431 Pages·2015·3.2 MB·English

This book is a compilation of papers and discussions from the
Third International Transformation Conference and Workshop
on Leader Development in Washington, DC, on June 19-20, 2013.
The event was sponsored by the NATO Headquarters Supreme
Allied Commander Transformation, hosted at the National Defense
University, and supported by the International Transformation
Chairs Network.
With a decade of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan nearing the
end, one of the many lessons learned from these wars has been
the importance of leader development, and how leaders must
be adaptable enough to meet the contemporary and emerging
security challenges. Thus, the Professional Military Education
enterprise across the U.S. and its allies must be directed towards
CHANGING MINDSETS
preparing leaders for an unpredictable and complex world. These
chapters are grouped according to the most important categories
for achieving this end: 1) The Human Dimension of Transformation;
2) The Changing Nature of Adult Education—Drivers of Change; 3) TO TRANSFORM SECURITY:
Perspectives on Joint Education; 4) International Attitudes; and 5)
Enlisted Education and Other Concepts.
The conference delivered valuable insights, visions, and Leader Development for an
recommendations on how to reorganize education across the
national security spectrum to create better warfighters, uniformed
and civilian, because it is these leaders, now and into the future, that Unpredictable and Complex World
will help to define the world in which we live.
