Leadership Development

Leadership is the ability, regardless of position in an organization, to generate effective action that produces desired results, in a way that inspires trust and builds capacity for more effective action.
 
Leadership Development is a formalized, multi-faceted approach to personal and professional learning that ensures all cadets are instructed and evaluated in leadership capabililties to become the "highest quality" professionals. 
 
The Department of Leadership Development has overall responsibility for facilitating the integration of leadership development and training throughout the CMA student community.  It is the central nexus for coordinating relevant campus activities into a coherent and cohesive leadership program for the institution.  The department is responsible for the personal and professional development of the Corps of Cadets, to include Corps administration, training, and discipline.  The Corps is the integrative structure for the cadet experience at CMA and the central organization within which students learn, apply, and practice leadership and management theory.  Learning is accomplished through the academic curricula, workshops and seminars, personal observation and reflection, practical application, self-assessment, and performance evaluations. 
 
CADET LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT VISION STATEMENT
 
"The California Maritime Academy will provide all cadets with educational and experiential opportunities to develop their leadership skills as a core part of their college experience.  The Academy will promote the importance of Cal Maritime's core values of dedication, honor, integrity, respect, responsibility, and trust in daily life."
