The U.S. Army faces a difficult and challenging context today. To help meet these challenges, we propose the Army looks beyond traditional, individual-level approaches to leadership to include a collective leadership framework. A conceptualization of collective leadership is presented that is multi-level in nature, builds on a foundation of general leadership concepts, includes communication as a core element, is team- and network-based, and considers both “hard” and “soft” criteria and situational moderators applicable to individual leaders, squads, platoons, companies, battalions, and brigades. The fundamentals of a new measurement system for collective leadership are then developed. Viable measures of various aspects and dimensions of the collective leadership conceptualization are constructed using markers, surveys, interviews, critical incidents, and policy capturing scenarios to begin a multi-level assessment of collective leadership for the Army. Measurement instruments are provided as a part of this report.
