Leader Development in Army Units: Views from the Field : RAND Corporation , 2008
From the preface: "As an institution that promotes lifelong learning, the Army strives to ensure that its leaders are immersed in a learning environment throughout their careers. Officers, for example, move back and forth between the Army’s school system, which teaches job-related skills and knowledge, and operational assignments, which teach personal aspects of leadership, provide experiences and immediate feedback that drive selfdevelopment, and expose leaders to role models and mentors. While it is widely believed that experience in a variety of assignments makes a large contribution—possibly the most significant contribution—to the development of Army leaders, little in the way of organized Armywide unit-level leader development programs exists. Furthermore, the operational commitments in Afghanistan and Iraq have increased the demands on units, making leader development programs more difficult to design and carry out. The Center for Army Leadership asked RAND Arroyo Center to help the Army in identifying effective and feasible unit leader development programs. This document reports on the results of those efforts. It should interest those involved in Army leader development and personnel management."
