Key Leader Engagement is a key part of Counterinsurgency doctrine as developed by Western powers such as the US and UK.
- Building relationships to the point of effective engagement and influence usually takes time. Understanding cultural context, cognitive orientation patterns, and communication methods is essential to any CS approach. For personal relationships, it may also require and understanding of their cultural/social background, perspectives, capabilities, strengths, weaknesses, authorities, spheres of influence, and motivators. KLE is not about engaging key leaders when a crisis arises, it is about building relationships over time with enough strength and depth, so that they can then support our interests during times of crisis.
