Description: This thesis explored the leadership styles of Navy commanding officers of afloat commands to determine if there were any differences in leadership styles and the effect, if any, of rank, age, commissioning source, education, ethnicity, location, and ship community type that influenced that leadership style. A review of the literature indicated that the Navy adopted the Situational Leadership Model in 1976. The Navy concurred with the philosophy that there was no one style of leadership that was optimal in all situations, but rather, styles should change to reflect the existing circumstances and the readiness of subordinates. This study was conducted in January 1992 using sample responses from commanding officers and executive officers of Amphibious, Cruiser-Destroyer and Combat Logistic Forces around the world.
