This is not a joke, but it is sad & pathetic
Jul 26th, 2017 at 5:40pm
 

The social engineering continues, the one organisation whose job it is to kill people has now decided they need to be less 'authoritarian, assertive and angry'.

Even the journos think it is a farce by likening the Australian Army to an episode of Utopia. It would be fkken hilarious if it wasn't so fkked up.


Well with an issue of brand new combat vaginas they will be the belles of any inter-service Dinning in Night.  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin



THE Australian Army is hiring private “executive coaches” to teach its senior officers “self-awareness”, “emotional intelligence”, “cross-cultural competence” and “interpersonal maturity” in an effort to combat perceptions that they are too “authoritarian, assertive and angry”.
It has also commissioned “psychometric and psychological testing” as part of the Australian Defence Force’s push to transform its culture to fit with modern standards.
The Department of Defence has tendered for “executive coaching services” for private and group sessions with its top brass that would not be out of place on the bureaucratic satire Utopia.
The top priority referred to in the tender documents is “Self Awareness of Strategic Leadership Style”.
Defence describes this as: “Exploration of personal values, beliefs, attitudes and associations and their impact on personal leadership behaviour.”

Then it would have been no better than being a lazy unionised civilian, and who the fkk would want to be that.


Weak leadership will turn the army into a joke, but it is at least confined to the army and hasn't spread.

Shame that those involved in the career of arms should treat their career as well, a career, isn't it, BigOl64.

Having known quite a few senior ranks over the years, both in and out of uniform, they have an aura of command.  The successful ones know when to turn it on and off, to be human and act human.

The less successful ones?  Oh, dear.  Perhaps they need to be taught?   Just putting on a Cam uniform does not automatically make a person suitable to command others in battle.   Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Yeah it happens sometimes. Especially if that RAAF officer thinks he is dealing with cretins and if he was in Canberra, it was probably the case.

I have had good bosses and idiot bosses, it didn't always matter what type of leader they were, mainly because I had a job to do and it got done regardless of what my boss was like.

One of the many up sides of being a RAAF Techo and not some 'directed peon'.

Any chance I can get a link to what t is you are talking about before I comment further, or at least get some info.

I can see why he may have let loose of some floating idiot in from of him, but until I have some deets, it''s pretty hard to comment.  Smiley Smiley
