Good Staffs Matter

This one thought is worth the read:

All the military education and experience in the world won't help you if your readiness reporting is fake, your command culture squashes contrary ideas, and your principal lacks humility.

A story as long as war [1]

Replace military with your organization: sailing, education, corporations etc I think this is a universal truth.

This concept should be include in MBA classes.

This most is more of a rst learning post on how to give attribution on a image. I chose this because it is not really my morning list, but still, I can appreciate the irony that that it could actually be my daily morning list and routine.
