SMSgt Wilson calls TSgt Tilley into his office and says, "I have a tasker that requires
you to communicate
with every individual in the unit. We need to show the positive impact of these new
procedures. You might have to tutor and advise some of our new folks on the new
process and I
know you like that kind of stuff, so I'm going to give you this one."
TSgt Tilley's behavioral tendencies are MOSTLY aligned with the ___________ dimension.
Give this one a try later!
Influence. The influence dimension emphasis is on shaping the environment
by
influencing or persuading others. This includes contacting people
(communicate with every
individual in the unit), making a favorable impression (show a positive
impact), and coaching
and counseling (tutor and advise).
,SMSgt Alexander was tasked to figure out why his unit has experienced a high CDC
failure rate over
the past six months and to develop a solution to fix the problem. He conducted some
fact finding
and identified a solution. While briefing the commander about his idea, he explained
he talked
with airmen on the night shift that passed the test and was told they felt more
comfortable with the
material because they had time to study at work, since their shift isn't very busy. When
he talked to
those on day shift that failed, they said they didn't have much time to study at work
because their
shift is the busiest of the day. He also told the commander the day shift had the most
CDC failures...
the night shift only had one. So, because those on nights had time to study at work
and those on
days didn't, he suggested the commander provide study time for those on the day
shift in order to
help increase the amount of study time they have.
This scenario BEST identifies SMSgt Alexander's use of the __________________ Reasoning
Element.

Inferences. The Inferences reasoning element focuses on the conclusions
and/or solutions
that logically follow the evidence. In the scenario, SMSgt Alexander
engaged in fact finding
in order to gather his evidence. He found that those on days didn't have as
much student
time as those on nights. Therefore, he inferred that to decrease the number
of CDC failures,
his commander should provide time during the duty day for those on the
day shift to study.
, SMSgt Todd remembers her PPS lesson in the SNCOA distance learning course. She
calls TSgt Smith
into her office and says, "I noticed you are the type of person that likes to move fast
on stuff at
work. I have a project that requires you to take the lead and give me a hurried
turnaround on it. It
may also require you to manage some of the concerns of others. Smith replies, "I do
like to be in
charge of things...when can I start?" The next day, Todd notices Smith directing several
aspects of
the project without any supervision.
SMSgt Todd's actions BEST illustrate her understanding that TSgt Smith is mostly in
the______
dimension of PPS.

Dominance. The dominance dimension emphasis is on shaping the
environment
by overcoming opposition to accomplish results. This includes getting
immediate results (move
fast), authority (take the lead), quick decisions (hurried turnaround), and
power (be in charge).
Although there is one aspect of steadiness (manage some of the concerns
of others), there's
more evidence of the dominance dimension in the scenario.
While working on a team project, TSgt White asks, "Why are we not making any
progress on the
project? We're all focused on the topic; however, it seems like we can't agree on the
way forward.
We might need someone to help us channel this gap." SMSgt Browning replies,
"Sometimes it
depends on the other team members' perspective which makes it hard to make
progress."
