Getting Serious About Leadership: What Do We Have to Hide

摘要

The Army faces great challenges to meet the requirements of the future. New doctrine, equipment and means of employment will be required to succeed on technical, information-based battlefields of the future. We must also change the way we develop and select leaders for the future. That's what this paper is about. It examines the potential of the powerful personnel management tool of 360-degree, or multi-source feedback, as an evaluative and developmental tool for the Army. It also recognizes that a fundamental culture change will be required to implement the process and fully realize its many benefits. It concludes that the time for 360-degree feedback has arrived. The benefits for the Army of the future far outweigh any associated risks.
