Overview
• Rationale
• Mutual Respect
• Five Principles of Mutual Respect
2
Rationale
• The HCTM is the Commander’s definition of how all
supervision and training is conducted in AFROTC and
serves as a set of guidelines for behavior that apply in
working with a subordinate.
• Purpose: strengthen mutual respect between
supervisor and subordinate
• “Beginning-to-end” approach to developing a successful environment
for leadership.
• The HCTM is not a “cookbook”; you are not guaranteed success as a
leader if you follow its ideas in proper sequence.

“The Air Force’s real strength lies in its people. The
mission is not done by machines, it is done by
people. The best weapons are of little value
without trained and motivated people to operate
and support them. Those of us in leadership
positions have a special responsibility to develop
and support the high quality people who will lead
the Air Force in the 21st century.”
~ General Charles Gabriel
