Leadership in Peace and War: Are There Differences? And the Impact on Leader Development

Abstract

Leadership is the backbone of the military and has been studied by soldiers throughout history in preparation for war. This study examines leadership to determine if there is a difference between leadership during war and peace. It begins with a review of the leadership requirements dictated by Field Manual 100-5 and current leadership manuals. The second part of the paper looks at what is required of senior leaders in order to prepare their subordinates for the challenges that will face them. The final conclusions are drawn and looked at in conjunction with the effects of a dwindling population of combat veterans. Keywords: Military commanders.
