Abstract

Mindful Leadership is the process leadership style that arises when an organization is teaming up to put out an actual or metaphorical fire. Moreover, Auftragstaktik [AT] or mission command is a military strategy that enables a rigid command structure to respond flexibly and in a timely way to unexpected encounters by teams on mission. A theoretical model of AT was proposed and validated. The model hinges on a proposed Mindful Leadership higher-order construct (HOC). The hierarchical component modeling (HCM) technique based on extant solid theories of organizational sense-making and the rich literature on shared leadership was relied on to develop the Mindful Leadership HOC. It is conceptualized as a third order HOC. Mindful Leadership is essential in the conduct of any team navigating an environment where the factors impacting successful performance are constantly changing in a mostly uncontrolled manner (initially), as in the case of fighting a fire. No two fires are the same. Not only do fires vary, but the nature of fighting a fire in the wild requires a different strategy from fighting a structural fire in the city. However, the aim of any firefighting team is the same—to put out the fire and prevent it from restarting. We examined and compared the performance of the theoretical PLS-SEM model of AT in two firefighting organizations. The SmartPLS 4 software was used in the analysis.
