Once on the page click view the executive summary. It's a two page read but very interesting. I am sure it is relevant to all services.
There are many posts about leadership here on RP. Most are about leadership traits like empathy and resilience. What about candor? Candor is mentioned only about three times in ADRP 6-22 Army Leadership. It is tucked up under the Army Value Personal Courage.
Are you a candid leader? Do you speak up? Are you frank, honest and sincere?

I agree there is some duplicity in the Armed Forces. I'm just not sure how it actually effects our mission. Most liars get found out one way or another but there is a culture that allows certain behaviors to be ignored as long as it doesn't embarrass the unit or chain of command. Those actions are what allows great leaders to be mismanaged and abused by senior leaders.
