00:06.780 --> 00:09.230
This is an Air Force report . Air Force

00:09.230 --> 00:11.286
Weeks give communities the chance to

00:11.286 --> 00:13.452
see the Air Force in action . Sergeant

00:13.452 --> 00:15.730
Mike Slater takes us to Air Force Week .

00:15.730 --> 00:17.980
Hampton Roads where the public saw how

00:17.980 --> 00:20.870
an airman turns into a leader . A panel

00:20.870 --> 00:23.092
of Air Force senior leaders met as part

00:23.092 --> 00:25.037
of Hampton Roads Air Force Week to

00:25.037 --> 00:27.037
discuss aspects of leadership . The

00:27.037 --> 00:29.092
Secretary of the Air Force , Michael

00:29.092 --> 00:31.037
Donley noted , it's today's Junior

00:31.037 --> 00:33.037
Raymond , that will judge how their

00:33.037 --> 00:32.980
leaders of dan . My hope is that we

00:32.980 --> 00:35.640
will have passed that test and that we

00:35.640 --> 00:37.696
will not only have given them an Air

00:37.696 --> 00:40.790
Force ready for their leadership , but

00:40.790 --> 00:42.990
we will have prepared them to lead the

00:42.990 --> 00:45.101
future Air Force . A key thought from

00:45.101 --> 00:47.046
the panel was leaders should allow

00:47.046 --> 00:49.268
their people to express their ideas . I

00:49.268 --> 00:51.046
think leaders have to create an

00:51.046 --> 00:52.990
environment an environment that is

00:52.990 --> 00:55.212
inclusive and collaborative . The panel

00:55.212 --> 00:57.157
also charged followers not to take

00:57.157 --> 00:59.323
criticism of their ideas as criticisms

00:59.323 --> 01:01.323
of themselves . Staff Sergeant Mike
