Addressing Deficiencies in Army Civilian Leader Development

Abstract

The Army has yet to implement a robust career development framework for its civilian workforce as it has for its military officers. Although inextricably linked and complementary to the other, the Army's civilians and military officers generally spend the majority of their respective careers working separately and developing differently. Producing quality professional civilian leaders is a foundation for achieving and maintaining the critical strategic leadership competencies the Army and Nation requires. A well managed, comparable, and integrated Army leader training, education, and development framework, designed to create shared and combined developmental experiences, is essential for growing competent and effective civilian strategic leaders of tomorrow.
