Developing Strategic Leaders for the War After Next

Abstract

This paper seeks to determine the strategic leader development model for the war after next . One of the cohorts of second lieutenants commissioned in the summer of 2006 could very well be destined to serve as the commander of a Joint Task Force in the summer of 2036. The current leader development model, forged by the events of 9/11 and the Global War on Terrorism, may or may not produce the type of strategic leader that will be successful 30 years from now. This paper analyzes the impact of the rise of BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China), technology, globalization, and makes recommendations for elements of a future strategic leader development model. Included in this study are an analysis of past and current strategic leaders and a review of the current officer personnel management system (OPMS). The paper concludes with recommendations for a future leader development model that will help meet the needs of the nation in the year 2036.
