Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper identifies the dimensions of Army commissioned officer leadership. Results are based on the responses of 10,978 commissioned and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) to the 560 leadership tasks in the Army Leader Requirements Task Analysis Survey. The survey was developed from over 200 interviews with Army leaders. Factor analyses were performed first for the officers and NCOs together and then each group separately to determine the most meaningful solution. The two separate factor analyses were preferable because each accounted for more of the variance than did the combined factor analysis. In addition, the combined solution masked similarities and differences between officers and NCOs. Nine factors emerged for the officers, and ten factors for the NCOs. The two factor solutions are compared and the results are discussed in terms of existing literature on leadership dimensions and current Army doctrine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history non-commissioned officers (NCOs) have played a central role in armies as disciplinarians, closely associated with the welfare of the troops and discipline in the ranks. Although at low levels of command officers and NCOs were allies, a strong divide existed between them. Officers, who held formal command authority, were educated to different standards and controlled every aspect of army doctrine and policy. The NCO corps remained, figuratively, in the barracks, separate from decisions effecting the employment and development of the army. relationship and in the expectations of NCOs themselves. The social gap between the ranks has narrowed and separation based on differences in education has become less distinct. Young soldiers are more aware of social, military and international issues than ever before. Better educated soldiers and NCOs now expect to be involved in unit decisions and are less likely to routinely accept the idea that officers know best. The challenge for the army of today is to recognize the opportunities for positive and to see that the army of the future takes them into account. officers, considers this challenge. The authors examine the historical role of NCOs as well as the factors influencing the future army and future NCO recruits. They discuss the implications for education, training, doctrine and organization, offering comparative assessments from allied armies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of the Noncommissioned Officer Corps is an important one, a rich history that continues to evolve. In this updated and expanded edition with narrative essays, paintings, photographs, and selected documents relevant to the contributions and experiences of those who are in the words of Rudyard Kipling "the backbone of the Army," David W. Hogan Jr., Robert K. Wright Jr., and Arnold G. Fisch Jr., as well as ten other contributing historians, prove the American noncommissioned officer to be a timeless icon. For more than two hundred thirty years NCOs have served alongside officers as leaders in the U.S. Army, not only in the barracks and on the parade ground but, most importantly, in the face of the enemy. The Army's reliance on both the technical knowledge and small-unit leadership of the NCO Corps evolved over decades until more training and professionalism became the norm. What this book does best is explain the historical significance of the NCO's traditional roles as small-unit leaders, trainers, and guardians of Army standards, living the Army values and representing the strength and resolution of the American people. It is an inspiring volume, a tribute to the self-reliant NCOs now in the forefront of Army Transformation. CMH Pub. 70-38-1. David W. Hogan, Jr., et al, general editors.

This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ADP 6-22 describes enduring concepts of leadership through the core competencies and attributes required of leaders of all cohorts and all organizations, regardless of mission or setting. These principles reflect decades of experience and validated scientific knowledge.An ideal Army leader serves as a role model through strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, and moral character. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within superior leaders' intent and purpose, and in the organization's best interests. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, accomplish missions. Every member of the Army, military or civilian, is part of a team and functions in the role of leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being an effective leader. Leaders do not just lead subordinates-they also lead other leaders. Leaders are not limited to just those designated by position, rank, or authority.
Download or read book Understanding Command style Leadership in United States Army Officers written by Jeffrey A. Cote and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Command-style leadership is considered a military model of leadership. Though the commanding style is often practiced in nonmilitary organizations, it is widely associated with the military in literature on the subject. The idea for this study was originally inspired by an abstract contradiction that says Army officers are educated and autocratic at the same time, a theoretical incongruity based on the premise that leader directiveness declines as leader education levels rise. This research was undertaken as a case study involving individual interviews as the primary means for data collection along with questionnaires to obtain background information that provided additional depth and meaning to the interview data. Face-to-face interviews involving 11 United State Army majors and lieutenant colonels were conducted. Study findings produced detailed information regarding Army officer propensity and motivation for using command-style modes. In a surprising revelation, the results of this study showed that Army officers quite often are not command-style oriented, particularly as they reach the field grade officer ranks. Findings indicated that officers exhibit less directive behavior as they move forward in their careers and take on responsibilities associated with their higher rank. While the data at first seemed to back the assertion that leader directiveness diminishes with higher education levels (most field grade officers earn graduate degrees), careful analysis indicated that reduced directiveness is not attributable to higher education levels. Instead, findings showed that military-unique contextual dimensions are major shapers and drivers of command-style behavior in commissioned Army officers. Context-based elements include the following: formative experiences associated with military training, the ongoing experiences that typify military life, strong personal affiliations with military organizations that have dominant command-style cultures, the potent effects of military rank and military law on leader behavior, and the harsh mission demands that are generally exclusive to military purposes. Future research should delve deeper into the aforementioned dimensions, particularly as they relate to noncommissioned officers, a demographic that was not investigated in this study. Finally, research that is specifically geared to explore the relationship between leader education levels and the use of command-style leadership in the Army could further advance theory on the subject.
