General Harold K. Johnson and the Ambiguities of Strategic Leadership

摘要

The environment of the strategic leader is one marked by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. General Harold K. Johnson found himself in this unpredictable milieu when he was selected over forty three three-and four-star generals with greater seniority to become Army Chief of Staff in July 1964. This study explores his tenure as CSA and the ambiguities of senior level command during four long and difficult years.
