Future Leadership, Old Issues, New Methods
Abstract
The monographs here assembled are the work of students in both the AY98 and AY99 Army After Next Seminar at the U.S. Army War College. Their focus is on the leadership development component of the human and organizational dimension of the Army After Next Program. While the ultimate shape of the Army After Next is unclear, a consensus has emerged from the broader studies conducted through the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and elsewhere that the future command and leadership challenge will be significant. If a complete transformation of warfare occurs, as some posit, an accompanying transformation of command and leadership may likewise be required. This is not to say that the basics of leading soldiers is likely to change, but it suggests that the art of command, in which leadership is a component, is likely to be significantly transformed. The operating premise is that the tempo of operations will increase; the scope of action at each level will expand; the time constraints for mission accomplishment will diminish; and the tools for gaining and obtaining information will proliferate and provide near-perfect friendly and significantly improved knowledge of the enemy.
