Sapere aude : toward a CANSOF officer professional development model / Major R.D. Schmidt.: D4-10/18-2016E-PDF
"Our latest monograph, the eighteenth in the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) Professional Development Centre (PDC) series, is one of exceptional importance. It deals with professional development (PD), which entails education, training, experience and self-development. For special operations forces, PD represents its lifeblood. After all, investing in the development of individuals, which are the strength of any SOF organization, is paramount for long-term success. In essence, it is the ability of SOF personnel to operate in ambiguous and chaotic environments, make sense of what is occurring, and make timely, effective decisions that is the hallmark of SOF credibility. As such, Sapere Aude: Toward a CANSOF Officer Professional Development Model provides an interesting perspective on the requirement for a specific PD model for CANSOF officers. It investigates the nature of SOF, allied officer PD models, and boldly lays out a framework for CANSOF officer PD and management"--Foreward, p. vii.
