Final Report for Contract N00014-85-K-0884 (Harvard University)

Abstract

This contract provided initial funding for two large projects. The first consists of the development of a practical political and organizational leadership theory, along with its documentation. The second consists of an application of this theory to the problem of crisis leadership in the nuclear context. The first project has proceeded slowly but steadily and with success. The second project reached a plateau due to changes in the international arena and lack of sufficient opportunity and funding to test the crisis leadership model. The first project has consisted of two parts: (1) efforts to develop and document a leadership theory, and (2) testing the theory in mid-career and executive programs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government for its applicability to the practice of public affairs.
