Senior Leadership Cadet Conference

On the 2 November 2024, the SUO, the B Company Commander, and I were offered the fantastic opportunity to attend a senior leadership Cadet conference with the 2nd brigade Cadet units at Randwick Army Barracks. This included all the school Cadet units from around NSW. We were greeted by many acclaimed officers such as Scott Ferguson, the Aide De Camp for the Deputy Chief of the Australian Army, who taught us all about service leadership and the values we should lead by. I learnt so many insightful lessons about leadership and look forward to taking them on board to improve the quality of my leadership within the Cadet unit. I also had the opportunity to discuss with all the other senior leaders from different units. I discovered many differences and similarities between our leadership styles and unit dynamics. We also discussed ways our units could be improved and brainstormed ideas for how to do so. I’m so grateful to have been invited to this event and learnt so much. It was a fun and insightful experience that will aid me throughout this year as a leader within the cadet unit.
