The World Today—Technology is Transforming the Battlespace—

Easy proliferation of knowledge and technology has eroded US historic advantages– Increasing systems capabilities– Advanced production capabilities

• Driving lower costs• Decreasing the “time to market”

Increased rate of investment in military R&D from near-peers

Increasingly Competitive National Security Technical Environment

Speed and cycle time become the discriminator

“China’s 2017 (R&D) growth is basically twice the percentage change and twice the dollar amount of change as the growth

forecast for the U.S.’s 2017 R&D spending”

- 2017 GLOBAL R&D FUNDING FORECAST WINTER 2017 Industrial Research Institute, R&D Magazine

Our goal is to lead a sweeping transformation of the federal government’s technology…We’re embracing big

change, bold thinking, and outsider perspectives.– President Trump, Tech CEO Meeting, June 18, 2017

National Defense Strategy Lines of Effort

Lethality:

Build a More Lethal Force

Partnerships:

Strengthen Alliances and Attract New Partners

Reform:

Change the Way We Do Business

“When it comes to security, no one goes their own way in this world alone. Security is always best when provided by a team.”

– Secretary Mattis, Munich Security Conference, February 2017

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The Department conducted the first comprehensive review in a decade resulting the National Defense Strategy Sec Mattis unveiled the NDS in February 2018 as the first major policy document of the Trump administration Sec Mattis’ intent is “to pursue urgent change on a significant scale” US military is refocusing on fighting other nations rather than terrorist groups Means buying new equipment and embracing innovations so they reach the battlefield faster Erosion of US Military advantage vis-à-vis China and Russia, if unaddressed, could ultimately undermine our ability to deter aggression

The U.S. is now challenged to strike any adversary at willEqual access to emerging technologies, such as autonomy,

artificial intelligence and synthetic biology, will disrupt future conflictsThe U.S. still possesses the best military, however our

adversaries’ deliberate actions mandate change in what we buy and how we operateWe must develop new lethal capabilities and accelerate

the pace in which we get that capability to the warfighter

Focus on Modernization

Difference between Management and Leadership

Management

Planning & budgeting

Organizing & staffing

Controlling activities and solving problems

Both are important and they are complementary

Leadership

Setting direction

Aligning people

Motivating and inspiring

What is Leadership?

“To guide on a way or to direct the operations, activity, or performance” Webster’s Dictionary

“The ability to take people to places they would not have ordinarily gone on their own.”

Clay Jones, Chairman, President and CEO, Rockwell Collins

“Creating a shared vision; Motivating and inspiring people” John Kotter, PhD, Harvard Business School

A Successful Army Civilian leader ...

…Understands values and attributes are the

same for all leaders military and civilian,

regardless of position, although refined through

experience and assumption of positions of greater

responsibility.

You lead in a “military world”… you take the same oath of office …

You must earn respect everyday

Presenter

Presentation Notes

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: "I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God." This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

18


Leading in the Acquisition Profession

The Army does not treat military and civil service as just a job, but rather as a chosen career, selfless servants to our Army and the nation—the highest calling!

The hallmarks of the Army Profession include competence in expert work, moral character and resolute commitment.

The Acquisition Corps adds qualifications and continuous professional development to ensure that our Army Professionals strive for and meet these criteria.

You are professionals, in whom the nation places great trust based upon your expert knowledge of and adherence to the highest ethical standards.

Our military members trust you to deliver what they need to be successful on the field of battle! This is a trust that we cannot betray.

19


Leading Scientists and Engineers

Set the example for others. We are professionals, in whom the nation places great trust based upon our expert knowledge of and adherence to the highest ethical standards.

Gain their trust. The most difficult to attain and keep. Trust must be earned.

Recognize their hard work and drive them to look for every opportunity to find and accelerate innovation and deliver advanced technologies to our Soldiers.

Encourage them to never become satisfied with where we are now --we must continually grow and steward the expertise and versatility needed to be effective in future operations.

Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines are our most important customers. This is the foundation of our culture.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

First, great leaders have a vision – the ability to see beyond the day-to-day tasks and problems, to look beyond tomorrow and discern a world of possibilities and potential. How do you take any organization to a higher level of excellence? While a clear vision does not call for blind obedience or identify every step along the path to change, it does provide a clear end state and a general direction of movement. Additional quality necessary for leadership is deep conviction and the ability to instill enthusiasm throughout the ranks for the established vision. True leadership is strength of purpose and belief in a cause that reaches out to others and makes them eager to follow. Never underestimate the power of a trained and supportive workforce. I would add there is a necessity to execute relentlessly. We are bound by a bureaucracy that breeds inefficiency. As a leader, you must instill in your workforce the need to identify and eliminate inefficiency wherever and whenever possible. Make it your goal to root out inefficiency. This brings me to another mark of great leadership – the personal courage to make tough decisions and continue moving your workforce to the next level of excellence. Resistance to change never fully dissipates – even after early progress is made and short-term wins are generated. It takes courage to do what is right and not just what is popular. It takes courage to chart a new course, to stand alone and to act. You will be scrutinized, challenged, perhaps even chastised by some – but hold true to honor, integrity and the courage to do the right thing!
