The Army and Franklin Covey Leadership Models: A Comparison

Abstract

This Strategy Research Project compares and contrasts the Army Leadership Model, as presented in FM 22-100, Army Leadership: Be, Know, Do, with the Franklin Covey Leadership Model as described in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Principle-Centered Leadership (now 4 Roles of Leadership), and First Things First. A summary of the key aspects of each model is presented in terms of framework, definitions, and constructs. The models' specific leader character traits, competencies, and appropriate actions for each level of leadership are described. The corresponding essential characteristics of the two models are compared and the resulting strengths and weaknesses identified. The concluding recommendations offer suggestions to strengthen the Army Leadership Model and leverage the valuable work done by the Franklin Covey Corporation in this field. These recommendations will also increase the value of training currently provided by Franklin Covey to the Army through improved linkages between the two models' key concepts and terminology.
