How does the Army’s Leadership Requirements Model relate to OC/T training?

The Army’s Leadership Requirements Model is integral to the development and enhancement of leadership skills within the organization. By providing a structured framework, it outlines the essential attributes, competencies, and actions that characterize effective leadership. This model emphasizes not just the inherent qualities of leaders but also the necessary skills they need to inspire, guide, and support their teams effectively.

In the context of OC/T (Observer-Coach/Trainer) training, this model is critical as it helps OC/Ts understand the leadership qualities they should exemplify and cultivate in themselves and the soldiers they are training. By aligning OC/T training with the Leadership Requirements Model, leaders can effectively model behaviors and skills that promote a cohesive and high-performing unit, ultimately enhancing operational success. The emphasis on leadership development within this framework ensures that training is not just functional but also focused on nurturing the next generation of leaders in the Army.
