The Army Has Lost The Art Of Leadership

I read the article with a lot of salt. The author does injustice by making blanket statements and using his observations and opinions to support his thesis.

I don’t believe that Art of Leadership was lost because I have seen it few and far between. The judgements against the soldiers who can’t run, the NCOs who do not have a complete meltdown concerning the slightest infraction and the Officers that apparently have read enough Article 15s this month has done a disservice to the military service.
I’ve known some fast trackers that made SGT in less than 3 years mainly because their big mouths and their run times. A question I heard from a few NCOs that I regarded as the NCO I wanted to be like was “How many of your soldiers did you take with you?”
I can say most of my soldiers made it to SGT, most made their ETS date, none were chaptered for PT failure.

Lost implies ever had... The Army is just people, just like any other organization. Any group of people will always be subject to human failings, weaknesses, biases, etc... The ONLY way to preclude that is to eliminate humans. Not really feasible.
