Description
Summary:This paper presents the method developed to identify the leadership portion of the job for Army commissioned officers, and the results obtained using this method. The approach used was a task analysis designed to: (1) encompass both officer and NCO leadership, (b) allow comparisons across ranks, branches, and type of officer, and (c) be compatible with an existing Army system. The task analysis instrument was empirically developed and tailored to Army leadership. The task list consisted of 560 leadership tasks, divided into 20 individual duty areas. The individual duties encompass four broad areas: Train, Teach, and Develop; Motivate; Resource; and Provide Direction. The results from administering the task analysis instrument to 5,033 commissioned officers are presented both as responses to individual tasks and patterns across different areas within leadership, as a function of rank, branch, type of organization, and designated leadership position.
