Based on grounded theory, this research is intended to present a model for the development and improvement of the managers and commanders of Sepah according to the words of the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution to fulfill his expectancies. The content of more than 1000 texts, including his speeches, letters, commands and interviews during 1368-1389 were studied. These texts were coded according to grounded theory in three ways: open, axial and selective. As a result, 1526 codes, 134 concepts and 23 categories were discovered. Research questions were answered in the 'result' chapter. The acquired model was compared with the common model introduced in the 'review of literature'. The final result indicated that the development and improvement of the managers and commanders of Sepah, while sharing points with common models, are basically different.
