Military Culture Shift

The Impact of War, Money, and Generational Perspective on Morale, Retention, and Leadership

De: Corie Weathers

Narrado por: Corie Weathers

A guide to understanding and leading today's US military force.

Significant shifts in military culture have created a complex set of challenges, impacting morale and motivation, recruitment and retention, and program participation. Military Culture Shift presents the story of US military service members, their families, and the institution itself, through the lens of multiple generations, and the major factors impacting modern-day recruitment, retention, leadership, and wellness. A licensed counselor and leadership consultant, author Corie Weathers draws from her professional work with military families and leaders, more than 15 years of research, and her own military spouse experience to offer narrative history, insights, and perspectives on:

• Generational viewpoints, from World War I veterans to today’s recruits (Gen Z);
• Short- and long-term impact of Department of Defense budget decisions;
• Emerging social trends within the military community, especially post-9/11;
• Cumulative effect of two decades of war on military family wellness.

Of special interest to military leaders, service members, military family members, as well as historians, politicians, educators, and counselors, Military Culture Shift helps readers understand and embrace:

• How past decisions have led to the current state;
• Generational differences in motivation, trust in authority, and learning styles;
• Why families aren't turning up for in-person and social events;
• Communication shifts that impact cohesiveness;
• Leadership strategies to influence positive changes going forward.

It covered a lot.

I've been in the military for 33 years. I could relate to some of what the author spoke of. Didn't agree with all of it. Felt like it needed more pointed actions that should be taken or more direct things that leaders can do. Not that there wasn't any, just could have been highlighted better. Thought some of the generational info was too much. Minor note.....at the end of the chapters there was no pause before saying the next chapter.....2-3 seconds to let my mind take a breath would have been nice.
