WEST point, N.Y. (Sept 8, 2010)--in the realm and collegiate competition, because the service academies stand for shared. But in the future, the military cadets and approvers as well as Blue Jays also bond and learn from each other.

The 29th annual Robert t. Stevens Service academies Directors Conference is one of these forums where Oscar counterparts can compare notes and learn how to use the modern leadership challenges.

The Conference offers a self-assessment tools and practical exercises in the academies to interesting things a little friendly competition through the dynamics of the group information.

One of the self-assessment or an MBI-Myers-Briggs-was used to assign a personality characteristics that can be improved or Derail group synergies.

Retired Lt. Colonel Pekka Berglund, facilitator of the Conference, said that even if such tests reveal more about the people, the results show how they work as leaders and they need to improve to work better within the group.

Berglund, leadership development is the appetite suppressant diet pills
top professional and Honorary Fellow of the Center for Creative LeaderSHIP, spoke of the importance of knowing yourself.

"Your people will not know until you know itself, and each is different," Berglund said.

Having taught this military students and senior leaders of the armed forces, the more satisfied with all the entire Berglund said, it is a lesson is a good idea to revisiting.

The program has evolved over time, but the basic thesis remains the same. Learning about personality profiles, temperaments, group dynamics, and social problems are always in the examination of the matter, the Director of the multi-stage wiring Berglund said.

"We have to concentrate as the Foundation for an effective management self-awareness and leadership team, we view the cadets, had been given the opportunity to," he said.

One of the more recent developments in the program is to share the challenges each academies; even if one of the participants service Oscar group picked face their biggest concerns school out, other served to offer their own experiences in a special reports based solutions Panel.

Using the fax message to Berglund said, is not the problem but to develop a dialogue with the leadership groups, to discuss the issue and understanding, no one has the right solutions service Oscar.

"This is important when they become aliupseerin officials and when they start working for different services," said Berglund. some of these, 25 years, is intended to be a four-star generals and admirals, and you are going to be a general international problem and the Pentagon. first, you have to work together?

"The law does not indicate more than anything else that the program is working, and they learned something today" Berglund said.

It is also an annual West Point Berglund returns the reason for having traveled across the country and even abroad in order to facilitate the Conference from time to time.

At the end of the Conference participants is proud Berglund told tradition to give back to the military in trade; a unique bond between those who have served to support those who serve.

"The day I was asked the question of how long I designed this," Berglund said. "I said that I will receive if you plan to make all programs except Stevens-the program is likely to be taken before I decide to retire, because it is the main program. "
