This book was released on 2001 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the Developing Aerospace Leaders (DAL) initiative needed? Dr. Thirtle points to a lack of unifying vision and the growth of occupationalism in the Air Force. In this article, reminiscent of Carl Builder's book "The Icarus Syndrome," he states DAL's objectives and explains why it is necessary to recapture the "heart and soul" of the service through deliberate cultivation of the aerospace power mind-set. DAL was Instituted by General Michael E. Ryan in March 2000 to examine and recommend actions necessary to prepare future officers for Air Force leadership. Although General Ryan originally established DAL with a two-year charter, he has indicated that "the DAL project is not an end state, but a continuing process." To fulfill part of the charter, the DAL program office will identify and modify counterproductive policies, practices, and procedures as well as explore and recommend processes to support and make the best practices routine. DAL objectives include establishing processes and procedures that build a senior leadership corps able to understand national security interests and fully exploit the aerospace domain to support national objectives; develop, cultivate, and maintain operational competence in the medium of aerospace; envision, develop, acquire, sustain, support, and employ capabilities that exploit the aerospace domain to create military effects; and communicate the absolute and relative value of aerospace capabilities to the American people and their representatives.

Download or read book Developing Aerospace Leaders for the Twenty-first Century written by Nancy E. Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sound leadership within a dynamic, ever-changing environment is at the heart of the Air Force's institutional character. It is key to bonding airmen and is the foundation for successful Air Force achievements in peace and in war. Of the many skills and abilities used in the profession of arms, none is prized more highly. As we transform to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, leadership can strengthen the foundation of mutual trust and respect among the ranks and the organization as a whole. Most people who equate leadership with good management model their leadership practices based on readings and research published in the industrial era of the twentieth century. This understanding of leadership has dominated military organizations in the past but will not serve the mature Expeditionary Aerospace Force of tomorrow. This paper explores the advantages to adapting emerging leadership philosophies into the Air Force culture to meet the growing challenges of the twenty-first century work force. Leadership doctrine, leadership development programs, and the human resource management system should be aligned to support these changes in leadership philsophy and practice. This is critical in order to build Air Force leaders with a clearly recognizable set of competencies and attitudes that thrive regardless of a particular career-path or assigned location throughout an entire career."--Rand abstracts.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where can future aerospace leaders find guidance and inspiration? One route is to reap the benefit of past experience through a vigorous professional reading program. In the latest installment of his popular?fodder? series of articles, Dr. Mets provides the air warrior-scholar with a sampler of important books on aerospace leadership. The quest for a key to successful air leadership is as old as airpower itself. An Air Force Academy was first proposed in Congress in 1919, and 1931 Randolph Air Force Base (AFB) was known as "The West Point of the Air." Yet, until fairly recently, professional air warriors have had slim pickings when they looked for case studies in airpower leadership. For a long time, we have had many biographies of soldiers and seamen, but common perceptions hold that airmen are not a contemplative lot and have little inclination toward literary efforts. Few of them have set pen to paper to tell either their own life stories or those of other flyers. Still fewer scholars and foundations have felt sufficiently competent to undertake such studies. But in the past two decades, that void has begun to be filled. This article first explores the nature of models. What are they? What are they good for? What are they not good for? It then turns to sources of biographical material on airmen and the nature of biography as a vehicle for exploring the subject of air leadership. It further examines the advantages of the biographical approach and its shortcomings. The article illustrates these matters with reviews of two forthcoming books about air leadership -- one on Maj Gen Mason M. Patrick and the other on Adm Joseph M. Reeves. It then suggests some possible benefits as well as the limitations of biographies and, in keeping with my "fodder" series of articles, closes with a "10-Book Sampler for Professional Reading."

Download or read book Aerospace power in the twenty-first century a basic primer written by Clayton K. S. Chun and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Chun's Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century: A Basic Primer is a great start towards understanding the importance of aerospace power and its ability to conduct modern warfare. Aerospace power is continually changing because of new technology, threats, and air and space theories. However, many basic principles about aerospace power have stood the test of time and warfare. This book provides the reader with many of these time-tested ideas for consideration and reflection. Although Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century was written for future officers, individuals desiring a broad overview of aerospace power are invited to read, share, and discuss many of the ideas and thoughts presented here. Officers from other services will find that this introduction to air and space forces will give them a good grasp of aerospace power. More experienced aerospace leaders can use this book to revisit many of the issues that have affected air and space forces in the past and that might affect them in the future. Air Force officers will discover that Aerospace Power in the Twenty-First Century is a very timely and reflective resource for their professional libraries.

Book excerpt: "The Air Force began the 21st century by committing itself to Force Development improvements. This resurgence in developing leaders from within was championed by former Chief of Staff, General Michael E. Ryan, through a program called Developing Aerospace Leaders, otherwise known as DAL. DAL was quickly formed from a strong contingent of experts such as retired Generals Bradley Hosmer, Billy Boles, and Charles Link as well as currently serving general officers such as Lieutenant General Robert Allardice. As the DAL team started researching officer force development they realized it would be highly beneficial to commission an outside, independent organization to facilitate the initiative. The board ultimately chose Project Air Force, a division of the RAND Corporation, to conduct an independent look into General Ryan's charge and provide recommendations. ... The processes and products created by DAL and Project Air Force put officer force development on a positive vector and shaped the programs still used today. However, research shows that this positive vector leveled off in 2007 as DAL came to a close. To further improve officer force development and put it back on a positive vector, the Air Force should revive a few key concepts created under DAL and combine them with a fresh, more pointed application. Specifically, the Air Force should advance officer force development by building structure into it through the concept of a paired competency."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient. Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.
