This vocation pursues a balance in which effectiveness prevails over efficiency as the key to becoming a professional. There are two key definitions which are crucial to understanding the Army as a Profession of Arms; The Profession of Arms and the Professional Solider. These two definitions are inherently linked together, members of the Armed Forces can be ordered to place their lives on the line daily where they undertake their well-being for the greater good which is why it is important to be a professional expert. It takes years and sometimes even careers to become an expert and it is important that the Army takes the time and spends the resources to ensure that Soldiers and leaders are developed properly both as individuals and as units. 2.

With evolvements of military technologies, military reform plays a major part in transforming the defence community of one’s nation. Force structures, organisation, equipment, budgets, doctrine, and strategy are parts of the mechanism of the transformation process that are well known in order to maximise the outcome of a reformed military. Ann Altman stated in her speech during the tenth annual Global Solutions Projects and Defence Exchange Conference, in Brussels last year that complexity is the main challenge in addressing the future outcomes of military technology due to the nature of the world as more irresolute, volatile and complex . This statement will be intertwined with the analogy of military reforms and this paper will show the important traits that support

History of Psychological Assessment: Army Alpha Test Initially, there were two tests that were used to evaluate military recruits. Those tests were the Army Alpha and Beta Test. The Beta test was more focused on measuring native intellect and the testing of non-English speaking recruits. The focus of this paper is on the Army Alpha test; it’s historical roots and how the test has affected the development of psychological testing in the 21st century. In 1917, the need for psychological testing arose when the United States entered into World War I.
It will also focus on the challenges that leaders face in today’s organization. The challenges that will be discussed include understanding the traits and behaviors of flourishing leaders, determining when to use those behaviors in different situations, understanding the emotional and intellectual capabilities of leadership, being an ethical leader, and motivating others to accomplish organizational goals. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? Leadership is a concept that has been observed since ancient times. It wasn’t until the twenty century that we began to try to define and understand the concept and devolvement of
Contingency Theories of Leadership To successfully run an organization, many aspects must work together to ensure that everything runs efficiently and effectively. A major part to the effectiveness of the organization internally is leadership among the organizations staff members. But what is leadership and why is it important? We define leadership as the ability to influence group towards the achievement of a vision or set of goals (Robbins et al 2011). Without being able to communicate, direct and inspire people like leaders do, organizations would struggle to be successful as they would not be able to do effectively communicate visions and help overcome hurdles to the best of their ability.

A person has to teach and train themselves to become a good or even great critical thinker. And last, but not least, I learned that there are stage of critical thinking that you go though. Not everyone will be on the same stage of critical thinking. You will have to figure out what stage of critical thinking you are at, and work at advancing to the next stages until you become a “master thinker.” After I reevaluated my stage of critical thinking from Week One when I had placed myself at Stage Two: The Challenged Thinker, I personally think that I am just beginning to transition into Stage Three: The Beginning Thinker. My reason for stating this is because I have
