DM Arena1 Discipline Model Analysis

Based on lessons covered in module seven the discipline model concentrated in DM Arena1-Prevention stood out to me the most. It stands out to me the most because and a leader and a maintainer, the use of discipline can essentially be the difference between a munition releasing correctly or a bad guy getting away. The goal of prevention is to stop a problem before it occurs. The main focus of prevention as it relates to the discipline model is to set standards, establish rapport, and create a climate of accountability. The set standard aspect is paramount to discipline as a whole, without established lines of what is allowed and what is not, the entire process is immediately compromised. It is my responsibility as a leader to clearly communicate intent behind standards, for what is allowed and what is not. I witnessed an Airman not complete all steps of an assigned task. In this situation I should have acted and enforced a standard that should’ve already been established.
As a leader setting the standard starts with my behavior, what I do/don’t is emulated regardless of what I want. It is my responsibility to let my work center know where I stand on any standard available, my example may be the deterrent needed in one situation or another. In the correct approach to the subordinate, at my nearest opportunity should’ve been to let him know the importance of each step listed for any job performed. Also, I should have let him know that anything less than the standard will not be tolerated. This example of informal feedback helps establish rapport, remind my subordinate that standards are present for a reason and that anything less will be corrected
