To be able to put strategic vision, concepts, and plans into reality, strategic
leaders must employ reliable feedback systems to monitor progress and adherence
to values and ethics. They have to find ways to assess many environmental
elements to determine the successfulness of policies, operations, or a transformational
vision. Like leaders at other levels, they must assess themselves; their
leadership style, strengths, and weaknesses; and their fields of excellence.
Other assessment efforts involve understanding the will and opinions of the
American people, expressed partly through law, policy, their leaders, and the media.

To gain a complete picture, strategic leaders cast a wide net to assess their
own organizations. They develop performance indicators to signal how well they
are communicating to all levels of command and how well established systems and
processes are balancing the imperatives of doctrine, organization, training,
materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities. Assessment
starts early in each operation and continues through successful conclusion.
They may include monitoring such diverse areas as resource use, development of
subordinates, efficiency, effects of stress and fatigue, morale, ethical considerations,
and mission accomplishment.
