Transforming A Culture Through Leadership

Abstract

Throughout the Marine Corps there are impactful, impressionable, and motivating leaders that continue to inspire the greatest potential from those, which they have a privilege to lead. These leaders are transformational as they set expectations that are more challenging; however, organizations continue to achieve results above the standard. Transactional leaders are much more common within the Marine Corps and it could be argued that they are more effective for a warfighting organization. In today's society, young men and women literally have the world at their fingertips accessible through a phone, which has been an unlimited gateway to knowledge. Leaders at all levels within the Marine Corps need to exploit and adapt to an ever-evolving and changing societal culture. In order to create a new culture within the Marine Corps that maximizes innovation, increases resilience, and adapts to ever changing characteristics of war, the transformational leadership approach needs to be applied at all levels of leadership.
