Book excerpt: This book includes papers presented at the Third International Transformation (ITX3) Conference and Workshop on Leader Development, held in Washington, DC, at the National Defense University (NDU) on June 19-20, 2013, as well as a summary of the conference discussions. Sponsored by Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQSACT), and supported by the International Transformation (ITX) Chairs Network, the conference brought together academics, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss the topic of Changing Mindsets to Transform Security: Leader Development for an Unpredictable and Complex World. In July 2012, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin E. Dempsey, U.S.A., released the Joint Education White Paper, challenging those in the Professional Military Education and Joint Professional Military Education community to develop "agile, adaptive leaders with the requisite values, strategic vision and critical thinking skills necessary to keep pace with the changing strategic environment." In response, and to support NATO National Chiefs of Transformation efforts, the ITX Chairs Network issued a call for papers to increase the understanding of leader development, refine concepts, and develop content to be used in U.S. and international fora. Seventeen of the papers published here were presented in Washington. Two of the papers were submitted before the conference, but the authors were not able to attend. The views are those of the individual authors. Based on the themes developed during the conference, the papers are grouped in five categories: 1) Human Dimension of Transformation; 2) Changing Nature of Adult Education-Drivers of Change; 3) Perspectives on Joint Education; 4) International Attitudes; and 5) Enlisted Education and Other Concepts. We hope that you will find this volume useful, and welcome feedback

Download or read book Future War and the Defence of Europe written by John R. Allen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future War and the Defence of Europe offers a major new analysis of how peace and security can be maintained in Europe: a continent that has suffered two cataclysmic conflicts since 1914. Taking as its starting point the COVID-19 pandemic and way it will inevitably accelerate some key global dynamics already in play, the book goes on to weave history, strategy, policy, and technology into a compelling analytical narrative. It lays out in forensic detail the scale of the challenge Europeans and their allies face if Europe's peace is to be upheld in a transformative century. The book upends foundational assumptions about how Europe's defence is organised, the role of a fast-changing transatlantic relationship, NATO, the EU, and their constituent nation-states. At the heart of the book is a radical vision of a technology-enabling future European defence, built around a new kind of Atlantic Alliance, an innovative strategic public-private partnership, and the future hyper-electronic European force, E-Force, it must spawn. Europeans should be under no illusion: unless they do far more for their own defence, and very differently, all that they now take for granted could be lost in the maze of hybrid war, cyber war, and hyper war they must face.

Download or read book Leaders for Tomorrow Challenges for Military Leadership in the Age of Asymmetric Warfare written by Marina Nuciari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-09 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of bipolarism, the concept of asymmetric warfare, and of asymmetric conflict in general, has been increasingly applied with regard to armed forces activities and tasks. This book presents the findings of comparative empirical research conducted in selected military units by a group of distinguished experts on military organization, who hail from the eight participating countries: Bulgaria, Cameroon, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, the Philippines and Spain. It discusses remarks made by military leaders with extensive experience in the field regarding current doctrines on military leadership and their applicability in the field, as well as proposals and suggestions for new directions. “It is a complex relation, always based on respect and politeness, but often with mismatched interests.” (Army Colonel). “It makes you realize that there is a cultural gap. You must firstly understand who you are going to relate to, and the culture of these people, and then try to establish a certain kind of relationship. Often the platoon commander states his objective and must try to establish a relationship, contact with the village chief.” (Army Lieutenant, Platoon Commander). “[In Afghanistan] We had meals with the locals, sometimes the food didn’t taste good, but you had to eat it if you wanted to be welcomed back again” (Army Captain, Company Commander). These are just some of the many voices stemming from the ground in diverse international asymmetric conflict theatres (in Iraq, in Kosovo, in Afghanistan...), comments by military officers, commanders at different hierarchical levels, asked to reflect on their experiences as military leaders in crisis response operations. Military professionals, and military leaders in particular, perceive themselves as facing ambiguous situations that require an update in their professional training, and new skills to confront unexpected and unpredictable factors. Drawing on lived experiences, the book offers insights into what a new kind of leadership means when leaders have to cope with diverse and unclear missions. It also addresses leadership styles and behaviours, as well as individual adaptive behaviours on the part of military leaders, with special reference to middle and middle-high level ranks, such as captains, majors and colonels. Given its scope, the book will appeal not only to military professionals and military affairs scholars and experts, but also to readers interested in gaining a better understanding of the challenges that international expeditionary units are facing in crisis areas around the globe.

Download or read book Leadership in Extreme Situations written by Michael Holenweger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers various aspects of leadership in critical situations and under extreme conditions. Today’s leaders often face challenging situations or unexpected difficulties, and mastering these requires a wide spectrum of competencies such as creativity, courage and empathy. Therefore, this book provides an interdisciplinary approach including both theoretical concepts and practical findings relevant to optimizing leadership in extreme situations. Issues such as why people act as they do in stressful and extreme situations, or what constitutes the nexus between leadership/followership, organizations, and culture etc., are addressed. Leadership under extreme conditions is a very complex topic and one that has been approached from a variety of perspectives. The contributions to this volume thus originate from various academic disciplines including political science, social sciences, psychology, and philosophy. Insights from the study of in extremis leadership can help researchers and practitioners understand the individual, team and contextual factors that influence leadership and, ultimately, organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Leadership in Extreme Situations is a collection of contributions by selected scholars and field experts. It addresses key issues of leadership, morale and cohesion, as well as ethical questions; provides an ideal entry into the complex world of advanced leadership; and serves as a practical guide for the successful implementation of modern leadership.
