I had a great talk with LGen ( Retired) Day where we covered a lot of aspects of institutional leadership. He discussed his thoughts on 'Conscious Leadership' at the institutional level, on capability development and the perils of 'building a better yesterday'. Among many topics, we discussed the idea of persistent organizational evolution driven by institutional leaders, that creates a forward looking organization vice one mired in the status quo. There are a few 'war' stories to keep it real! It was the type of conversation that keeps me thinking about this subject and inspiring me to seek out some of these ( new to me ) concepts.
