Thinking Strategically About Army Strategic Leadership: Revolution or Evolution
Abstract
The 1999 Senior Leadership Seminar held at George Mason University on 10 September 1999 brought together key senior Army leaders and civilian leadership experts from academia and industry to discuss implications for leadership policy and practices within the framework of Army challenges, such as geopolitical and socioeconomic changes. Presentations by Dr. Ireland of Baylor University highlighted effective strategic leadership and human resource management practices for the future Army. GEN (Ret.) Sullivan followed with his reflection of the Army perspective of the leadership challenges. Following the presentation, the participants engaged in executive round-table discussions focused on: (1) how to reinvigorate and enliven the leadership development process in the Army, and (2) how to move the TLS imperatives into the future, synchronizing TLS with DOM. A major outcome from the seminar was a shared understanding of leadership issues by senior Army leaders, industry leadership consultants, and academic leadership experts. This document provides the background information leading to and shaping the seminar and an overview of the seminar process and outcomes. Supporting detailed documentation is also included in the appendixes.
