    MICHAEL K. J LIEUTENANT-GENERAL (RETIRED) MICHAEL K. JEFFERY The 1990s proved to be a turbulent period for the Canadian Forces (CF). The early years of the new millennium were equally as challenging, as the CF EFFERY was engaged in operations in Afghanistan and around the globe. What was clear was that the contemporary security environment had changed. As such, there was a requirement for the CF to transform to meet the new operating environment. I NSIDE INSIDE In 2005, the Minister of National Defence provided the incoming Chief of the Defence Staff, General Rick Hillier, with the resources and opportunity to CANADIAN FORCES undertake a CF Transformation. Given his firm belief that the CF needed to C ANADIAN FORCES change, and by nature a risk taker, General Hillier embraced the opportunity. TRANSFORMATION: This book describes the initial years of the formal CF Transformation that was led by General Hillier. It is a superb case study of a seminal point in CF history. INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE Written by former Chief of the Land Staff, Lieutenant-General Michael Jeffery, who himself implemented a strategy of change for the Canadian army and who witnessed first-hand the process of CF Transformation, it captures both the considerable success, but also the difficulties of the process.

  • The D E F ENCE TEAM
    EDIT DRDC-RDDC-2015-P120 Canada’s defence establishment is a unique organization, comprising two distinct E MAY 2015 D BY: institutions: the civilian-led Department of National Defence (DND), headed by the Deputy Minister of National Defence, and the military-led Canadian Armed Forces GOLDENBER (CAF), headed by the Chief of the Defence Staff. In practice, however, civilian and military personnel – collectively referred to as the Defence Team – work side by side in a variety of contexts, including on bases, on operations, in military academic settings, and at National Defence Headquarters. G , FEBBRARO & These highly integrated workforces allow Canada’s defence establishment to draw on the complementary expertise of military and civilian personnel. Nonetheless, some fundamental differences exist between the military and civilian institutions, most notably separate personnel management systems and distinct cultures that reflect the D different histories, values, roles and policies of Defence civilians and CAF members. EAN Understanding the unique benefits and challenges associated with this integrated workforce is therefore critical to optimal military-civilian personnel collaboration. THE This volume presents conceptual, empirical and historical analyses of the key contextual, organizational and interpersonal factors that influence collaboration between civilian and military personnel in DND and the CAF. The volume will appeal to a diverse audience, including Defence Team personnel, senior leaders in DND and the CAF, human resource professionals, military managers of civilian D personnel and civilian managers of military personnel, and a more general audience interested in workgroup and organizational diversity. The volume furthers our E understanding of military-civilian partnerships and will contribute to the discourse F on the evolution of the Defence Team within Canada.
