Military Approach to Leader Development
The military’s leadership development program has 2 interrelated foci: 1st, that leadership is a core competency for all personnel and, 2nd, that the next generation of squad/unit leaders, organizational level leaders, and strategic leaders is identified and developed in a continuous and iterative process. Leader development in the military requires the same level of intention, attention, and support that, in the health care industry, is usually reserved solely for specialty clinical development.
