Beyond new organizations and technologies, the Army Transformation process and endstate will entail a new cultural mindset. More than ever before, organizational (command) climate will become an increasingly significant prerequisite for unit effectiveness and combat readiness. While many Army units enjoy positive command climate, too many do not. Several adverse trends in command climate have persisted in the Army for nearly 30 years, perhaps because, in practice, the officer culture emphasizes short-term mission accomplishment more than long-term organizational growth, or because Army systems reinforce individual performance rather than organizational effectiveness. Either emphasis, if true, detracts from combat readiness. The author explores the nature of command climate in the U.S. Army, its antecedents, and its consequences. Strategic remedies relating to unit climate assessment, leader development, performance appraisal, and accountability systems are proposed.

Beyond new organizations and technologies, the Army Transformation process and end-state will entail a new cultural mindset. More than ever before, organizational (command) climate will become an increasingly significant prerequisite for unit effectiveness and combat readiness. Today's organizational- and individual-level systems, however, are insufficient to ensure that positive command climate is universally established and sustained across the U.S. Army. While many Army units enjoy positive command climate, too many do not. Several adverse trends in command climate have persisted in the Army for nearly 30 years, perhaps because, in practice, the officer culture emphasizes short-term mission accomplishment more than long-term organizational growth, or because Army systems reinforce individual performance rather than organizational effectiveness. Either emphasis, if true, detracts from combat readiness. Compounding the problem, Army leaders are not taught how to assess or improve command climate nor rewarded when they do so. Army organizations, officers, and soldiers deserve better. Cultural norms and counterproductive evaluation, leader development, and accountability systems are at the root of the U.S. Army's problems regarding organizational (command) climate. Absent a shift in cultural emphasis and adjustment of systems to reinforce the change, command climate will continue to suffer; and unit effectiveness, morale and trust, retention, and commitment will continue to be significantly degraded. This monograph explores the nature of command climate in the U.S. Army, its antecedents, and its consequences. Remedies relating to unit climate assessment, leader development, performance appraisal, and accountability systems are proposed.

Recent studies confirm that the Army officer corps holds widely varying views of the quality of leadership and composition of command climates. Every commander today seeks a healthy, positive command climate and a cohesive unit. Command climate is a state or resulting condition existing from shared feelings and perceptions among soldiers about their unit, about their leaders, and about their unit's programs and policies. This condition is created by the commander's vision and leadership style. The key to a positive command climate is the credibility of the commander, established through trust, communications, loyalty, and confidence. Tools to build a consistently supportive climate are available to the Army--from history and from social sciences. Besides modifications in leader selection, the long-term development and formulation of a systematic approach to climate building provides another means for improving dramatically combat readiness. The cost is really not high. A philosophy of command (or leadership) widely articulated and for addressing key organizational issues offers an effective management tool creating the positive aspects of a command climate. This study will provide a review of the concept of command climate and its linkage to command philosophy; discuss the relationship of command climate and 'organizational leadership;' outline a model based on what can be learned from practice, and finally, draw some conclusions extracted from the research. The study will also provide some recommendations. Lastly, the study will provide future leaders with some insights on how to shape their organizational climates. Positive, healthy command climates help make combat- ready units.

"The Secretary of the Army tasked the U.S. Army War College to provide some "brainstorming" and "raw opinions" on the following issue: Given an institutional objective to establish and maintain effective command climate, how can the Army effectively assess leaders to prevent those with destructive leadership styles? ... This report was written after a review of student products, and recorded group interviews of students in the seminars who agreed to participate. Thematic analysis was conducted manually after reviewing transcribed excerpts of facilitated discussions. Themes were identified by professors and verified by independent analysis by separate groups of student volunteers."--Executive summary.

A New York Times bestseller! An epic history of the decline of American military leadership—from the bestselling author of Fiasco and Churchill and Orwell. While history has been kind to the American generals of World War II—Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, and Bradley—it has been less kind to the generals of the wars that followed, such as Koster, Franks, Sanchez, and Petraeus. In The Generals, Thomas E. Ricks sets out to explain why that is. In chronicling the widening gulf between performance and accountability among the top brass of the U.S. military, Ricks tells the stories of great leaders and suspect ones, generals who rose to the occasion and generals who failed themselves and their soldiers. In Ricks’s hands, this story resounds with larger meaning: about the transmission of values, about strategic thinking, and about the difference between an organization that learns and one that fails.

Command climate is one of the most observed and least understood concepts in the military. A goal of every commander today is a healthy command climate and a cohesive unit. The key to a positive command climate is credibility of the commander, communication, trust, and confidence. Keeping this in mind, command climate is a state or condition existing from shared feelings and perceptions among soldiers about their unit, about their leaders, and about their unit's programs and policies. This condition is created by the commander and his chain of command from the commander's vision and leadership style, and influenced and perpetuated by their communication and their leadership. The objectives of this study are to provide an 'audit trail' of the rise of the command climate concept in hopes of arriving at an understanding of the idea; discuss its recognition, controversial nature, purpose, application and linkage; review the awareness and acceptance problem; identify existing means of evaluating the concept; suggest ways of improving a unit's command climate; and last, make several conclusions and recommendations about command climate in order to prevent it from becoming an 'endangered species'. It is recommended that this study be reviewed by DCSPER, TRADOC, and MACOM Leadership Divisions; shared with future commanders at the Precommand Course; and considered for publication Army-wide.
