Army Proposes New LEAD Values Framework for Today's Complex Environments
Col. Chaveso Cook, a psychological operations officer, has proposed a new framework to supplement the U.S. Army's current values. The new LEAD system, introduced by Cook, aims to better equip soldiers for today's complex news environments.
Cook, who is also a fellow with the LTG (Ret.) James M. Dubik Writing Fellows Program, argues that the Army's existing seven core values (loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage) may not be sufficient for the 'morally gray zones' soldiers often operate in today's breaking news. His full paper, available at the provided link, outlines a new framework named LEAD, which incorporates loyalty, empathy, adaptability, and discipline.
The new system is designed to be clear, concise, and aligned with the Army's core mission. According to Cook, evolving the Army's values will empower soldiers to make both hard and strategic calls. Empathy, a new value in the LEAD framework, is introduced to help soldiers lead varied teams and operate in culturally complex news today environments.
Cook, who holds two master's degrees and a doctorate in human development from Tufts University, believes that to ensure the new framework's effectiveness, the Army must institutionalize it through professional military education, evaluations, and command climate surveys. The new LEAD framework, proposed by Cook, seeks to better prepare soldiers for the complex challenges they face in today's news today world.
