Abstract

Modern society is in constant transformation, within a complex and uncertain environment. The Brazilian Army (EB), aware of future challenges, developed the Operational Concept of the Brazilian Army (COEB) – Convergence Operations 2040 (EB20-MF-07.101), focused on joint, combined, and interagency operations. Quality leadership is essential for the EB to face these challenges. Strategic leaders must be high-level thinkers, combatants, knowledgeable in strategy and politics, and have an understanding of human, physical, and informational dimensions, capable of anticipating the institution's future role. This article investigates the main competencies of strategic leaders in the context of COEB 2040, consulting experienced military authorities. These consultations helped identify essential competencies for future military leaders to respond decisively to emerging strategic challenges.
