Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is twofold. Firstly, the authors discuss a range of personal, organizational, and environmental drivers underpinning conditions leading to leaders' choices of transactional, transformational, and ambidextrous leadership styles. A better understanding of these drivers and conditions may aid senior leaders with achieving the right balance between exploitation of existing lessons and exploration of new lessons. Secondly, they present the mechanisms through which senior leaders can achieve relevant lessons learned objectives associated with each of these leadership styles. The authors base their findings on interviews with the Chief of Defence Force and 10 other senior leaders in the Australian Defence Organisation.
