Best Practices: Mission Command Acting in the absence of orders or direct guidance from senior leadership is a tough philosophy to instill in a culture that incorporates a hierarchical rank structure, such as the U.S. military and intelligence community (IC). Both the military and government civilian employment systems utilize pay and rank bands that directly subordinate the “doers” to the “deciders”. However, as our national culture has grown and matured, the idea of empowering subordinates to undertake disciplined initiative to achieve strategic goals has proven successful time and time again; most notably by a new generation of military commanders such as in the burgeoning technology sector, as exemplified by companies such as Google,
