Army Leadership in the 21st Century: A Proposed Research Framework

Abstract

This report presents a framework for future research on Army leadership. Seven key themes, reflecting research on leadership models, tools, and problematics are suggested: (1) Defining and assessing leader effectiveness, (2)Identifying and assessing leader potential, (3) Leadership development as an integrated system, (4) The management of change, (5) Leader performance under adversity, (6) Leadership and the development of subordinate personnel, and (7) Leadership of retention. Specific research questions relating to each of these themes are also suggested. Example research programs addressing the four problematics are also provided. These examples were derived from contributions by several military and academic researchers at a conference convened by the authors to consider this research agenda.
