Malleability and Measurement of Army Leader Attributes : Personnel Development in the U.S. Army

Abstract

In the project, Assessing Army Leader Development in Professional Military Education, the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Combined Arms Center, asked the RAND Arroyo Center to conduct a study to support the Armys goals of developing leaders who can think critically and thrive under conditions of uncertainty. This report presents a review of the research literature that can provide a foundation for future study efforts addressing leader development. This review addresses the degree to which leader characteristics associated with attributes in the Army Leader Requirements Model can be developed through training and education and identifies approaches to measure those characteristics. Many of the findings from this review are relevant not only to leadership and to the Army but to personnel in a wide range of positions and organizations.
