FM 6-22 Developing Leaders tells the reader how an Army leader looks and acts. Mastery of this doctrine is a wise investment of a professional Soldier’s time.
Developing leaders is an important part of stewarding our profession, the profession of arms. The U.S. Army’s asymmetric advantage in this volatile and complex world is our leadership at echelon. No other Army in the world can match us; frankly speaking, we have the best people.
I firmly believe that leaders are made and not born, and thus require a significant investment of time and energy to develop. FM 6-22 assists in this quest and applies to all leaders at echelon, from fire team to division. It provides specifics and examples of how to develop leaders, including oneself. This doctrine walks through a range of developmental activities that focus on feedback, practice, and study.
FM 6-22, Developing Leaders provides a doctrinal framework covering methods for how leaders develop other leaders, improve their organizations, build teams, and develop themselves. FM 6-22 emphasizes the active process of teaching, training, coaching, mentoring, study, and learning required for developing Army leaders. Development does not merely happen because of established institutional and administrative policies; developing leaders requires deliberate intent and genuine engagement by raters, senior raters, instructors, trainers, support personnel, and the leaders themselves.
