CASAL is an annual survey sponsored by the Combined Arms Center to assess the quality of Army leadership and leader development. 2012 findings are based on responses from Army civilian leaders. The report provides findings for over 200 survey questions. Civilian strengths in leader attributes and competencies are reported. Army civilian leaders are strong in getting results, understanding complex situations, and making good resource decisions. Civilian leaders, like uniformed leaders, can improve in the actions related to developing subordinates. Work experience is favored as the leader practice that has the largest impact on civilian leader development. Most graduates of a Civilian Education System course (80%) felt that the course met their expectations, while around 50% felt that the course challenged them, improved their leadership, or helped them develop their subordinates. Also less than half felt that their last performance counseling was useful in setting goals for improvement. Most Army civilian leaders (88%) believe the Army is a profession. Findings are also reported on trust, career satisfaction, and workload stress. |
