Heard a great presentation this week at the Technology Executives Network from Major Matt Tracy, USMC, a decorated officer with some recent combat experience, notably in Haditha. One of his main points had to do with the OODA Loop popularized by fighter pilot (Col) John Boyd in the 80's.
Tracy is by current MOS (profession in civilian-speak) a recruiter, but his premise was that this kind of fast, ultra-dynamic, guerilla-warfare mindset is highly valuable in the corporate marketplace as well. I also appreciated his emphasis on character in both worlds, which you would expect from an officer in the corps of course.
And because of that unfortunate paucity, (have you noticed?) people are sometimes put in management positions who have more judgment than leadership. Let's avoid that when we can.
