Developing Leaders for Army 2020

Abstract

Every officer in the United States Army is required to complete a Multi-Source Assessment and Feedback survey (MSAF/360) every three years in accordance with Army Regulation 350-1, to enhance self-awareness and enable officers to be more effective leaders. Enhanced self-awareness through the use of MSAF/360 survey instruments is most effective when feedback has been received by the officer and the officer develops an individual developmental action plan to improve their leadership behaviors. The current MSAF/360 system needs modification for raters to fully realize the benefit this type of assessment can produce in the development of Army talent. Senior leaders set conditions for leader development in their organizations. By understanding their own identity, senior leaders with enhanced self-awareness, create command climates where leader development flourishes.
