Easy one to answer this,
Leadership in the RAF is about making sure all your subordinates have done their CCS training and fitness test.
Those amongst them that you consider may have a future in the RAF should be encouraged to take on some involving secondary duty such as running the local scout group or knitting circle.
Always wear clean shoes/boots, never make a decision in public and do not criticise the station commander's latest policy on wearing short sleeve shirts.
To ensure survival, get some body armour that has a reinforced back and get yourself a suitable device for stabbing others in the back. Have lots of dinner parties.
Hope the sleaford tech treats you well.
