The information age is changing the face of warfare and how we prepare leaders. Network centric warfare is transforming how DoD fights and these changes demand we expand our approaches to training leaders to keep pace with a more distributed battlespace. According to the FCS Operational & Organizational plan, "Small unit leaders will be able to command and control over greater distances … operating in widely dispersed areas, integrated with CA Teams across the JIM spectrum." The impact will be more 'distributed' leadership. Above the small unit level it is reasonable, possibly desirable, to create combat teams with little previous contact or interaction thus increasing leadership challenges. A network centric battlefield will require distributed leadership beyond today's doctrine. To enhance current leadership doctrine and training, we propose integrating new research emerging on distributed leadership with the challenges of a net-centric force. Research on distributed leadership in business has recently flourished. This paper draws from work to identify training strategies that will enhance leadership in the military's future net-centric world. Leaders of dispersed teams must overcome team members' sense of isolation and disconnectedness, distrust, and weak coordination. They meet these challenges through frequent interactions via the strategic use of multiple communication technologies, consistent, clear, and adequate information, and well-timed feedback. We pinpoint specific training approaches for leaders that, in conjunction with a solid base of leadership training, will significantly enhance their ability to lead distributed teams. The accelerated move to a more modular Army makes this paper timely. Ongoing reorganization plans call for transforming current forces into modular Units of Action, the building blocks of the Future Force. Leader development challenges cannot be put off until 2010 when the first FCS-equipped UA is fielded. Preparing for distributed leadership is crucial to the success of our current and future forces.
