Abstract
The purpose of this inquiry is to evaluate several leadership traits and their impact on future naval warfare. The Navy recognizes the continuing need to develop warfighters’ ability to lead effectively in a dynamic, changing environment. This study conducts a comparative analysis of the key leadership traits associated in the literature with successful leadership, the place of traits such as integrity, accountability, and humility and the leadership traits currently emphasized in the Navy Desired Leadership Attributes (NDLA) and Navy’s Division Officer Leadership Course (DIVOLC). The objective is to help leaders understand what key leadership traits are associated with successful leadership and to identify the strengths and any potential gaps in the current DIVOLC.
