Initiative, a Leadership Trait of the Soviet Officer.

Abstract

This paper is a discussion of Soviet concern and pronouncements on the subject of the initiative primarily of commanders serving at platoon through battalion level. Analysis is by content rather than statistics. The research is based mainly on publications of recent years and press articles written in 1974-1975. The analysis reveals that Soviet commentary on the subject is rich, their concepts relatively sophisticated, and the gulf between theory and practice wide, although not necessarily unbridgeable.
