TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP
• “EMPHASIZING INTRINSIC MOTIVATION”
• “HIGHLIGHTING IMPORTANT PRIORITIES”
• “ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO LOOK BEYOND SELF-INTERESTS”
• “PROMOTING COOPERATION AND HARMONY”
• “PROVIDING INDIVIDUAL COACHING AND MENTORING”
• “ALLOWING FREEDOM OF CHOICE”
• “USING PERSUASIVE APPEALS BASED ON REASON” Bass, B.M. (1998), The Ethics Of
Transformational Leadership
@SeanDunn10
Mission Command is the conduct of military operations
through decentralized execution, using mission orders
to enable disciplined initiative within the commander's
intent. Done well, it empowers agile and adaptive
leaders to successfully operate under conditions of
uncertainty, exploit fleeting opportunities, and most
importantly achieve unity of effort. Importantly, it helps
establish mutual trust and shared understanding
throughout the force. Mission Command is
fundamental to ensuring that our Army stays ahead of
and adapts to the rapidly changing environments we
expect to face in the future."
- GEN Raymond T. Odierno, United States Army Chief of Staff, 5 May 14

SOME PATTERNS

IN CONCLUSION

• Agile values are organizational values
• Sustain the values and the principles – not the practices
• Culture is leadership driven
• Lead by example – model the desired behaviour
