임진왜란 중 전장 리더십 사례 연구 -『징비록』에 나타난 장수의 행동을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This dissertation aims at analyzing the facets of leadership as shown by the leaders and generals during Japan's invasion of Chosun Dynasty in 1592 by examining Preemptive Punishment Record (Jing Bi Lok), written by Sung Ryong Ryu. The analysis divides the cases of battlefield leadership into two kinds: the effective and ineffective ones. An overall analysis has shown that effective battlefield leadership was ensued by "Crisis Management and Problem Solving" and "Risk Taking" abilities. Conversely, ineffective battlefield leadership was shown to have emerged from the lack of “Crisis Management and Problem Solving Skills" and failure of "Upholding Military Order."Under the "Risk Taking" criteria, the effective type rendered more than twice better performance in comparison to the countertype. Under the "Educating Professional Military Personnels" and "Upholding Military Order" criteria, the ineffective leadership style underperformed up to 2~3 times. The performance comparison confirms the conjecture that the criteria listed in the analysis greatly affected the game of the war during Japan's invasion of Chosun Dynasty in 1592. Ten lessons have been derived as a conclusion to the analysis on effective battlefield leadership based on the case investigations, followed by a suggestion to further develop battlefield leaderships in the future.
