military leadership, military environment, and character of military training influence on performance
The findings of the study show that military leadership, military environment, and character of military training has a lot of influence on performance. The results showed that there is organizational leadership, team or shared leadership, and task leadership in the military structure. Leaders who are commanders or generals have routine tasks and missions that must be completed and have to supervise their juniors to get work done. Competence of a Leader is measure by evaluating themselves or by their juniors. The flow of command from the leader has to be followed to the letter by their subordinates. (Taylor, 2018).
Leadership, especially in the military context, is complex. Uncertainty of warfare requires leaders to be very adaptable as they engage in activities that are quite complex and ambiguous. Modern war requires that leaders can deal with both their troops and the civilians. Failing to improve cultural awareness will prove to be a critical vulnerability for U.S. forces. Bureaucracy may be the main undoing in the military services within the USA. Strategic military leaders should champion for a better military environment, better training as well as rewarding junior soldiers through career development (Ulmer, 2018). The paper also finds out that soft skills such as empathy, the right attitude, and humanity are critical skills for any military leader. These soft skills are essential weapons when dealing with a troop primarily through creating trust and being aware of subordinates.
Further research should be done on approaches that should be developed in cooperation with the civilians to defeat the enemy.
