Subordinates' Assessments of Leadership in the Canadian Army

摘要

In 1995, in response to direction from the Commander of the Army, a research team conducted a series of focus groups with some 900 service personnel to evaluate 'morale in the Army.' In their 1995 final report entitled 'Modernization of the quality of life in the Army--Final report,' the team offered a total of 110 recommendations (later refined into 39 critical content areas) considered significant for the improvement of quality of life (QOL) in the Army. Between March and July 1996, Commander LFC issued a series of five action directives in which he stated his intent to change what he could with a view to improving QOL in the Army. At the same time, he directed that subordinate commanders take what actions they could.
