Leadership Core Competencies

Abstract

The United States Army, Air Force, and Navy must develop leaders to meet the volatile and ambiguous requirements of the twenty-first century. To meet this challenge, the military Services must search internally and externally for leadership ideals and concepts to stimulate the evolution of its core leader competencies. As the fundamental building block of leadership, behavioral competencies serve the vital purpose of improving individual and organizational processes by defining and establishing leadership requirements and performance expectations. Although each service developed its competencies based on its unique mission requirements, ultimately, their different approaches led to a very similar understanding of what is required to develop leaders and achieve mission success.
