This article challenges the traditional model of hierarchical strategic leadership that currently dominates the military profession, and proposes complex adaptive systems (CAS) as a more appropriate alternative. Identifies leadership tasks - such as relationship building, improvising, learning, complicating - that match this model, and contrasts them with traditional tasks such as standardization, simplification, knowing, commanding and controlling.
