Leading Strategic Leader Teams

Abstract

Strategic leaders of the 21st Century face the daunting task of operating and making decisions in a world consisting of exponential population growth, competition over scarce resources, world-wide economic interdependence, technological innovation, and omni-present and changing dissemination of knowledge and information. Although only 1 to 2 percent of the Army's senior leaders will attain a command position of strategic leadership, they are assisted by others, not only by teams specifically designed and structured to develop long-term plans and policy, but also by teams created for specific purposes. Strategic leader teams research, develop, and make strategic recommendations to the U.S. Army's senior leadership. This study will highlight the competencies required of strategic leader team members, review the necessity of strategic leader team diversity, as well as discuss effective strategic leader team processes that lead to recommendations.
