As usual a lot of great reads. (Half way through the stack, yikes!) but having read the Connecting File post yesterday when it was published one can’t recommend it enough. Too much to unpack here for everyone, but everyone should read it. Then they should thank General Alford for showing the way. Again too much to say about General Alford’s leadership abilities and what a stark contrast in comparison to the current managerial class attempting (very badly) to “manage” the US Marine Corps. It won’t end well, if major changes are not made. The Connecting File post in which Gunner Cargile recounts the ways that true “leadership” made a difference and turned a lousy battalion into a great one. While we champion the notion of team work it points out that one individual can make an enormous difference and leadership matters. Thanks again for the Milstack, Saturday morning isn’t being wasted!
