2009 Center for Army Leadership Annual Survey of Army Leadership (CASAL): Main Findings

Abstract

Since 2005, the Annual Survey of Army Leadership (CASAL) has been an established effort by the Center for Army Leadership (CAL), Combined Arms Center (CAC) to assess and track trends in Army leader attitudes of leader development, the quality of leadership, and the contribution of leadership to mission accomplishment. Existing data sources were contrasted with newly obtained data for Army leadership performance, gaps in perceptions, and trends across leadership areas for uniformed and civilian leaders of the U.S. Army. New data (5,136 Active Component leaders; 7,007 Reserve Component leaders, and 9,414 civilian leaders) were collected on over 200 items dealing with quality of leadership (overall quality, differences in deployed and non-deployed, effectiveness on core leader competencies and attributes) and leader development (superior support for leader development, efficacy of practices, unit training efficacy). This report examines 4 primary areas: quality of leadership, contribution of actions and character to leadership, effects of climate and situational factors on leadership, and quality of leader development.
