Developing Effective Military Leaders: Facilitating the Acquisition of Experience-Based, Tacit Knowledge.

摘要

The objective of this project is to explore methods for facilitating the acquisition of tacit (i.e., experience-based) knowledge by military leaders. We are investigating the cognitive information processes through which individuals who gain relatively more from their experiences acquire information from stimuli and events in their environment. As tacit knowledge is a critical component of practical intelligence, we expect to show that facilitating the acquisition of tacit knowledge will, in turn, improve practical problem solving. Improved practical problem solving has obvious implications for improved leadership in the complex, rapidly changing environment in which military leaders must work.
