Leadership Development: Key to Success for Navy Civilian Workforce Transformation
Abstract
Naval transformation is dedicated to greatly expanding U. S. military options across the full spectrum of warfare by exploiting our control of the sea. The goal of transformation is to have a sustainable, immediately deployable Navy-Marine Corps Team ready to project U.S. joint combat power to meet any challenge. In order to achieve this far-reaching objective, the Navy has developed a transformation process known as Sea Enterprise, which will take the lead on freeing up financial and human resources for recapitalization through aggressive streamlining of naval business processes. This paper will address how leadership can be developed and applied toward ensuring the success of Sea Enterprise and achieving the goals of naval transformation. It will review current Navy practices for developing leadership, investigate current academic theory on the relationship between leadership and change, and examine the latest theories on leadership development. The goal is to determine the intrinsic value of leadership in the organizational change process and to develop some recommendations for fostering and applying leadership in a cost-effective, sustainable, and self-propagating manner.
