Dwight David Eisenhower (1955), the 34th president of the United States, gave an explicit definition of leadership: “The task of convincing people to really want to do something is the essence of leadership …. " The Army, like any other civilian organization, defines different levels of leadership depending on the size of the unit a leader commands. Tactical and organizational leaderships are the top two interconnected levels of leadership in the Army. Both Leadership levels have many commonalities regarding duties and responsibilities; however, they are very different in how leaders develop, train, and care for their soldiers. The most notable difference between these two leadership levels is the role that leaders perform in training soldiers. Both types of leadership are actively involved in the training process. Tactical leaders participate directly in the training process on a daily basis, while organizational leaders act more as supervisors front, right next to their subordinate soldiers both in the barracks and in the field. They mostly exercise their leadership through personal presence and the “lead by example” model. Organizational leaders will be more involved in providing a broad vision, developing concepts, establishing goals and guidelines, and planning the training process rather than executing it. These different dimensions of responsibility consequently require different levels of education. Another difference between these two leaderships is self-development. Personal development is an ongoing process, and most leaders consider it a key to successful leadership. Leaders think analytically and creatively, considering multiple perspectives and… middle of the paper… rational. The distribution of authorized authority among the different levels of leadership is an indispensable and fundamental keystone, which allows the Army to most effectively address the issues the Army encounters.
