Army Leadership: Competent, Confident, and Agile

Description

Upon taking the oath to become an Army leader, Soldiers, and Army civilians enter into a sacred agreement with the Nation and their subordinates. The men and women of the Army are capable of extraordinary feats of courage and sacrifice as they have proven on countless battlefields from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terrorism. These Soldiers and Army civilians display great patience, persistence, and tremendous loyalty as they perform their duty to the Nation in thousands of orderly rooms, offices, motor pools, and training areas around the world, no matter how difficult, tedious, or risky the task. In return, they deserve competent, professional, and ethical leadership. They expect their Army leaders to respect them as valued members of effective and cohesive organizations and to embrace the essence of leadership. FM 6-22 combines the lessons of the past with important insights for the future to help develop competent Army leaders. An ideal Army leader has strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, high moral character, and serves as a role model. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within the intent and purpose of his superior leaders, and in the best interest of the organization. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, successfully accomplish peacetime and wartime missions. Organizations have many leaders. Everyone in the Army is part of a chain of command and functions in the role of leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being a good leader. All Soldiers and Army civilians, at one time or another, must act as leaders and followers. Leaders are not always designated by position, rank, or authority. In many situations, it is appropriate for an individual to step forward and assume the role of leader. It is important to understand that leaders do not just lead subordinates--they also lead other leaders. Everyone in the Army is part of a team, and all team members have responsibilities inherent in belonging to that team. FM 6-22 addresses the following topics necessary to become a competent, multiskilled Army leader: * Understand the Army definitions of leader and leadership.* Learn how the Warrior Ethos is embedded in all aspects of leadership. * Use the Army leadership requirements model as a common basis for thinking and learning about leadership and associated doctrine.* Become knowledgeable about the roles and relationships of leaders, including the role of subordinate or team member. * Discover what makes a good leader, a person of character with presence and intellect. * Learn how to lead, develop, and achieve through competency-based leadership. * Identify the influences and stresses in our changing environment that affect leadership. * Understand the basics of operating at the direct, organizational, and strategic levels.
