CHAPTER 3: Leadership & Management Skills Please read the problem carefully. (5 marks) You're the squadron executive officer and 2nd Lt Brown's reporting official. Lieutenant Brown, who was a physical education major in college, has been on active duty for 1 year and is assigned as an administrative officer in a tactical fighter squadron. He wanted to be an Air Force pilot, but there was no demand for pilots when he joined the Air Force. He accepted an assignment as an Air Force Support officer and completed AFROTC and his technical school, hoping to be accepted for undergraduate pilot training (UPT) later. He hasn't been accepted and was notified a month ago that there probably won't be any openings in UPT for at least 1 more year. He isn't satisfied with his present assignment and, to this point, has not shown any interest in his job. He refuses to get involved in any decision making or management problems in his unit. He tells his sub-ordinates to handle all problems and not to get him involved since he's only interested in becoming a pilot. He has also displayed this same attitude to your supervisor, the squadron commander, and a lieutenant colonel. In addition, 2nd Lt Brown feels the Air Force isn't putting his education to proper use, because his degree is in physical education. He's an exceptional athlete and was recently selected as the most valuable player on the base softball team, which he also coaches. Because of his athletic ability and the success of the team, he's very popular with many of the key personnel on base who speak very highly of him to his commander. Lieutenant Brown spends most of his off-duty time, and a considerable part of each duty day, organizing and participating in the base athletic program. Last week, 2nd Lt Brown's unit was inspected by a standardization team from higher headquarters, which identified an absence of supervision in 2nd Lt Brown's area of responsibility. The squadron commander asks you what you think should be done about the situation. How will you resolve this problem using your leadership & management skills
