Leadership for Change

Abstract

Western military establishments in a period of detente encounter a number of uncertainties in their quest for the most appropriate leadership styles and strategies. The pace and scale of change in modern day armed forces is such that traditional situational leadership associated with well established means and objectives may no longer be sufficient. At a time when the nature of primary goals, long-term norms and societal preferences makes it difficult to identity and prioritize individual organizational strategies it is useful to review the overall experience of national military establishments. Such a review is most effectively carried out through a comparative approach which through it may not produce prescriptive solutions, provides a greater understanding of the challenges to be faced.
