"Your duty and the duty of every Air Force noncommissioned officer is to set the example for the young men and women who are going to follow you. "I can promise you without reservation that the men and women who graduate from basic military training, tech school and even the Air Force Academy today are looking toward the NCO for that leadership. "We need to improve our military professionalism. To do that, we must start identifying with leadership by example rather than management. Good leadership always produces good management." Chief Master Sergeant Andrews told the 400 attendees what it takes to be an effective leader. "An important ingredient to our success as leaders is optimism. The Air Force and this great nation have both succeeded because of very optimistic, men and women who have lived by the old cliche," When the going gets tough, senior noncommissioned officer of the year; MSgt. tenance er -- Squadron, Buddy D. Pace of the 508th Combat Support Squadron, noncommissioned officer of the year; and A1C JoEllen Barton of the 508th Civil Engineering Squadron, airman of the year. Chief Master Sergeant Andrews told the honorees, "Airman of the year is one , the tough get going.' We,. the NCOs, are responsible for the leadership of today and tomorrow. The optimistic leader sees this and readily accepts the challenge." He added that successful leaders treat professional military education as a steppingstone to success, are not afraid to delegate authority and instill pride and discipline into every phase of our their careers. "Our NCOs of the 1980s must accept the extra responsibility that comes with leadership in a most challenging decade. Should you or I not accept that extra responsibility, we will fail and fail miserably. He said leaders must possess integrity and loyalty. "Integrity is having the confidence to speak up and challenge a tide of events or question a bad idea. Loyalty and integrity go hand in hand. Just as it may sometimes be appropriate to disagree with your boss or your subordinates, it is absolutely essential to carry out a decision to the very best of your ability once that decision has been made. We as an enlisted force and NCOs must never forget our place in the military.
