Malaysian Military Leadership: History, Values and Principles

Abstract

The military is one of the world's oldest organisations, with its own leadership structure that has influenced other social organisation leadership patterns and styles. This article examines military leadership in terms of history, values, and principles that shape charismatic leadership. The data was gathered and analysed using library research, documentation research, and observations. In general, there are distinct characteristics in military leadership in various countries, including Malaysia. Military leadership in Malaysia has had a positive impact on the country's leadership as a result of military and civil service relations and the implementation of military operation other than war, which has contributed to the success of the Malaysian government's administration.
