To Be or To Do: Col John Boyd's Words of Wisdom:
Submitted by Fred on Sat, 05/15/2010 - 9:33am.“Tiger, one day you will come to a fork in the road,” he said. “And you’re going to have to make a decision about which direction you want to go.” He raised his hand and pointed. “If you go that way you can be somebody. You will have to make compromises and you will have to turn your back on your friends. But you will be a member of the club and you will get promoted and you will get good assignments.”
Then Boyd raised his other hand and pointed another direction.
Great Quote from Tom Peters On Leadership and Decision Making
Submitted by Fred on Sat, 05/08/2010 - 10:44am.“Every decision about hiring, firing, supervision, training, systems development is to be designed for and brought immediately and directly to bear on the "production" of Moments Of Truth.”
Great quote from Tom Peters that speaks the importance of leadership and to the fact that leadership is not only an event driven attribute but a day to day attribute, that effects the outcomes of all those in an organization. How they prepare for, ready themselves and respond to the problems encountered. ~Fred

Today's Training and Education (Development) Revolution: The Future is Now! by Donald E. Vandergriff
Submitted by Fred on Thu, 04/22/2010 - 6:48pm.The challenge the army faces today is not one of over-thinking situations; rather, it is the failure to think clearly in situations that require sound judgment at junior levels, and leadership’s hesitation to believe that juniors can or will think clearly. soldiers and junior leaders who are trained or conditioned to “look” at the situation—i.e., to assess, exercise judgment and make decisions—are more decisive, deliberate and correct in their actions. this is particularly important in the complex environment of full-spectrum operations.
Leadership By Wandering Around!
