Transformational Leadership In The Navy—Cultivating A Learning-Organization Culture, Brenda Oppermann, William Nault Feb 2021

Transformational Leadership In The Navy—Cultivating A Learning-Organization Culture, Brenda Oppermann, William Nault

Naval War College Review

By shifting its workplace culture from one that was stratified, stovepiped, and command-and-control oriented to one that encourages risk taking, adaptation, and individual empowerment, Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard not only improved its performance significantly but expanded the notion of what it means to be a leader in the Navy.

Sir John Orde And The Trafalgar Campaign—A Failure Of Information Sharing, J. Ross Dancy, Evan Wilson Mar 2020

Sir John Orde And The Trafalgar Campaign—A Failure Of Information Sharing, J. Ross Dancy, Evan Wilson

Naval War College Review

When France’s Toulon Fleet appeared off Cádiz in April 1805, Orde possessed more information about the whereabouts and strength of the Combined Fleet than any other British flag officer, placing immense responsibility on him to share that information widely and quickly. But in this he failed, costing Lord Nelson a good chance of bringing the campaign to a halt six months before Trafalgar, and providing an example of a failure to achieve mission command.


Leadership And Decision—From Accountability To Punishment, Michael Junge Mar 2020

Leadership And Decision—From Accountability To Punishment, Michael Junge

Naval War College Review

As the Navy reenters an era of great-power competition, we should evaluate our culture of command and relearn precise language before we jettison superb commanding officers for ahistorical reasons.


Requirements For World Leadership, John Nicholas Brown Jan 2019

Requirements For World Leadership, John Nicholas Brown

Naval War College Review

Today it is a truism to state that the United States of Amer­ica has world leadership--challenged, yes, but nevertheless, ours. And in thinking on what basis that world leadership shall be main­tained, I have attempted to set down briefly a few remarks which I hope you will consider.


Leadership As Related To The Application Of Military Law, Chester Ward Aug 2018

Leadership As Related To The Application Of Military Law, Chester Ward

Naval War College Review

So, gentlemen, the Code is our system of government; it is the support of everything that we do to run an effective NaVY, That is why I say that it is misunderstood, and that you, as the true leaders of the Navy, have to be more familiar with this in­strument. It is an instrument which Command must use to es­tablish discipline and promote morale.

Leadership, Douglas Southal Freeman

Naval War College Review

When I was a lad I had the great pleasure, the infinite honor, of seeing some of the great men of the war between the states. Strange as it seems, I can remember Jubal Early, What a somber (I almost said a sinister) figure he was as he walked around town, chewing tobacco fiercely and leaning on a long staff. As soon as we little lads would see him we would run away because it was thoroughly understood among all of us lads of a bout 5 years old or thereabouts that General Early ate a little boy for breakfast …

The Case For Targeting Leadership In War, Bruce A. Ross May 2018

The Case For Targeting Leadership In War, Bruce A. Ross

Naval War College Review

Following the 1986 air raid on Libya, administration officials vehemently denied that Libyan leader Muammer Qadhafi had been a target. Secretary of State George Schultz stated flatly, "We oppose that sort of thing." During Desert Shield, when the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Michael J. Dugan suggested Saddam Hussein might be a target, he was summarily dismissed. President George Bush insisted, "We're not targeting any individual"; as General Schwarzkopf added, "That's not the way we fight wars anyway."


From Leadership To Partnership, Benoit M. Silve Apr 2018

From Leadership To Partnership, Benoit M. Silve

Naval War College Review

The present United States Security Strategy for Europe appears to be based on the assumption that "only the United States has the vision and strength to consolidate the gains of the last few years and to build an even better wo rld." It is a fact that without the United States those gains would probably require much longer to consolidate. However, even the United States may fail if its policy remains too strongly defined by the heritage of the Cold War. Neglecting to clarify what is meant by the terms "partnership" and "leadership," so frequently used in U.S. foreign policy, …


Set And Drift: Leadership And Strategy, Carnes Lord Apr 2018

Set And Drift: Leadership And Strategy, Carnes Lord

Naval War College Review

Winston Churchill once said that most strategic failures in war are due to the “total absence of one directing mind and commanding willpower.” During World War II, Churchill was determined to be that one directing mind, taking for himself a new cabinet portfolio for defense as well as the office of prime min- ister. Difficult as it may be to resist the ideas of one of the greatest leaders of the twentieth century, there are many today who will be skeptical of such a claim.


Duty At All Costs, George M. Clifford Iii Mar 2018

Duty At All Costs, George M. Clifford Iii

Naval War College Review

In his Dereliction of Duty, H. R. McMaster describes the Joint Chiefs of Staff dur- ing Lyndon Johnson’s presidency as the “five silent men” who cooperated with Johnson in deceit instead of speaking the truth about what was happening in Vietnam. McMaster proffers several explanations as to why these officers re- mained silent: the unwritten code of the military professional to stay out of politics; loyalty to their commander in chief; loyalty to their services; and the belief that they could achieve more good on active duty than by retiring and speaking out.


“A Striking Thing”, James R. Holmes Mar 2018

“A Striking Thing”, James R. Holmes

Naval War College Review

The voyage of the U.S. Navy’s “Great White Fleet” constituted an exercise in personal leadership on the part of President Theodore Roosevelt and in inter- national leadership on the part of a United States announcing its arrival as a world power. Sixteen battleships, eight armored cruisers, six torpedo-boat de- stroyers, and associated auxiliaries steamed out of Hampton Roads in December 1907, embarking on a world cruise.


Formal Mentoring In The U.S. Military—Research Evidence, Lingering Questions, And Recommendations, W. Brad Johnson, Gene R. Anderson Mar 2018

Formal Mentoring In The U.S. Military—Research Evidence, Lingering Questions, And Recommendations, W. Brad Johnson, Gene R. Anderson

Naval War College Review

Organizations that mentor produce members who are more rapidly promoted, more confident, and more likely to achieve leadership positions. Informal mentoring has flourished in the military for centuries, but should the military institutionalize the process?

Commentary, Christopher H. Johnson

Naval War College Review

Leadership—this word has such a rich meaning. Yet in this the twenty-first century, does anyone fully appreciate it? Are we a nation that still honors leader- ship’s inherent value to our society? Do we still strive to embody its principles in everyday life, or are we a nation—with perhaps even a military—that truly does not understand the meaning of the word? Have we, as a result, begun to embrace management as the new ideal?
