Veterans

Our military job seekers possess experience unmatched by non-military applicants. They have demonstrated performance in high-stress situations, and are graduates of the nation’s military academies, top colleges, and leading technical schools. 

Mission Success Corp. recognizes this which is why we have developed a Leadership Academy to assist Veterans as they prepare to enter the civilian work environment. The specialized courses include:

Module 1 – Leadership: Setting the Foundation

The Veteran’s Leadership Academy begins with each student completing a Leadership Assessment. It is important that each student understand where they are as they begin their leadership journey. Module 1 will define leadership and leadership styles and discuss leadership myths and the importance of leadership in the workplace.

Students will also take an Emotional Intelligence assessment and discuss the role Emotional Intelligence plays in every leader’s leadership journey. Students will explore concepts of Emotional Intelligence through healthy group discussions and group exercises. These topics are important for students to explore as every leader needs to achieve a deep understanding of self-awareness as it relates to leadership responsibilities and behaviors. 

Module II – Finding the Leader Within

Module II explores the growth that comes with failure and success and the importance of learning from each experience. Students will also delve into the first two levels of John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership. Students will study the basics of effective communication and the key to motivating and inspiring others. These topics are essential to the success of every leader. 

Module III – The Leadership Influence

This module explores Level 3 and 4 of John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership. Students will discover how Production is critical to a leader’s reputation and how People Development is significant to creating and maintaining relationships in the workplace. 

Students will also learn how to communicate across generations to connect with people of all ages. Communicating effectively with all generations is required if the leader is to share the purpose of the organization, highlight the values everyone shares, and identify the importance of each person’s role and contributions to the success of the organization. Effective communication is an important skill for every leader as it is a key ingredient to a positive and healthy organizational culture.

Module IV - Leadership In Action

Module IV begins with a review of Levels 1 – 4 of John Maxwell’s 5 Levels of Leadership. Students will then be introduced to Level 5, The Pinnacle. Included in Module IV is learning Conflict Management skills, how to Build Relationships and Increase Engagement, and finally, a full review of the 5 Levels of Leadership. Students will put their new knowledge to work as they complete practical team exercises that will allow each student to demonstrate their new leadership skills and their ability to successfully work as a member of a team.
