@DefenceHQ Thank you RAF C17 crew. Powerful image the I AM signs coming from Canada to the U.K. It’s not lost on me that these are the same aircraft that conduct our strategic aeromedical evacuation bringing our Wounded, Injured and Sick home. 🦾

"Research has identified gender can play a factor. For example, some subordinates not recognising the legitimacy of the female boss.This finding was noted in the 2021 HCDC report, where “overt hostility towards, and bullying of, women” was reported"

"In the current era of great power competition and the prospect of large-scale conventional war it brings, these shortcomings are worthy of careful consideration.  This undoubtedly warrants a renewed focus on studying operational art"

Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.

Do you agree?

For future war crimes trials in Ukraine to succeed, it is essential to give thought to how they can address the responsibility of those who fund, or profit from, Russia’s war in Ukraine, argues @antonm_law in the latest #RUSICommentary.

All leaders are themselves followers, and nearly all followers have the ability to lead. 

Followership is the act of willingly accepting the influence of others to achieve a shared outcome. If leadership is a relationship, an interaction between two or more individuals, a leader must have someone to lead. Leadership and followership are, therefore, inextricably linked. They not only coexist but are mutually supporting and work together, driven by a shared purpose.

A ‘follower’, like a ‘leader’, is an assumed role not an assigned position of authority. In turn, followership refers to the actions of one person or a group of individuals in a reciprocal role to that of the leader. A follower, therefore, is a no lesser role to that of the leader. It is often the changing context that will dictate which role is assumed by whom.

In the Army, the relationship between leader and followers extends beyond the typical superior-subordinate relationship indicative of military hierarchy and command. Sometimes circumstances will arise that require those in a superior position of authority to follow those who hold a more subordinate appointment. No one, therefore, is a ‘pure’ leader or a ‘pure’ follower - it is a dynamic relationship that is often dictated by the requirements of the situation. 

To get the best out of the leader-follower relationship, participants must believe it is a collaborative partnership in which both parties have agency, and both are actively taking part in determining the outcome. The central cog in this partnership, uniting both leader and followers, is a shared purpose, informed by common set of shared Values.

From Private to General, we all have a responsibility to follow.

How can we prevent and then stop toxic behaviours in people from promoting?

"The 180 and 360 degree reporting are helping...How many mature conversations do we have with our Line Managers about our behaviours? Because we could all improve"

@wavellroom I wonder what gets costed out de-humanising the process. We have to ensure transactional efficiency and digitisation does not supplant the people connection that puts the individual at the heart of the equation.

Today small, professional forces do not have the combat power to sustain large, dense fronts. Combatants now converge on urban areas, where key strategic, operational and tactical objectives are located.

@TheMontagueInn @PUNC20_LiamW @QARNNS Still incredibly privileged to be serving. Never forgot my roots and those who helped me to get where I am. Thanks Sean. 👊🏿

@wavellroom Really good article and surprisingly little training for senior leaders in dealing with upward bullying.

Last week the @DMS_RCDM provided essential surgical training to #Ukrainian doctors.

This will save lives in operational areas, and is just one of the many ways the UK supports Ukraine.
