## Glossary

11. Purpose This regulation
a. Establishes Army policy for leadership, by defining key terms associated with leadership, assigning responsibilities for management of leadership policy, and clarifying responsibilities and definitions among the Army leadership policy proponent, Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G1, the Army leader development policy proponent (DCS, G3/5/7), and the Center for Army Leadership proponent, the United States (US) Army Training and Doctrine Command/ Combined Arms Center (TRADOC/CAC) with the goal of successfully synchronizing all leadership and leader development policy.

b. Provides direction and guidance to the Center for Army Leadership (CAL) (through TRADOC/CAC) for research, doctrine development, leadership assessment, training, and evaluation in all areas pertaining to Army leadership.

## 12. References Required And Related Publications And Prescribed And Referenced Forms Are Listed In Appendix A. 13. Explanation Of Abbreviations And Terms Abbreviations And Terms Used In This Regulation Are Explained In The Glossary.

14. Leadership overview a. The Army defines leadership as influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation, while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.

b. The Department of the Army (DA) mission is to provide necessary forces and capabilities to combatant commanders to support national security and defense strategies. The Army's strategic objectives clearly state the Army's purpose: provide relevant and ready land power for the 21st century security environment; train and equip Soldiers to serve as warriors and grow as adaptive leaders; sustain an all-volunteer force composed of highly competent Soldiers that are provided an equally high quality of life; and provide infrastructure and support to enable the force to fulfill its strategic roles and missions. The means of this strategy are people more specifically, leaders. This regulation focuses on leaders at all levels and in all cohorts: officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, Soldiers, and DA civilians. These leaders represent the means for the Army to achieve its desired end.

c. The DA develops competent and multifaceted military and civilian leaders who personify the Army values and the warrior ethos in all aspects from warfighting, to statesmanship, to enterprise management. The Army develops qualities in its leaders to enable them to respond effectively to what they will face. The DA describes the leaders it is creating as "Pentathletes," whose versatility and athleticism - qualities that reflect the essence of our Army - will enable them to learn and adapt in ambiguous situations in a constantly evolving environment. Pentathlete leaders are innovative, adaptive, and situationally aware professionals who demonstrate character in everything that they do, are experts in the profession of arms, boldly confront uncertainty, and solve complex problems. They are decisive and prudent risk takers who effectively manage, lead, and change organizations. Pentathletes are professionally educated, and dedicated to lifelong learning; resilient, mentally and physically agile, empathetic, and self-aware; and confidently lead Soldiers and civilians, build teams, and achieve the Army's over-arching strategic goals, while engendering loyalty and trust.

d. Leaders must be able to operate independently in an ambiguous, dynamic, and politically sensitive environment.

Leaders at all levels must be able to communicate, coordinate, and negotiate with a variety of personnel, including joint and coalition forces, interagency partners, nongovernmental organizations, local leaders, U.S. and foreign media, civilians, contractors, and people of different cultures and languages.

e. Leaders must maintain tactical and technical competence, as applicable in their designated fields; keep abreast of, and remain adept in advances in information technology; and maintain their knowledge of the standards of conduct, policy, law, rules of engagement, and the Geneva Conventions.

f. Leaders must be competent, full spectrum warfighters, and professionals who understand the strategic implications of their actions, behaviors, and decisions on Army, Department of Defense (DOD), and national objectives. They must understand that failure to act can impede operational progress by delaying development and delivery of required resources, through increased anti-American sentiment and enemy resistance, and by strengthening the appeal of ideas propagated by U.S. adversaries. Leaders must reinforce the view that actions which are counter to Army values and the standards of conduct can compromise the nation's strategic objectives. Requirements of today's leaders are extensive but necessary, given the contemporary operating environment (COE) in which they will lead.

15. Army Culture and leadership a. Army culture is a consequence of customs, traditions, ideals, ethos, values, and norms of conduct that have existed for more than 230 years. DA culture promotes certain norms of conduct, and leaders who manage operations affected by the law of land warfare, require the highest level of individual and organizational discipline and moral values. The law of land warfare, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the standards of conduct structure the discipline imperative to which leaders must adhere. The moral and ethical tenets of the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Army Values (figure 11) characterize the Army's professionalism and culture, and describe the ethical standards expected of all Army leaders.

b. Army culture includes a unique service ethic expected of every Soldier to make personal sacrifices in selfless service to the nation. Commitment to this ideal is embodied in the Warrior Ethos (figure 12). Army leaders develop and sustain the Warrior Ethos through discipline, realistic training, commitment to the Army Values, and pride in the Army's heritage. Soldiers show their commitment to these guiding values and standards by willingly performing their duty and subordinating their personal welfare without expecting reward or recognition. Everything Soldiers do for the nation is supported by Army civilians and family members; consequently, Army leaders are committed to developing values-based leadership and seeing to the well-being of Soldiers and their families. Combined with the Warrior Ethos, the Soldiers Creed (figure 13) and the Civilian Creed (figure 14) embody the Army service ethic.

16. Core leader competencies a. To support the Army's strategic objective - "Trained and Equipped Soldiers and Developed Leaders" - the Army has identified core leader competencies that pertain to all levels of leadership - military and civilian. Core leader competencies are related leader behaviors that lead to successful performance, are common throughout the organization, and are consistent with the organizational mission and values. Core leader competencies support the Executive core competencies (ECQs) that civilian leaders are expected to master as they advance in their careers.

b. The following core leader competencies are described in more detail in Field Manual (FM) 622. (1) *Leads others:* Leaders motivate, inspire, and influence others to take the initiative, work toward a common purpose, accomplish tasks, and achieve organizational objectives.

(2) *Extends influence beyond the chain of command:* Leaders must extend their influence beyond direct lines of authority and chains of command. This influence may extend to joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multinational, and other groups, and helps shape perceptions about the organization.

(3) *Leads by example:* Leaders are role models for others. They are viewed as the example and must maintain standards and provide examples of effective behaviors. When Army leaders model the Army Values, they provide tangible evidence of desired behaviors and reinforce verbal guidance by demonstrating commitment and action.

(4) *Communicate:* Leaders communicate by expressing ideas and actively listening to others. Effective leaders understand the nature and power of communication and practice effective communication techniques so they can better relate to others and translate goals into actions. Communication is essential to all other leadership competencies.

(5) *Creates a positive organizational climate:* Leaders are responsible for establishing and maintaining positive expectations and attitudes, which produce the setting for positive attitudes and effective work behaviors.

(6) *Prepares self:* Leaders are prepared to execute their leadership responsibilities fully. They are aware of their limitations and strengths and seek to develop and improve their knowledge. Only through preparation for missions and other challenges, awareness of self and situations, and the practice of lifelong learning and development can individuals fulfill the responsibilities of leadership.

(7) *Develops others:* Leaders encourage and support the growth of individuals and teams to facilitate the achievement of organizational goals. Leaders prepare others to assume positions within the organization, ensuring a more versatile and productive organization.

(8) *Gets results:* Leaders provide guidance and manage resources and the work environment, thereby ensuring consistent and ethical task accomplishment.

17. Leadership levels The three levels of leadership are direct, organizational, and strategic; leader competencies apply to all levels. Each leadership level has requirements that differ in the mix, scope, depth, and breadth related to the core leader competencies. As leaders progress through the levels, their assignments become more complex and interdependent, and require more responsibility, accountability, and authority. Leaders at each level must be able to address unanticipated situations, as many may have to make decisions in stressful situations that can easily have strategic or political implications. Each leadership level is discussed in greater detail in FM 622.

a. Direct level leadership is frontline leadership that includes leaders from squad through battalion levels of tactical units, and from branch through division levels in Table of Distribution and Allowances (TDA) organizations. Direct leaders build cohesive teams, empower subordinates, and develop and execute plans which implement policies and accomplish missions. The face-to-face interpersonal leadership required at this level influences human behavior, values, and ethics. Direct-level leaders must develop and refine their analytical and intuitive decision-making techniques; communication and interpersonal skills; and be able to operate independently - within the limits of the commander's intent, assigned missions, task organization, and available resources. Direct leaders focus on short-range planning and mission accomplishment, from 3 months to 1 year or more.

b. Organizational level leadership exists in more complex organizations and includes leaders at brigade through corps levels, directorate through installation levels (TDA organizations), and assistant through undersecretary of the Army level. In addition to direct level leader requirements, organizational leaders tailor resources to organizations and programs, manage multiple priorities, establish long-term vision, and empower others to perform the mission. They deal with more complexity, more people, greater uncertainty, and a greater number of unintended consequences. Their influence is exhibited more through policy-making and systems integration than face-to-face contact. Organizational leaders must be competent in synchronizing systems and organizations and in planning, programming, budgeting, and execution (PPBE). Their policies influence the command climate, and they must be adept in communication, negotiation, critical reasoning, and interpersonal skills. They must be skilled at complex decision-making and problem solving and have a good understanding of the entire range of full-spectrum operations. These leaders focus on midrange planning and mission accomplishment ranging from 1 to 5 years or more.

c. Strategic level leadership exists at the highest levels of the Army and includes military and civilian leaders at division and corps level through the national level. Strategic leaders set the organizational structure, allocate resources, and articulate the strategic vision. Strategic leadership involves running the Army; developing strategic plans, policies, guidance, and laws; determining force structure designs based on future mission requirements and capabilities; prioritizing over-arching Army programs against competing interests; and articulating Army programs and policies to the highest levels of DOD and the government. Strategic leaders scan the external environment to maintain focus and understand the context of future organizational roles. They must be adept in corporate level business management and prudent managers of taxpayer dollars. They work closely with higher-level leadership and dignitaries, and their decisions impact the political arena, personnel and resources, and have wide-ranging consequences. In addition to direct and organizational level responsibilities, strategic leaders must possess knowledge of the force structure change process and DOD, governmental, and legislative processes. Interpersonal skills must facilitate consensus building, negotiation, and influence peers and policy makers. Strategic leaders must be adept at complex decision-making, problem solving, and critical reasoning, and set the example by their words, decisions, and actions. They must convey messages indicating their professional integrity, priorities, and direction, and that support Army traditions, values, and ethics. Strategic leaders focus on the long-range vision for their organization ranging from 5 to 20 years or more.

18. Leader development a. Leader development is the deliberate, continuous, sequential, and progressive process, grounded in Army values, that grows Soldiers and civilians into competent and confident leaders capable of decisive action. Leader development is achieved through lifelong synthesis of the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained through institutional training and education, organizational training, operational experience, and self-development. Commanders and other organizational leaders play the key role in leader development that ideally produces competent, confident, and agile leaders who act with boldness and initiative in dynamic and complex situations.

b. The Army training and leader development model (figure 15) identifies important interactions for training Soldiers and developing leaders. It requires lifelong learning and identifies three developmental domains that shape critical learning experiences: operational, institutional, and self-development. The model portrays the development of trained and ready units led by competent and confident leaders, and depicts a continuous cycle of education, assessment, and feedback. For each domain, specific measurable actions are required and each domain uses assessment and feedback from various sources to maximize mission readiness and to develop leaders. (See DA Pamphlet (Pam)
35058 for a detailed discussion of the model.)
(1) *Training and leader development domains.* The three domains of leader development (institutional training and education, operational assignments, and self-development) are dynamic and interconnected. The individual gains knowledge and skills and enhances abilities at the institution and practices them during operational assignments. Selfdevelopment enhances, sustains, and expands the knowledge, skills, and abilities gained from assignments and institutional learning.

(a) Institutional training and education. The Army's school system provides leaders with the education (how to think) and training (how to do) needed to perform duty position requirements. The Army's progressive, sequential, and parallel education systems that support Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) will help ensure future leaders are armed with the knowledge base they will need to succeed in modular formations. Leaders attend institutional training courses following appropriate career development models.

(b) Operational assignments. Operational assignments translate theory into practice by placing leaders in positions to apply the knowledge and skills they acquired during institutional training and education. Repetitive performance of duty position requirements - coupled with self-awareness, assessment, and feedback - refines leader skills, broadens knowledge, and shapes attitudes and subsequent behavior.

(c) Self-development. Self-development initiatives focus on maximizing leader strengths, reducing weaknesses, and achieving individual leader development goals. Self-development is a continuous process that takes place during institutional training and education, and during operational assignments; it should stretch and broaden the individual beyond the job or training. Another aspect of self-development that helps Army leaders prepare for future responsibilities and grow professional expertise is civilian education or training at universities or colleges.

(2) The Army training and leader development management process was developed and implemented as a means to recommend improvements to training and leader development policy, strategy, and capabilities needed to provide trained and ready Soldiers, leaders, and units to combatant commanders. The management process starts with Councils of Colonels (COC) and culminates with providing recommendations to the Army leadership through the Training and Leader Development General Officer Steering Committee (for more information, see DA Pam 35058).

c. All leaders have a responsibility to develop those junior to them to the fullest extent possible. In addition to institutional training and education, leaders can facilitate development through the knowledge and feedback they provide through counseling, coaching, and mentoring.

(1) *Counseling.* Counseling is a standardized tool used to provide feedback to a subordinate. Counseling focuses on the subordinate by producing a plan outlining actions the subordinate can take to achieve individual and organizational goals. It is central to leader development and should be part of a comprehensive program for developing subordinates. A consistent counseling program includes all subordinates, regardless of the level of each ones potential.

(2) *Coaching.* The original meaning of coaching refers to the function of helping someone through a set of tasks. In the military, coaching occurs when a leader guides another persons development in new or existing skills during the practice of those skills. Unlike mentoring or counseling where the mentor/counselor generally has more experience than the supported person, coaching relies primarily on teaching and guiding to help bring out and enhance current capabilities. A coach helps those being coached to understand and appreciate their current level of performance and their potential, and instructs them on how to reach the next level of knowledge and skill.

(3) *Mentorship.* Mentorship is the voluntary developmental relationship that exists between a person of greater experience and a person of lesser experience that is characterized by mutual trust and respect. The focus of mentorship is voluntary mentoring that extends beyond the scope of chain of command relationships and occurs when a mentor provides the mentee advice and counsel over a period of time. Effective mentorship will positively impact personal and professional development. Assessment, feedback, and guidance are critical within the mentoring relationship and should be valued by the mentee in order for growth and development to occur.

d. As future battlefields evolve into increasingly dynamic and fluid environments, systems that facilitate the acceleration of leader development are needed. The Army training and leader development model and tools, such as counseling, coaching, and mentorship, are development multipliers that can enhance and influence maturity, selfawareness, adaptability, and conceptual and team-building skills in all leaders.

Army Values Army Values are the baseline, core, and foundation of every Soldier. They define all Soldiers: who they are, what they do, and what they stand for. They drive Soldiers internally (their beliefs) and externally (their actions), at home and work, in peace and war.

a. Loyalty. Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other Soldiers. This means supporting the military and civilian chain of command, as well as devoting oneself to the welfare of others.

b. Duty . Fulfill your obligations. Duty is the legal and moral obligation to do what should be done without being told.

c. Respect. Treat people as they should be treated. This is the same as do unto others as you would have done unto you.

d. Selfless service. Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and subordinates before your own. This means putting the welfare of the Nation and accomplishment of the mission ahead of personal desires.

e. Honor. Live up to all the Army Values. This implies always following your moral compass in any circumstance.

f. Integrity. Do what's right legally and morally. This is the thread woven through the fabric of the professional Army ethic. It means honesty, uprightness, the avoidance of deception, and steadfast adherence to standards of behavior.

g. Personal Courage. Face fear, danger, or adversity (physical or moral). This means being brave under all circumstances (physical or moral).

Battle Command Knowledge System A virtual collaborative network that hosts structured forums for officers and NCOs. The BCKS is a fully integrated, interoperable network-centric capability that supports training, leader development, battle command and doctrine. BCKS is broken into five sub-portals that serve as key self-development sources where leaders can connect with peers to discuss relevant issues, develop solutions, and provide useful tools to others.

Civilian Creed The Civilian Creed refers to the professional attitudes and beliefs that characterize the Department of Army Civilian (DAC). At its core, the Civilian Creed requires unrelenting and consistent determination to do what is right and to do it with pride, both in war and peace. No matter the conditions, it is the DA civilians selfless commitment to the Nation, the Army, and fellow civilians and Soldiers that keeps them going. It is the professional attitude that inspires every Department of Army Civilian. (See figure 14.)

## Climate The State Of Morale And Level Of Satisfaction Of Members Of An Organization.

Command Command is the authority that a commander in the military service lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment. Command includes the leadership, authority, responsibility, and accountability for effectively using available resources and planning the employment of, organizing, directing, coordinating, and controlling military forces to accomplish assigned missions. It includes responsibility for unit readiness, health, welfare, morale, and discipline of assigned personnel. Title 10, Section 3583, requires exemplary conduct by all commanding officers and others in authority in the Army. All commanders are required to
a. Present themselves as examples of virtue, honor, patriotism, and subordination; b. Be vigilant in inspecting the conduct of all persons who are placed under their command; c. Guard against and suppress all dissolute and immoral practices and to correct, according to the laws and regulations of the Army, all persons who are guilty of them; and d. Take all necessary and proper measures under the laws, regulations, and customs of the Army to promote and safeguard the morale, physical wellbeing, and the general welfare of officers and enlisted personnel under their command or charge.

Culture The set of long-held values, beliefs, expectations, and practices shared by a group that signifies what is important and influences how an organization operates.

Developmental Leadership Assessment Training Training Support Packages that teach leaders to identify and analyze subordinate leader behaviors and how to provide feedback and developmental counseling.

Doctrine Fundamental principles by which military forces or elements thereof guide their actions. Doctrine evolves from theory and concepts based on values, beliefs, historical perspective, experience, and research.

Leader Development Leader development is the deliberate, continuous, sequential, and progressive process, grounded in Army values, that grows Soldiers and civilians into competent and confident leaders capable of decisive action. Leader development is achieved through lifelong synthesis of the knowledge, skills, and experiences gained through institutional training and education, organizational training, operational experience, and self-development.

Leadership Assessment A structured process that focuses on developing leaders by using multiple observations and frequent feedback sessions. Assessment provides information about a leader's readiness or potential to lead effectively in a particular position or level within the Army.

Leadership The process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation, while operating to accomplish the mission and improve the organization.

Mentorship A voluntary and developmental relationship that exists between a person with greater experience and a person with less experience, and which is characterized by mutual trust and respect.

Self-development A planned, continuous, lifelong process individual leaders use to enhance their competencies and potential for progressively more complex and higher-level assignments (see DA PAM 35058).

Soldiers Creed The Soldier's Creed captures the spirit of being a Soldier and the dedication Soldiers feel to something greater than themselves. It outlines the fundamental obligations of Soldiers to their fellow Soldiers, their unit, and the Army and extends beyond service as a Soldier to include commitment to family and society (see figure 13).

Warrior Ethos The Warrior Ethos is embedded in the Soldier's Creed and is the very essence of what it means to be a Soldier. The Warrior Ethos describes the frame of mind of the professional Soldier and proclaims a Soldiers selfless commitment to the Nation, mission, unit, and fellow Soldiers. When internalized, it produces the will to win. (See figure 12.)
