Commands with less than 50 military personnel have no requirement to have a formally trained CTT if they can arrange to participate in the NR&R workshops of a host or neighbor command. They still are responsible for addressing command-specific issues and policy updates. Commands must document formal training as a CTT member in the Sailor’s service record. Members of the CTT who are inactive in the CTT process  for  over  24  months  must  repeat  the  formal training. Members of the CTT should complete the Equal Opportunity in the Navy  nonresident  training  course (NAVEDTRA 13099-E) within 3 months of assignment to the training team. Prospective CTT members must have a minimum of  18  months  remaining  from  their  assignment  date before their planned rotation date (PRD). SUMMARY In today’s Navy with resources at a minimum, the petty officer is called upon even more to be a front-line leader.  Petty  officers  must  be  skilled  in  work  center leadership/supervision,  especially  in  the  areas  of  job planning,   counseling,   training,   and   motivating subordinates. The rights and responsibilities of all Navy personnel are important and are emphasized by effective leadership. The extent to which you, as a Navy leader, apply leadership skills depends partially on your level in the  chain  of  command  or  your  specific  job  situation. Some skills, for instance, are more important for a petty officer than for a commanding officer; nevertheless, all are important for effective leadership. Whatever  the  job  or  situation,  you  exhibit  better leadership skills when you have pride in yourself, the Navy,   and   your   country.   You   also   exhibit   better leadership skills when you act in a professional manner in   your   rating   and   in   your   role   as   a   leader.   Such traditional  Navy  values  as  honesty,  respect,  and  trust are NOT dead. They are alive and well—they are seen in the Navy’s most effective leaders. As  a  petty  officer,  you  will  sometimes  be  in  a supervisory position. You will have the responsibility to  understand  your  people’s  needs  and  to  help  them meet  their  needs  while  helping  to  achieve  the  Navy’s mission.  Because  you  have  a  great  influence  on  your people,   you   should   strive   to   be   a   strong,   positive influence that will aid in their growth. Being   a   leader   entails   many   different   skills. However,   most   of   those   skills   involve   pride, professionalism,   and   an   understanding   of   those working for you. Only through diligent study and hard work will you rise from one of the crowd to become a true Navy leader.
