 In September 1939, General George C. Marshall assumed the duties of Chief of Staff of the Army. We often remember him for his inspired leadership during World War II, but he also provided the foresight and vision that radically reshaped the Army. In leading the Army through a period of unprecedented change, he navigated a path through a complex and uncertain environment. During this time, he reinforced the values of the organization, which he felt cut to the core of the endeavor. Marshall's vision for the Army emphasized the values of efficiency, responsiveness, teamwork, initiative, and morale. He created a culture that rewarded the values that were critical to shifting from a peacetime, costabulary force to a global warfighting force. A considerable part of his legacy is the long list of famous leaders that followed in his footsteps. Eisenhower, Taylor, Collins, Arnold, Ridgway, and others. Lead well this week.
