Liderança estratégica: como os conceitos de liderança preconizados pelo Comando da Aeronáutica estão se consolidando perante as novas gerações

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze how the concepts of leadership disseminated within the scope of the Air Force Command meet the aspirations of the new generations joining the ranks of the Armed Forces, in particular the representatives of Generations X and Y. The study was prepared from a bibliographic and documentary research, seeking to bring to light several contemporary concepts of leadership, especially those defended by the Brazilian Air Force Leadership Manual, a recently published document. Research was also carried out with officers, in senior and subordinate positions, belonging to the staff of the Air Force Center for Instruction and Adaptation, organization responsible for training new officer for the Brazilian Air Force, in order to allow a better understanding of the phenomenon. Among the results obtained, it was found that respondents have strong adherence to the concepts and attitudes advocated, regardless of their hierarchical positions, reinforcing the perception that the basic precepts of military institutions, hierarchy and discipline, remain solid even with the frequent and increasingly rapid behavioral changes experienced by today's society.
