Teambuilding: A Strategic Leader Imperative

Abstract

Team building is fundamental to the success of strategic-level military leaders. The success or failure of any military unit is contingent upon its ability to effectively function as a team. Leadership Lessons at Division Command Level - 2004 cited team building as a key strategic leader imperative. An Army Training and Leader Development Panel (ATLDP) - 2001 cited team building components in need of improvement to include command climate empowerment of subordinates, mentorship, counseling, accountability, and feedback. This paper will analyze the aforementioned components of team building and suggest recommendations on how to improve team building efforts to foster effective strategic leadership.
