“…Developmental leadership differs from transformational leadership by not addressing destructive leadership. Hence, charisma—which is part of transformational leadership as both constructive and destructive—is replaced by influencing and motivating subordinates (Boe & Holth, 2015). Furthermore, developmental leadership adds a focus on reciprocal care and consideration of employees and can be assumed to relate to behavioral outcomes in a manner similar to transformational leadership (Larsson et al, 2003).…”

Military organizations often emphasize the importance of loyalty. It has been suggested that loyalty enhances motivation to take great risks and strive to accomplish a mission. However, research into what influences loyalty among military personnel is scarce. Hence, the aim of this study was to examine how leadership and social identity fusion relate to loyalty, using data from a sample consisting of a Swedish military unit on a United Nation mission ( N = 152) in Mali. Hierarchical multiple regression results generally showed that social identity fusion and leadership were positively related to a willingness to show loyalty to the closest workgroup, one’s own unit, and the mission. The findings indicate that leadership and high levels of social identity fusion may influence the willingness to be loyal to organizational goals. The practical implication of this study is increased knowledge about the importance of leadership and social identity in developing relevant loyalties.

“…The power of communication can also be found in the relationship between leader communication and employee anxiety, especially in challenging times (Argenti, 2020;Stern, 2013). Crisis management calls for leader communication which is transparent, factoring empathy and most of all, is authentic (Boe & Holth, 2015a, 2015c, 2015b. In order for any change management programs to work, it is essential that leaders in the organization must convey how important the change is and must reflect their personal and visible commitment towards the entire process of change.…”

In this article, researchers will introduce readers to the concept of leadership through perspectives of different schools of leadership thoughts. We intend to bring to notice an important discussion on leadership in military organisations and its implications on non-military organisations and institutions. There is a plethora of literature especially borrowing from military literature, which can set the stage for our understanding of what could make up for a robust leadership model comprising of competencies like- power of personal example and influence, adaptive resilience, making critical decisions amid uncertainty, regulated leadership behaviors and thoughts, preparedness, communicating with teams and building trust.

“…It was concluded that initiative and confidence were vital for leadership success. Boe and Holth (2015) investigated possible correlations between inspiration and motivation in leadership. Based on hypotheses derived from previous studies, they used two questionnaires to measure personality traits and leadership style in the Norwegian Army.…”

Army personnel perceives character and personality traits as playing an important role in promoting high ranking officers to leaders. Whether the different categories of army personnel perceive the relative importance of such traits similarly is a question of significance for the morale, cohesiveness and efficiency of the armed forces. This paper addresses the documented scarcity of empirical research on such perceptions. The research literature on leadership traits was reviewed with emphasis on the armed and security forces. An online questionnaire was designed and 2702 responses of Greek armed and security forces personnel were collected, including 947 officers, 534 non-commissioned officers, 531 veterans, 81 security forces personnel, and 609 civil personnel. An 86.3% of respondents felt that leadership promotions failed to consider appropriate character and personality traits such as crisis management, integrity, perception, meritocracy, strategic proficiency, bluntness, and impartiality. Cooperation with the political leadership was considered unduly important. Cluster Analysis confirmed by Discriminant Analysis rendered four clusters: politically non-aligned; religious; authority-oriented conformist; and dissatisfied nonconformist. To maintain the morale and cohesiveness of military personnel, it was advised that the promotion to leaders of the armed and security forces be enriched with distilled elements of wisdom from the perceptions of all personnel clusters.
