in what capacity do you serve in the platoon?
-
Give everyone 1 week off, sure morale much better.
-
Understand what they need, listen to their needs. You NCO right? And sometime what they need is just a BLOODY rest just to catch up with their schoolwork.

Fight for your men if necessary,a bit of welfare will go a long way,
u must be sincere and compassionate.
You must not be intimidated by harsh remarks, delegate tasks fairly,
no orders are to be changed if necessary, u must also work with your men, hands on if required.
If they take kindness for weakness, put them on guard or any other extra duties.
Commanders must always feed last.
Always take care of their basic needs like clothings, food ,water and health.
Remember: There are no bad soldiers but bad commanders. -
Create a relationship based on: you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.Originally posted by Diehard_89:my platoon like dying like that can help me think of ways to boost them uP?!
As commander you have to be firm and let your men always know what you want.
Your men(all men) want freedom and to enjoy, less micro management and things that other people dun get.
Tell them what you want but leave them to decide how it's done, never micro manage but always bear responsibility for it.
But as long as whatever you want gets done every little freetime & opportunity in-camp or at field give nights off or canteen break or smoke break sleep break as reward even when other sections commanders not doing it. -
Hey, aren't you the guy who can't get along with his classmates?
-

In another thread in Chit Chat, the same problem involves his ncc group in school.

Then I have to say that's a whole kettle of fish altogether.I have no idea how you can motivate a NCC platoon, especially if you are also their schoolmates and classmates.One thing is for sure, if you only bark out orders and never do the hands-on with your guys, you will not be well-liked and you will find that work does not get done eventually.Pehaps you could lay off the rank and regimental part when it's unnecessary.I mean, in NCC, the rank you have is not the same as the SAF.People shed sweat, mental stress and pain for that rank, in NCC, it comes merely by seniority and less sweat.So, keep that for the parade ground, let them know that everyone needs to put up a good show so that we can do it once and buzz off early from training.Put yourself in the shoes of your guys, and work towards that without compromising your leadership.People can identify a leader from the way he gets things done as opposed to someone who promises much but doesn't deliver.Hope this helps yeah, it applies when you enlist in the future too.Originally posted by ditzy:In another thread in Chit Chat, the same problem involves his ncc group in school. -
play some games that can increase morale?
hehe. although it seems to be atrocious since it's not kids playing games. but games are highly effective to increase group cohesiveness.
search from the net or library. hope they will have some good materials to lead u on.. good luck! -
organised to a trip to army camps to see how real soldiers train. hopefully this will boast their morale a bit.Originally posted by Diehard_89:my platoon like dying like that can help me think of ways to boost them uP?!

nay.. think you had to find out where the problem lies.. whether it is a relationship problem or simply a lack of motivation factor. discipline don't work these days.. you need to earn their trust and respect.Originally posted by Gordonator:organised to a trip to army camps to see how real soldiers train. hopefully this will boast their morale a bit. -
I know why already! Your platoon consists of your classmates!
-
maybe it's becos they joined the wrong NCC.
-
put some pics of zar bo ard during training.

I think sometimes really depends on the make up of your platoon, if 70 percent of people from normal tech...then there is really very little things you can do. Not against normal tech people, but many are slower in development so their attitude is a little wayward. But i think first you need to gather feedback on how they feel about training every week or how they feel about you or your batch of NCOs...lack of morale is just a symtom,look for the cause..
well..my 2 cents..
-
whats the logic behind this statement? anyway i know you have nothing against the normal tech kids.Originally posted by Jazzswing:but many are slower in development so their attitude is a little wayward. -
write in to manpower mindef for posting of chio-bu PTI.Originally posted by Diehard_89:my platoon like dying like that can help me think of ways to boost them uP?!

write to mindef asking them to send maybe an officer(probably from the service u are under, e.g. army, navy or air force).. ask him to train ur guys personally... think tat would helpOriginally posted by boy in blues:write in to manpower mindef for posting of chio-bu PTI. -
When i was in the NCC...i had no problems really...maybe its due to our Kickass CSM...
he demanded from us only the best....
he gave back to us only the best....
generally...making us stand out from other platoons made us feel more "special"
a unique cadence..
or
a unique cheer..
the unity is there..and we understood and embraced brotherhood... -
organise a bachelor party...nxt day all morale back to 100.

Knock them down?
