  •  The purpose of this study is to investigate, analyze and detail key leadership strategies and knowledge that retired officers in Taiwan have learned from their military service, and then to assess the transferability of these strategies and knowledge into business world.
     The qualitative method, the grounded theory, and interviewing were adopted as research methods in this study. After logical and scientific research process, the effective model of leadership transition we concluded recommend three constructs military retirees need to focus on during transition. Firstly, they need to considerably compare characteristics of leadership they have with needs of business world. Secondly, people relationship is critical in leading. Thirdly, to well lead organizational process is the other part we cannot neglect.
    Actually, knowledge and skills of leadership they learned from military such as responsible, follow-me spirit, clear target are useful. But they also need to be careful about something different in business world such as professional respecting, being energetic and got involved, higher EQ behaviors. And they should also put their focus on jargon avoidance, communication, educating others, and, most importantly, personal attitude.
