Transformational Leadership in Military Education: Lithuanian Case Study

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the successful transfer of transformational leadership program and coaching practice to Lithuanian military education. The authors of this paper propose that the universal nature and theory of transformational leadership is fully applicable to any military organization. Through enhanced learning, feedback and interaction practices any organization will achieve a permanent competitive advantage. A case study of educational system transfer from Finland to Lithuania based on results in Gen. J. Žemaitis Military Academy (MAL) is presented. As a conclusion further interest should be placed on troop level competence development and measurement.
