Summary

"Canada's military, known as the Canadian Forces (CF), is an organization that evolved from a British colonial militia. The Military Police Branch (MPB), formed in 1967, is a relatively recent addition to the CF. Recent enhancements to the Military Police recruitment process have resulted in a new dynamic at the grassroots level of the MPB reflective of changing generational perceptions and expectations. High-performing organizations must successfully adapt to change when looking to the future. This inquiry examines how the MPB can successfully adapt its leadership style to the changing needs of emerging recruits. It explores how grassroots level communities of practice (CoP) could enhance the job performance and/or satisfaction of junior MP members within the Canadian Formation Military Police Section - Atlantic. Conclusions revealed that CoP may provide such an opportunity within this group by (a) improving communication, (b) empowering members, and (c) enhancing strategic alignment."--Abstract.
