A PROGRAM OF LEADERSHIP INSTRUCTION FOR JUNIOR OFFICERS

Abstract

A leadership course for junior officers was developed, based on research findings that identified effective and ineffective leader actions and on leadership training methods of demonstrated effectiveness. The course emphasized study of the leader's interactions with his men in the accomplishment of assigned tasks, and the effect of his action on the motivation and morale of his men and on the unit's ability to perform assigned tasks. Student reactions to the course immediately after its completion were good. Follow-up data from the final evaluation group indicate that these favorable reactions do not diminish significantly over a period of four months.
