By U.S. Department of the Army

Book Overview

This edition of the US Army Leadership Field Manual (FM 22-100) establishes a unified leadership theory for all Army leaders based on the Army leadership framework and three leadership levels. Specifically, it- Defines and discusses Army values and leader attributes. Discusses character-based leadership. Establishes leader attributes as part of character. Focuses on improving people and organizations for the long term. Outlines three levels of leadership-direct, organizational, and strategic. Identifies four skill domains that apply at all levels. Specifies leadership actions for each level.

The Army leadership framework brings together many existing leadership concepts by establishing leadership dimensions and showing how they relate to each other. Solidly based on BE, KNOW, DO-that is character, competence, and action-the Army leadership framework provides a single instrument for leader development. Individuals can use it for self-development. Leaders can use it to develop subordinates. Commanders can use it to focus their programs. By establishing leadership dimensions grouped under the skill domains of values, attributes, skills, and actions, the Army leadership framework provides a simple way to think about and discuss leadership.

The Army is a values-based institution. This field manual establishes and clarifies those values. Army leaders must set high standards, lead by example, do what is legally and morally right, and influence other people to do the same. They must establish and sustain a climate that ensures people are treated with dignity and respect and create an environment in which people are challenged and motivated to be all they can be. This field manual discusses these aspects of leadership and how they contribute to developing leaders of character and competence.

Something practical we can all use throughout our life.

US Army Leadership Field Manual (FM 22-100) This book carried me through two different decades in the military. It is one of the few books that make clear what leadership is and the actual mechanics of leadership, which can apply to everyday life. But for anyone in the military or planning a military career, this book is worth reading, even if not issued. I plan to use it if I ever get around to authoring that novel. This book is much more than the sum of its parts, and to understand it, you must live it. One of my favorites is: “The practical value of history is to throw the film of the past through the material projector of the present onto the screen of the future.” - B. H. Liddell Hart (1895-1970), English Military Writer and Strategist.
