PREFACE
Air Force Space Command's mission is to defend the United States of America through the control and exploitation of space. To accomplish this increasingly critical mission, Air Force Space Command must be nothing less than the world's best space and missile team providing and supporting worldwide combat forces. This cannot be done without talented, proactive, visionary and energetic leaders at all levels -- top to bottom.
History has proven that even in large, well-equipped military organizations, if the people are not professional, motivated and well trained, then the organization will not achieve mission success or win in combat. This is even more critical in today's changing, complex and dynamic world. Space forces are at the "cutting edge" of global presence. We need "cutting edge" leaders. That's what this program is all about -- creating new leaders -- winners who stop at nothing to be the best.
The focus of Air Force Space Command's leadership is mission effectiveness and commitment to quality in every aspect of mission support. We have established this Leadership Development Program as part of our Quality Air Force so the command's leaders can learn the "whys" and the "hows" of continuous improvement. There is no single formula for successful leadership, but if we practice what is taught in these conferences and seminars and take full opportunity to cross flow innovative ideas during these sessions we will produce a contagious culture of strong, positive leaders.
At every level, "leadership counts." Every Air Force Space Command leader needs to know and teach their subordinates the Command philosophies, standards and reasons behind the way we do business. That's what it will take to be the world's best space and missile team in the world's best Air Force.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM CATALOG
1. The Leadership Development Program Catalog is divided into two categories: conferences and seminars. A conference is a gatherings involving general officers from the field or wing/ group commanders. A seminar is a gatherings involving Directors or commanders below group level.
2. Use the following guidelines when planning conferences or seminars:
2.1. Begin all AFSPC conferences and seminars with an Icebreaker on Monday evening and conclude no later than Friday morning to preclude travel on weekends. Obtain AFSPC Command Section approval for any exceptions.
2.2. The functional Director conducting the conference or seminar should host an Icebreaker on Monday evening beginning at approximately 1730. The Icebreaker should be a casual atmosphere that encourages interaction between the AFSPC Staff Directors and the conferees. Therefore, all Directors or their Deputies should attend. Attire is informal. Uniform of the Day is acceptable.
2.3. Start the business session on Tuesday morning with a general officer welcome followed by the Command briefing. If the CC and CV are not available during your conference or seminar, use the next senior general officer that is available to present the AFSPC Command and Quality leadership briefings. Also reserve time for QI, JA, CE and other Directorates to make presentations, as appropriate. Schedule the Large or Small Conference Room for the Command and Quality leadership briefing. If your audience is too large for these rooms, use the auditorium.
2.4. Host conferences and seminars at Peterson AFB only; do not hold off base or at another base. Use base facilities for billeting, socials and meetings, unless they're not available.
2.5. To minimize conflicts, plan on only one conference or seminar a week. Do not host a function concurrent with the Squadron Commander's Course. The Command Section will approve exceptions. Reserve your facilities early!
3. For more details, reference AFSPCHOI36-2, Leadership Development Program Headquarters Operating Instruction.
4. For inclusion into the next version of this catalog, please forward to HQ AFSPC/IMT a description of your conference or seminar, target population, scheduled dates, location and OPR by 16 September 1996 for CY97. We'll publish the catalog by 31 October 1996.
