Fordham University, on April 23. Gussenhoven touched on the levels of Army leadership, the U.S. Army Cadet Command (USACC) Leadership Development Program, and the difference between leadership and management. ACTE members came away from the webinar with an understanding of the Army’s Leader Development Model and how the Army’s “Be, Know, Do” leadership philosophy can be applied in civilian leadership roles and organizations. The Leader Development Basics webinar presentation is available here.

 

The next webinar will take place on Tuesday, May 28th and will be led by Major Luis D. Martinez, executive officer at the Miami Recruiting Battalion, on the topic of Conflict Management. All subsequent webinar presentations will be shared publicly through the Educator Toolkit on www.ArmyEdSpace.com
