2012 Center for Army Leadership Annual Survey of Army Leadership (CASAL): Army Civilian Leaders

“…Practices that civilian leaders more often engaged in 'occasionally' or 'rarely' include self development (52%), learning from superiors (54%), formal leader development programs (60%), and developmental counseling from a supervisor (67%). Mentorship from someone outside the chain of command was reported to occur the least often (32% 'never' and 50% 'occasionally or rarely') (Riley, Conrad, & Keller-Glaze, 2012).…”

“…Though it was not assessed in the 2012 CASAL, past studies have found that perceptions about organizational support for self-development vary. In 2011, just over one-third (38%) of civilian leaders agreed their unit or organization made time available for self development, though more than half (55%) believed their organization expected them to participate in self development other than mandatory training (Riley, Conrad, & Keller-Glaze, 2012).…”
