"Reinventing" the Command: General Janet Wolfenbarger's Values-Based Leadership Drives Change at the United States Air Force Case Solution

This is just an excerpt. This case is about LEADERSHIP & MANAGING PEOPLE

PUBLICATION DATE: May 12, 2016

Due to proposed long-lasting break in the United States Department of Defense (DOD) spending plan, the DOD focused on enhancing performances, minimizing above, and removing redundancies within its numerous commands. Appropriately, the Commander of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), the assistance command responsible for gearing up the Air Force to keep it all set for war, put together a little group, led by AFMC's Vice Commander, Lieutenant General Janet Wolfenbarger, to analyze their alternatives. Her group suggested to rearrange the order to line up with the Secretary of Defense's performance required. Nevertheless, Wolfenbarger prepared for resistance to the strategy given that it required the removal of 7 of twelve AFMC centers-a relocation that would need assistance from the AFMC management, the Air Force, the DOD and Congress. Wolfenbarger understood she would have to make use of her life time of military management expertise to achieve her objective of effectively restructuring AFMC. This case shows how a leader's life experiences form their concepts and worths and how those expert and individual worths can affect a management and management obstacle. Case Number 2065.0
