Book excerpt: This thesis is an assessment of the Senior Enlisted Leader Program at the United States Naval Academy. Specifically, this thesis documents the background and presents an assessment of the program. The author conducted 34 focused interviews--four of these interviews were conducted with key personnel involved in the founding and implementation of the Senior Enlisted Leader Program in its early years. The other 30 interviews were conducted with the 30 current Senior Enlisted Leaders to gain insight into the current operation of the program from their perspective. The data analysis yielded eight themes related to the Senior Enlisted Leader Program. Six of these themes present positive aspects of the program, and two of these themes address areas for improvement. Overall, the data suggest that the Senior Enlisted Leader Program has had a significant positive impact on the leadership development of midshipmen and the Naval Academy as a whole.

Book excerpt: Company officers at the United States Naval Academy are responsible for the leadership development of midshipmen. To attract higher quality officers to serve as company officers for the Brigade of Midshipmen and to provide officers with an opportunity for an advanced degree, the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program was established in 1997. This program allows Navy and Marine Corps officers to receive a Master of Science in Leadership and Human Resource Development from the Naval Postgraduate School. After the first year, the program graduates serve two years as company officers and work closely with the midshipmen of the brigade. This research uses data obtained from semi- structured interviews and self-administered questionnaires of 27 LEAD program graduates. It focuses on the perceptions of graduates concerning the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the program, and makes recommendations for change and improvement. This research adds to the body of knowledge and recommendations that exist and serves as a five-year retrospective on the perceptions of the effectiveness of the program and whether or not the program is perceived to be meeting its goals.

This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For one hundred fifty-seven years, the United States Naval Academy has been producing junior officers to serve in United States Navy and Marine Corps fleet commands. Each year, more than 1,200 new midshipmen are inducted into the four-year, total immersion process. Overseeing every aspect of midshipman life is a dedicated and experienced officer and senior enlisted core, The 4,200 midshipmen in the brigade are divided into thirty companies; each led by a fleet experienced junior officer. These Company Officers play a pivotal role in the education, leadership and training of their midshipmen. This research extracts the current measures employed to assess these Company Officers by way of a thorough review of USNA instructions, previous theses, popular literature, and expert interviews, These interviews were conducted with both Battalion and Company Officers via a specific set of uniform questions. Data obtained from interviews were analyzed qualitatively using content analysis in order to identify themes and patterns. Identification and explanation of these measures will assist current and perspective Company Officers in performing their duties more effectively and providing a better product to their midshipmen.

This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996 the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, CA designed a graduate education program for Navy and Marine Corps officers who are detailed to the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA). The students complete a Master of Science degree in Leadership and Human Resources Development, then assume duties as a Company Officer. This study is a formative evaluation of the Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) program. Its purpose is to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the program, whether the graduates perceive that their leadership skills changed as a result of the program, and provide recommendations for improvements to the program. A literature review includes a discussion of educational program evaluation and qualitative measurement procedures. Interviews were conducted with all members of the first graduating LEAD class. It was found that the graduates believe that the program was beneficial, had a positive effect on their leadership styles, and with some modification, will be a useful tool in educating Company Officers. It is recommended that coordination and communication between and among NPS and USNA staffs be increased to reduce redundancy within the curriculum, take full advantage of LEAD's proximity to USNA, and obtain a common understanding of LEAD program effectiveness criteria.

Book Synopsis The Perceptions of the Role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy from the Perspective of Senior Officers, Battalion Officers, Company Officers and Senior Enlisted Leaders by : Jill R. Cesari
Download or read book The Perceptions of the Role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy from the Perspective of Senior Officers, Battalion Officers, Company Officers and Senior Enlisted Leaders written by Jill R. Cesari and published by . This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides data on the perceptions of the role of the Company Officer at the United States Naval Academy (USNA) according to the perspectives of Senior Officers, Battalion Officers, Company Officers and Senior Enlisted Leaders. The author interviewed and surveyed 59 members of the chain- of-command using four interview questions and a trait questionnaire to address several research questions: the purpose of the role of the Company Officer; critical traits needed to perform the job; examples of effective Company Officer behavior; and skills learned by Company Officers. By comparing the interview and questionnaire responses the author determined that significant congruency exists throughout the chain-of-command. Study participants believe Company Officers are essential in developing midshipmen. Company Officers need to be honest, role models, mentors, approachable, loyal, respected and consistent to be effective. By being involved in company activities and spending time with midshipmen Company Officers are best able to be effective. While fulfilling the role Company Officers learn leadership, personnel management and self-awareness. There are two divergent perspectives in the chain-of-command: (1) a minority of Senior Enlisted Leaders believe there are some low-quality officers serving as Company Officers, and (2) a minority of Company Officers feel they are not being professionally developed by their Battalion Officers. Each of the findings are discussed in detail, and quotations from interview are provided to give the reader deeper insight. The author's conclusion is that there is significant congruency throughout the chain-of-command but there are small changes that need to be made to create a more effective and efficient leadership team.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to answer the following research questions: (1) How do midshipmen learn about leadership? (2) How do officer learning processes differ from midshipmen learning processes? The learning literature and the leadership literature identified the following leadership learning processes: (1) experience, (2) observation, (3) reflection, (4) experimentation, (5) interpersonal interactions, (6) organizational cultural, (7) formal instruction (i.e., conceptualization), and (8) self-direction. To test the research questions, the author conducted 25 focused interviews with Naval Academy midshipmen, Naval Postgraduate School students, and Naval Academy leadership instructors. The interview data was transcribed and analyzed. The data analysis yielded eight general themes related to midshipmen leadership development. The data suggested midshipmen learn leadership from the following sources: experience, observation, reflection, interpersonal interaction, and organizational culture. The interview data further suggested midshipmen do not learn leadership from formal classroom instruction; however, the officer interview data supported conceptualization (i.e., theoretical instruction) as an important leadership learning process. The officer interview data suggested that graduate students and leadership instructors use an integrated (i.e., systems) approach to learn leadership.
Book Synopsis The U.S. Naval Institute on Naval Leadership by : Thomas J Cutler
Download or read book The U.S. Naval Institute on Naval Leadership written by Thomas J Cutler and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the U.S. Navy, “Wheel Books” were once found in the uniform pockets of every junior and many senior petty officers. Each small notebook was unique to the Sailor carrying it, but all had in common a collection of data and wisdom that the individual deemed useful in the effective execution of his or her duties. Often used as a substitute for experience among neophytes and as a portable library of reference information for more experienced personnel, those weathered pages contained everything from the time of the next tide, to leadership hints from a respected chief petty officer, to the color coding of the phone-and-distance line used in underway replenishments. In that same tradition, the new Naval Institute Wheel Books will provide supplemental information, pragmatic advice, and cogent analysis on topics important to all naval professionals. Drawn from the U.S. Naval Institute’s vast archives, the series will combine articles from the Institute’s flagship publication Proceedings, selections from the oral history collection and from Naval Institute Press books to create unique guides on a wide array of fundamental professional subjects. Leadership is vital to any highly functioning organization. The Naval Institute has devoted countless pages of its publications to the subject of naval leadership, providing start-up guidance to neophytes, giving voice to the accumulated wisdom and experience of those who have led, and serving as a forum in search of answers to the many questions that have always been a part of this vital but sometimes elusive practice. In the pages of this book are some of the most outstanding examples of this wealth of knowledge, gathered for use by both would-be and seasoned leaders in the never-ending quest for strong and effective leadership.

Download or read book Leadership Embodied, 2nd Edition written by Joseph J Thomas and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is a most demanding undertaking. How do some people make it seem so simple, so natural and instinctive? In the age-old debate as to whether leaders are born or made, Thomas contends that the answer is both. Great leaders throughout history were born with certain capabilities. Preparation honed those capabilities. Then that ability and preparation were combined with a will to lead. When circumstances demanded, the great leaders of history pulled these attributes together to create results that drove the course of history. While leaders are present in every aspect of human undertaking, we chose to illustrate each of the components of leadership through the most dramatic and demanding of all human undertakings—war and the preparations for war. Wartime leaders are leaders “writ with a darker pen.” Wartime challenges are, because of the life and death nature of the affair, more monumental and exacting. In the selection of individuals to illustrate each point, we chose wartime leaders as well as those who guided their subordinates and organizations in preparation for combat. Further we chose American leaders with a distinct and obvious bias towards the navy and Marine Corps. Multiple reasons led us to our approach for Leadership Embodied. First, a biography is perhaps the most effective method for imparting leadership lessons. Simple listings of prescriptive traits or descriptive qualities are patronizing and, frequently, boring. Second, our biographical examples are familiar to most—or at least they should be. Finally, all of these historical selections have dramatically shaped today’s institutions, practices, and customs within the naval services. These are not marginal figures with marginal influence. The individuals included, and their respective leadership attributes, should be required reading for any student of leadership. Each has a particular lesson for midshipmen on their journey to becoming a navy or Marine Corps officer. This book does not promise to be a panacea. There is no short cut. Leadership does not follow a prescribed path. We study examples to inspire us to become better, to be strong when it is easy to give in, and to know others have gone before us and faced insurmountable odds. Leadership, as an ill-defined social science, crosses boundaries with several disciplines including sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history. We have selected a method that combines the psychological “profile” of effective leaders and the historical context of the impact their leadership brought to organizations and events. Our hope for this book is that these case studies illustrate the basic elements—in themselves the very essence—of leadership. It is through inherent talent, arduous preparation, and practical experience that we become capable leaders. The reader brings the first to the table; then we offer a small token in the second pursuit; and circumstances enable the third.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis Of The Military Leadership Styles Of Ernest J. King And Chester W. Nimitz by : Major James R. Hill

This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a constantly changing world threatened by the likelihood of terrorist acts, the American people need military leaders who clearly demonstrate an understanding of American core values, and who are both competent and morally focused. In order to produce military leaders who meet these qualifications and who can successfully meet the future challenges America faces, it is important to develop and refine those leaders early and help them understand how to create and refine a successful leadership style. The process of developing leadership styles, however, is not easy and it requires a prodigious amount of determination, time, and planning from prospective future leaders. It also requires military training institutions to align their curriculums to promote leadership, as well as, to provide guidance and mentoring in order to help develop these future leaders. One way to help develop leaders is to provide examples of both successful and flawed military leadership styles. There are many cases of each in American history. In particular, World War II leaders Admirals Ernest J. King and Chester W. Nimitz provide contrasting examples of naval leadership. An examination of the leadership styles of these two naval officers provides useful examples which future leaders can consider when reflecting on their own leadership styles. After careful review, it soon becomes evident that the leadership style of Nimitz closely aligned with the leadership styles of Generals George C. Marshall and Dwight D. Eisenhower, two World War II leaders I closely examined in my previous Master’s thesis. In addition, it also becomes evident that King was a diametrically different leader from these three leaders. He provides an example of a leader who was cold, harsh, and morally bankrupt. As result, reviewing the leadership styles of these World War II leaders will benefit future leaders as well as those they lead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research analyzes the selectivity and career success of midshipmen leaders from the United States Naval Academy. Those studied are former midshipmen from the classes of 1980 through 1985 who were carefully screened by USNA's leadership selection process to hold significant leadership positions in their final year at the Academy. Using data compiled from several sources, non-linear logistic regression methodology is employed to determine statistically significant actors for selection and whether such individuals have a statistical advantage in later promotion as officers. Qualitative data in the form of surveys are used to analyze current midshipmen satisfaction with the selection process and recent midshipmen leaders. Results indicate that these midshipmen leaders were the most promising candidates for admission to the Academy and the most successful midshipmen in all areas of performance, especially academics and military conduct grades. They also are found, as a whole, to have a higher promotion rate at the Commander promotion board. However, analysis of the views of recent midshipmen and midshipmen leaders indicates that other measures, such as peer and subordinate evaluations, may improve the process of identifying the most promising leaders and role models for the Brigade of Midshipmen and the U.S. Navy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Navy is ready to execute the Nation's tasks at sea, from prompt and sustained combat operations to every-day forward-presence, diplomacy and relief efforts. We operate worldwide, in space, cyberspace, and throughout the maritime domain. The United States is and will remain a maritime nation, and our security and prosperity are inextricably linked to our ability to operate naval forces on, under and above the seas and oceans of the world. To that end, the Navy executes programs that enable our Sailors, Marines, civilians, and forces to meet existing and emerging challenges at sea with confidence. Six priorities guide today's planning, programming, and budgeting decisions: (1) maintain a credible, modern, and survivable sea based strategic deterrent; (2) sustain forward presence, distributed globally in places that matter; (3) develop the capability and capacity to win decisively; (4) focus on critical afloat and ashore readiness to ensure the Navy is adequately funded and ready; (5) enhance the Navy's asymmetric capabilities in the physical domains as well as in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum; and (6) sustain a relevant industrial base, particularly in shipbuilding.
