  abstract = {The military presents a specific environment for leadership study due to its extreme conditions. It remains unclear which character strengths are conducive to leadership efficacy in this context, especially as perceived by an officer’s followers. The previous research has mainly used quantitative approach, while other methods were underused. This study deals with the question of what character traits of an officer are most valued by their subordinates. Participants (N = 40) are from active-duty personnel of the 44th Light Motorized Battalion of the Land Forces of the Army of the Czech Republic. Data were gathered using three open-ended questions on an officer’s character. It was found that soldiers most frequently report Justice, Honesty, Decisiveness, Humanity, Dependability, Purposefulness, and Willingness with regard to an officer’s character strengths. These results imply traits that might compose the character-based leadership in military setting.},
