Overview of Leadership Development Training
This document outlines the promotion procedures for NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers).
Leadership Training is not only the means to promote members in a division, but a useful tool
in building leadership, confidence, social and general life skills amongst the senior cadets of a
division.
Leadership development training Camps or workshops are run by your region at different
intervals, and are the first step in the process participants will go through before being eligible
for promotion.
Since most of the leadership development and growth of future NCOs will occur at a divisional
level, Divisional Managers and their leadership team are the source to building and growing
the foundation of future leaders for St John Youth.
The successful completion of any level of leadership training and post
course and assessment requirements, can be accredited towards the
GOLD level Leadership Badge

The diagram on the previous page illustrates the progression of leadership training for NCOs.
Participants must successfully complete each individual step before moving on to the next
step. Divisional managers and the Divisional leadership team are directly involved in providing
the support and guidance during this process.
Leadership is not a subject that can be taught in a classroom and no matter how much a cadet
learns out of a book or on a whiteboard formal training will not make them a great leader.
Leadership qualities are learnt through real-life situations and unlike other subjects such as
maths where there is only one right answer; there are many methods and possible right
answers when leading at a division.
With this in mind, the majority of leadership growth and development will occur back at
division as participants engage in situations that test and expand their abilities. As a divisional
manager, it is important that new leaders are supported as they come to terms with their new
role as an NCO.
