Leadership, Followership, and Dissent.

Abstract

Leadership is the glue that holds the Corps together and is the key to the Corps' future. Leadership is an art and cannot be quantified. Leadership in the Corps has not changed, but some issues are surfacing that could have a negative affect on the quality of the Corps' future leadership. These issues are: The leadership and management debate; The importance of followership; and The tolerance and forum for dissent and speaking up within the Corps. In order for quality leadership to continue within the Corps, leadership must be the watchword, not management; the art of followership must be practiced and taught; and the Marine Corps as an institution must encourage and tolerate dissent.
