Book synopsis

This study probed U.S. military officers on their§perceptions of effective leadership and management§behaviors. Serving military members reported the§leader styles they found especially useful. The§study's aim was to build a theory describing§those leader styles that would lead to organizational§success. It was based on a series of surveys§and interviews of commissioned officers representing§all services and commissioned grades, conducted at a§joint service headquarters in Europe. The factor§analytical techniques of Q-Methodology were used to§distill meaning from the subjective judgment of the§participants. Subsequent semi-structured questioning§helped to put the findings into context and§triangulated the results with qualitative data.§Respondents reported that they consciously used both§transformational and transactional leader styles.§They demonstrated the application of a variety of§cognitive leadership frameworks. The officers studied§displayed important though sometimes subtle§differences in their leader styles. As a whole§they made their focus on mission accomplishment of§paramount importance when balanced against any other§concerns.
