AB  - Discusses US Army War College approach to including Strategic
Leadership in its curriculum. Key aspects emerged from a preliminary,
widely based conference: the environment in which a leader must
function; their tasks; the competences they require. These are analysed.
Competences are subdivided into personal characteristics (robustness,
tolerance of uncertainty, willingness to reopen decisions, viewing
mistakes as new information), frames of reference (to be wide), and
specific capabilities (complex cognitive skills, persuasiveness, lateral
networking). Compares effectiveness of academic with on‐the‐job
learning, looks at learning methodologies and curriculum design issues,
and the importance of practitioner mentoring.
