Together Everyone Achieves More: Leadership Networks and Interagency Relationships of the Judge Advocate Generals Corps
Abstract
Military leadership models are often hierarchical and restrictive, focusing primarily on the decisions of commanders and their staffs, to include their legal advisors from the Judge Advocate Generals Corps. While this structure works during operations, there are those areas of personnel readiness where there should be remedies available outside of the chain of command. Networked leadership, less formally organized and involving interagency cooperation, can be particularly useful; the nodes within a network each have input and benefit from the relationship between nodes. The purpose of this paper is to examine examples of successful leadership networks, demonstrating their efficiency and cost effectiveness. These examples are drawn from existing cooperative arrangements between, among others, the Judge Advocate Generals Corps, the Department of Justice, Department of Labor, the New Jersey National Guard, and the New Jersey State Bar Association. These relationships are distinguished in that they are examples of nodes in a network working together to resolve service member issues, rather than of unilateral action by one agency.
