The document presents a framework for effective transitional leadership in defense and aerospace. It discusses conducting surveys and interviews with military personnel who have transitioned to project management roles in defense contracting. The results showed that experience leading large programs and education in relevant fields like business or engineering correlated with effectiveness in project management. However, some non-acquisition personnel interviewed were not found to be suitable despite qualifications. The proposed framework includes screening candidates based on leadership experience, budget responsibility, and education before further evaluating skills tied to key project management roles.
