Military Command Team Effectiveness: Model and Instrument for Assessment and Improvement (L'efficacite des Equipes de Commandement Militaires: un Modele et un Instrument Pour L'evaluation et L'amelioration)

Abstract

The increasing use of ad-hoc multi-national joint military units in a diversity of operations has made effective teamwork a critical mission success factor. The objective of our study is to support commanders in guiding and controlling the team towards effective performance. We developed a model and an instrument of critical factors of command team effectiveness - the CTEF model and instrument. The instrument is a questionnaire comprising items with detailed model element descriptions, which the commander and/or team members can score on a negative-positive scale. The CTEF model and instrument provide NATO with a common reference to effectiveness and teamwork for use in missions and in training. In a follow-up study we will apply and validate model and instrument in national and international military exercises using a web-based version of instrument.
