About the Course

 As officers and civilian personnel transition to roles of greater responsibility and broader impact, their leadership abilities and approaches must evolve to handle more complex leadership challenges. The primary focuses of MOCTC are Leading Self and Leading Others with learning outcomes that enhance self-awareness, critical thinking, and interpersonal mastery. MOCTC aims to provide graduates developmental experiences to prepare them for service 
as Coast Guard leaders who:

  • Evaluate his/her self-awareness to discover intrinsic motivations and formulate a plan for self-improvement
  • Analyze and improve the level of critical thinking to be prepared for future adaptive challenges
  • Develop the capacity to engage in higher levels of productive relationships
