  3. GENERAL REIMER CONCEPT – 1999 • “The premium on tomorrow’s battlefield will be the ability to quickly analyze a situation and come up with innovative solutions. The speeds at which events occur and their complexity will require leaders with agile minds who can think through a problem logically, come up with a viable course of action, and translate that concept into clear, simple language to subordinates.” • General Dennis J. Reimer, 33rd U.S. Army Chief of Staff, 1995-1999

  4. TRADOC CONCEPT – 22 March 2005

  5. WAR COLLEGE CONCEPT – 2005 • “In the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment we face for the foreseeable future, if we were to choose one advantage over our adversaries, it would certainly be this: to be superior in the art of learning and adaption.” • “Adapt or Die: The Imperative for a Culture of Innovation in the United States Army”, BG David A. Fastabend and Mr. Robert H. Simpson

  6. Crucible Experience and Adaptive Capacity • Crucible Experience: both an opportunity and a test with a defining moment that unleashes abilities, forces crucial choices, and sharpens focus; teaches a person who he or she is • Adaptive Capacity: allows leaders to respond quickly and intelligently to constant change; ability to identify and seize opportunities and allows leaders to act and then evaluate results instead of attempting to collect and analyze all data before acting

  7. AGILE LEADER DEFINED • FM 6-22 defines mental agility as a flexibility of mind, a tendency to anticipate or adapt to uncertain or changing situations. Agility involves breaking from mental sets or habitual thought patterns, to improvise when faced with conceptual impasses, and to quickly apply multiple perspectives to consider new approaches or solutions.
