Title:
A Conceptual Model of Army Leader Systems Thinking
Report Date:
2022-12-01
Abstract:
This research identified systems thinking requirements for Army leaders and developed a conceptual model that describes behaviors needed for successful systems thinking. Literature on systems thinking was reviewed, and a series of individual and group sessions were held with active-duty officers, and with military and civilian instructors, to identify dimensions and behaviors related to leader systems thinking in the Army. A model of systems thinking was proposed that has five dimensions: Identifying Elements, Understanding Dynamic Relationships, Shifting Perspectives, Identifying Holistic Patterns, and Responding to Change. Each dimension is described further with specific behavioral examples. The conceptual model can serve as the foundation needed for developing tools to assess systems thinking in Army leaders.
