Military leaders like to say that “people are our most valuable resource,” and yet this most precious commodity has been steadily leaving for years. This is a reflection of CAF members’ sense that they are not valued; indeed, while leaders talk about the value of their people, they just as often talk about “the primacy of operations”: the idea that the missions assigned by the Canadian government come first – and thus, people come second.
The military promotion process has a similar problem. Advancement evaluations are largely based on individual performance and qualifications, and at the mid-rank level, success is judged by how one commands an operation. But these approaches don’t incentivize people-focused and team-oriented leadership. Promotions and other rewards should be given to members who are effective at motivating and directing an efficient team that can overcome challenges.
