Army Management Styles

In today’s Army, there are three levels of Leadership. We are going to talk about Direct and Organizational levels of the Army leadership. Direct leadership starts at the lowest level with the team leader of which has the most direct influence with Soldiers. Organizational Leaders have a staff to help them make decisions on a daily basis and provide the resources for the direct leaders to accomplish their mission. After 13 years of conflict, Mission Command could not have not even been more important than it is now. Both Direct and Organizational leaders must provide their subordinates intent and purpose in order for them to operate with in Mission Command.

A group of strong and honorable individuals that are professionals in the Profession of Arms protects the United States of America. We are professionals because we choose to dedicate our lives to our Nation and its people. All Army professionals meet the Army’s certification criteria of competence, character and commitment. The five essentials characteristics of the Army Profession are trust, military expertise, honorable service, esprit de corps and stewardship of the profession. By having these characteristics and practicing them in our daily lives, we have earned the trust of our leaders, peers, subordinates and the citizens of our nation.

Five characteristics define the Army as a Profession. These characteristics are honorable service, stewardship of the profession, military expertise, esprit de corps, and trust. According to ADRP 1-0, as a military profession, our relationship with the American people is built on a foundation of trust continuously reinforced by the other four characteristics. Mission accomplishment, reputation, and survivability of the Army are all reliant on trust. Therefore, I believe that trust is the most important characteristic and is the bedrock of the Army’s relationship with the American people.

Trust is the foundational attribute that every professional Soldier should possess. Despite sustained military conflicts throughout the world over the past thirteen years, we have still been able to maintain firm belief in our reliability as an Army. When it comes to confidence from the public other organizations such as the police, the government, the media, and various other organizations do not have the same level of trust that the American people have in us. Trust is the most important of the five characteristics of the Army profession. Without trust we would lose the support of the American public, trust is the embodiment of our profession, and trust drives the four other characteristics of the Army profession.

The majority of my experience dealing with leadership in the Marine Corps had been both positive and negative. It always seemed like the great leaders that I did have the pleasure of following never had the chance to survive due to their power hungry superiors. We are all able to learn from the mistakes and success from all styles of leadership. What I am learning from this course is that each style of leadership can work depending on the type of organization. I try to imagine and embrace the thought of a world lead by transformational leadership. Leadership that would sets the standard for all organizations and leaders. Leaders should understand how significant their influences are and how they are in the positions to empower followers to invoke positive and ethical change that could create a ripple effect in today’s business world. In this paper I will be analyzing Martin Shkreli’s leadership style, focusing on how his values, ethics and abuse of power ultimately plummeted him into a pool of corruption and failure. Martin is currently one of the most disliked individuals in Wall Street, social media and by the consumers that rely on the life saving drug, Daraprim. Not only am I appalled by Martine Shkreli’s leadership style, I am also very disappointed with how long his followers encouraged his behavior. It is very important to understand that all of the responsibility does not fall all on the leadership. The boards of directors, stakeholders and the followers have as much

There are several definitions and applications for organizational culture found within Army doctrine. Through synthesis of L100 readings, organizational culture is a set of institutional norms shared by its people who create a distinctive environment to observe, analyze, and act. Like organizational culture, L100 provides much source material, both literally and figuratively. Commander’s actions and examples model organizational climate which influence localized standards of conduct for his or her subordinates which can directly correlate to the health and sustainability of a unit.

As a leader, I reflect on what my seniors, peers and subordinates would expect from me

The 46th Engineer Battalion, appended the Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and Human Resources Sergeant to us for organization. Out of 15 faculty, there were two Specialists, the

This paper explores how leadership styles affect U.S. Army communications. The sources of Army organizational power are considered, as are how those powers affect group communications. Several motivational theories are applied to the Army context. This paper explores the role communications plays as part of these theories. Finally discussed is the Army's workforce's commitment to the organization and their relationship to Army communications.

The Army profession is an institute of standards and values, where the Army has adopted the culture of the Army professional. As society continues to evolve in the 21st Century, the Army profession is struggling to sustain trust and the moral identity of a leader. The Army as a profession is inclusive trust to which leaders reinforce through actions. Since the closing of the 2016 presidential elections, there have been extensive debates on the morals of the government and those that lead it. Controversial topics of collusion and the questioning of the integrity of the government have made it difficult for leaders to sustain the identity of the Army profession. Leaders that lack a solid foundation of character, competence, and commitment weaken organizational trust and decrease long-term results. This papers intent is to heighten the importance of investing in our leaders to secure organizational trust.

My leadership style is reflective of my military experience. I believe that in order to be an effective leader you should be respected by your subordinates as well as your supervisors. Subordinates, in turn tend to respect you if you take enough interest in what they do outside as well as inside the work environment, which builds morale thus creating a better work environment. Management understands this and promotes it, which decreases absenteeism and increases productivity.

The military faces many challenges every day. Amidst the obvious of protecting the country from outside, hindering sources there are other flaws that members face regularly. One such issue is an ethically driven problem revolving around sexual assault and misconduct. Over the last few years there have been many reports of sexual abuse starting in Lackland, Texas, at the training annex, and all the way to some of the highest ranking officials. In response to the uptick in these cases, the Air Force has pushed an awareness initiative.

The Army has a very well organized structure that has many different elements within its structure. The Army uses many different regulations that cover the way it runs its organization to ensure it maintains and improves the way it is managed. The Army uses the Human Resources Command Center (HRC) which is to execute career management, sustainment, distribution, and transitions of personnel in order to ensure optimal Army personnel readiness (https://www.hrc.army.mil/STAFF/HRC%20Mission%20and%20Vision). This allows leaders to development, and strengthens the way the Army works. Management is

I was born in a place that was not meant for me. While small town Iowa provides opportunities, there is rarely one where I may contribute to an entity bigger than myself such as the army The United States Army instills values such as duty, honor, and country at the core of their teachings. Army Officers uphold these ideals through any trial they face. From the age of twelve, I admired these qualities found in Army Officers more than any other position or career path. The Military Academy produces persistent leaders who willingly sacrifice their lives to protect their brothers and sisters in arms, the American people, and these principles. I aspire to be transformed into a leader who has the sacred honor to defend the uniform, the flag, and

Managers have to perform many roles in an organization and how they handle various situations will depend on their style of management. A management style is an overall method of leadership used by a manager. Various management styles can be employed dependent on the culture of the business, the nature of the task, the nature of the workforce and the personality and skills of the leaders. This idea was further developed by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren H. Schmidt who argued that the style of leadership is dependent upon the prevailing circumstance; therefore leaders should exercise a range of leadership styles and should deploy them as appropriate.
