West Point’s Center for the Advancement of Leader Development & Organizational

Learning (CALDOL)

On 09 October, 20 members of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) gathered at CALDOL

for a Leader Challenge workshop. The YPO members

were visiting West Point as guests of the Department

of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership. The session

was designed to introduce the CEOs to the Leader

Challenge method and how it supports the current

leader- development curriculum at West Point. The

energy in the room was incredible as these executives

wrestled with the real-life challenges faced by an

Army officer—What should he do? What should be

done next? How could leadership have prevented the

crisis? What can we learn from the experience?

These business leaders left with a leader-levelopment

approach they could incorporate into their respective organizations. COL Bernie Banks and LTC

Eric McCoy coordinated with CALDOL to plan the session, and McCoy, MAJ Laura Weimer,

and MAJ Casey Holler from BS&L participated as table facilitators.

Leadership counts!

Wounded Warrior CPT Edward “Flip” Klein Engages Cadets about Leadership in PL300

On 29 September 2014, BS&L Alumnus CPT Edward “Flip” Klein visited the department,

engaged with faculty from BS&L and the Simon Center, and taught cadets in PL300 (Military

Leadership). The topic was power and influence. CPT Klein discussed his experiences as a

platoon leader, leadership instructor at the Infantry School, combat commander in Afghanistan,

and wounded warrior. Cadets learned that one’s

use of power and influence reveals one’s

character, and that they should strive to use

various types of power in ways that make them

increasingly trusted and influential. Too often,

leaders use power in ways which get short term

results, but only undermine their long-term

influence. POC: [email protected], x

Current Week HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Hosting Visitors:

a. German: On 10 OCT, A group of twenty-five German Youth Information officers visited

West Point. Youth information officers fulfill a role in Germany similar to U.S. Public

Affairs officers. Established in 1958 in response to protests over the re-establishment of the

Bundeswehr, Youth Information officers visit schools, organize security seminars and mock

security councils, and arrange trips to visit troops in their barracks. Their goal is to tell the

German army’s story and emphasize the need for a military. The German officers briefed

two sections of LG371 in German and in turn answered question posed to them in German.

Following the briefing, they enjoyed lunch with the cadets in the Cadet Mess and received a

tour of West Point.

2. Semester Abroad Program (SAP) / Academic trip sections:

a. Spanish: Cadet Valerie Kutsch completed the final ruck march with third-class cadets

during the Spanish Military Academy cadet summer training program. USMA Cadets

participated with third year cadets of the Spanish Military Academy to experience a

portion of their summer training. Cadet Kutsch found the experience of working closely

with her counterparts in Spain rewarding, and she is excited for the academic semester to

begin. The experience has greatly increased her confidence in her language proficiency.

b. French: Cadets attending SAP at the French Military Academy, Saint-Cyr, joined French

cadets for a ceremony in Paris at Les Invalides recently where Saint-Cyrien “bazars”

(Plebes) meet their “binomes” (Team Leaders) for the first time. The following is a brief

description of the event:

The ceremony began in the Tomb of Napoleon, with the bazars on the lower

level – standing quietly with their heads lowered, reflecting on the

significance of the tomb and their commitment to being in the French army.

The second class cadets (the class we are with) all gathered around the

upper level that looked down upon Napolean’s coffin and the level of the

bazars. The bazars were called to attention, did an about face to face the

center, and the second class began singing. It was very moving and

impressive, especially with the acoustics of the tomb. The singing of the

cadets is incredible, especially because they all sing beautifully and in

harmony. The second part of the ceremony was conducted in the square of

the Musee de l’Armee, and this is when the second class marched forward in

front of the formation of bazars, stood in front of their respective bazars,

and both the 2nd class and 3rd class (bazars) sang a song together.

interdisciplinary audience of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty from all over the tri-

state area. Not only did the panelists contextualize the long and contentious religious

history between Sunni and Shia Muslims, Amos and Nasr also offered astute observations on the

current state of affairs in the Middle East, particularly Iraq, Syria, and ISIS. Following the

discussion, Cadets had time to mingle with their civilian counterparts from nearby universities

and interact with CRF staff and fellows. Trip sections like this allow cadets to share

their insights and perspectives with civilians, meet the Superintendent's intent for continued

engagement with institutions and organizations in New York City, and enrich their academic

experience. The cadets absolutely enjoyed themselves and appreciated the opportunity to visit

the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations.
