Status Updates From Hope Is Not a Method: What ...

General Sullivan comments in this book that the lieutenants of 1995 would be the Generals of 2020. Well, this is 2020, and I was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1990, so I guess if things had worked out for me, I'd be a senior O-10 right now. But, as we all know, I quit in 1994, having just become a new O-3. Kudos to the book on the succession planning ideas. This is a great and worthy book.

Great discussion of what strategy is and is not.

I am enjoying General Sullivan and Colonel Harper's book very much so far and have found it quite captivating despite that it was published 24 years ago. I have found a note about a "Team of Teams" in the table of contents, which reminds me of General Stanley McChrystal's, US Army (Retired), book of that title. I'm on a leadership and military lessons for everyone theme right now.
