Abstract

Abstract : There currently is no comprehensive, research-based technology specifically designed and developed to assist Air Force officers in systematically assessing and developing the capabilities, qualities and qualifications required to perform effectively in executive-level positions of authority and responsibility. As used in this study, the term 'executive-level' refers to positions normally filled by officers in the grade of colonel and general. This study develops a comprehensive conceptual model of executive effectiveness in the Air Force. In general, the model comprises three subsets of executive effectiveness factors: professional military factors, general leadership and management factors, and functional/technical factors. The study also includes a critical review and assessment of the Air Force's current Officer Professional Development system. This analysis is accomplished by systematically comparing the existing system against a comprehensive set of design/assessment criteria. Considering the comprehensive conceptual model and the critical analysis of the existing Air Force Officer Professional Development system, the study describes in detail a process for systematically designing, developing, implementing and maintaining a comprehensive executive self- assessment and development system. The study concludes with specific recommendations for management action and for follow-on related research.
