A Better Peace: The War Room PodcastAI IN STRATEGIC PLANNING: THE FUTURE OF STRATEGY?In a previous episode, we highlighted the Annual Army War College Strategy Competition. This week, host Tom Galvin speaks with a team from the Carlisle Scholars Program that used the competition as the opportunity to experiment with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for strategy formulation. Josh Aldred, Claudio Blardone, Robby Haugh, and Adam Schultz share their expectations and what actually happened and take-aways. Ultimately, the results underscored AI's potential to improve strategic planning, while also highlighting the continued importance of human oversight and ongoing training.2025-05-1336 min

But there is more to it as the usage of the information is equally important. In this episode I talk about how to put these two ideas together -- levels of knowledge with their function.2022-07-2623 min

What must we do once we decide to get people to come to the table? The short answer, as I reveal here, is rooted in classic pragmatism. Classic pragmatism, which is geared toward practical solutions to practical problems, and eschews theoretical or ideological approaches. But this is not easy to do, and it requires that we stop treating those we disagree with as enemies.2021-06-0119 minReflections on ManagementS6E07 - Ideal Engagements Among Collectives and Individuals (The Social Contract, Part 7)I complete the list of principles for re-negotiating the Social Contract and setting the stage for what constitutes the idea conversation for solving a complex social issue.

But we have to first change the way we react to things that we strongly disagree with. That begins with finding a language that sustains our emotional commitment to what we believe, but opens the door to shared interests with those we otherwise disagree with. I will explore one part of this common language associated with the ideal collective and how it benefits its members -- through principles of justice, equality, and fairness.2021-04-2719 min

I discuss two types of brain drain that organizations may experience when its experts walk out the door (whether departure or retirement) with their knowledge and propose a 'grand narrative' approach to establishing a culture and climate favorable to knowledge retention.2020-12-0119 minReflections on ManagementS5E08 - How Mandatory Training Can Feel Less MandatoryMandatory training serves important purposes but can be painful and ineffective in execution. Are there ways to do it better? Here I run down some of the common failings in the development of training materials for mandatory requirements, often developed for online delivery, and offer recommendations to better align these materials with the overall purposes set by leaders.2020-11-2415 minReflections on ManagementS5E07 - Responsible Leadership: More Than Being a Responsible Leader?In this episode, I dive further into the ideas of "responsibilities" of leader. I argue here that a leader's responsibilities are more than accomplishing missions and caring for members -- it is that the organization itself acts responsibly. For a professional organization, this meaning is clear -- that members naturally act professionally even in the case of extreme duress (e.g., war in the military, rioting or extreme strife in law enforcement, extremes in pandemic response for medicine). Individual professionals may act properly under such conditions, but instilling this in the culture of a whole organization takes leadership -- especially...2020-11-0318 minReflections on ManagementS5E06 - When an Activity Counters its Original Purpose (A Story from a Science Fair)Tells a vignette about how a wonderfully crafted, innovative display wound up earning a last place trophy for not following the rubric. Rules may be rules, but can they sometimes get in the way of the purpose for the event?2020-10-2717 minReflections on ManagementS5E05 - Why Can't We Just Stop Using MacGregor's Theory X?This is a follow-on to an episode on Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Y, reflecting two different set of assumptions that managers operate with when running an organization. I recount the theories here and the assertion that Theory Y -- where managers assume workers are trustworthy and wish to be active participants in organizational success -- is preferred. But why then do managers tend to default to Theory X assumptions -- is it learned behaviors or is it innate, part of so-called "human nature"? What do we do about it?2020-10-0618 minReflections on ManagementS5E04 - If a Change Effort Fails, Was it Necessarily a Communication Failure?Sometimes change efforts success despite poor communication, or great communication doesn't lead to successful change. Why is that? I argue that the communications campaign operates one "phase" ahead of the change effort, so the levels of success in both are independent and not correlated to one another.2020-09-2916 minReflections on ManagementS5E03 - Could a New Co-Ed Sport Promote Gender Equality?I argue that we need new co-ed sports designed to emphasize capabilities that men and women share equally while also being fun to watch. I discuss the origins and social factors that brought about a number of existing team sports, many designed by men for masculine purposes. I believe these sports contribute to notions that women's sports are inferior to men's, which carries over to gender stratification in the workplace.2020-09-2218 minReflections on ManagementS5E02 - Is Anti-Professionalism on the Rise?A recent Talking About Organizations episode addressed contemporary challenges facing professions due to expanses of technology, growing distrust toward professional workers in some areas, and media coverage; all of which are challenging the autonomy and status of professionals and their work. Anti-professionalism is essentially the breakdown of the profession due to internal and external pressures. I argue in this episode that the way to strengthen professionalism is to re-kindle the sense of honor in serving in a profession -- how to do that is difficult, because one has to agree on what is meant by "honor."2020-09-0119 minReflections on ManagementS5E01 - Moving Educational Content from Resident to Distance Settings (Without Doing 10X the Work?)The process of migrating one's teaching from resident to remote has been a popular topic due to the pandemic. But what about the content? If you are using stuff off the shelf, not such a big deal. But if you are the creator of a course designed for a specific professional purpose, then it becomes a massive undertaking. I had to do this for multiple courses this year, crossing both resident-distance and synchronous-asynchronous boundaries. I learned some tough lessons which I will share with you in this episode.2020-08-2515 min

Find me - @beastmastermac2020-07-1449 minReflections on ManagementS4E08 - When an External Consultant is Too Close to the LeaderSometimes, leaders decide to bring in external consultants with whom they have worked with before or they have prior professional relationships with. Sometimes that works out great for the organization -- the consultant knows what the 'boss' wants and is uniquely positioned to deliver, helping the leader foster change. But in the two cases I discuss in this episode, the opposite happened. Each consultant leveraged their relationship with the leader in the wrong way. What happened and what did I learn from it?2020-04-2817 minReflections on ManagementS4E07 - Entering into the Middle of the Story: Inheriting a Change EffortA common thread I have found in popular change management literature is how to initiate change. Find the problem. Build the sense of urgency. Get things started! This is because change really is hard to start. But the fact is, many of us will not necessarily be starting change efforts ourselves. We may first walk into a new job and be handed responsibilities over change already occurring in the organization, sometimes as a working group member, sometimes as a project lead. We can’t always count on having a good continuity book or record of the change effort thus far. So...2020-04-0716 minReflections on ManagementS4E06 - Firing the Coach Instead of the Players (and Other Counternarratives Against Leaders)There’s an old saying that the higher you climb the flagpole (or the corporate ladder) the more your butt shows. It’s a none-too-polite way of saying that being a senior leader or top executive means that you are magnet for criticism. I previously talked about counternarratives against organizations, but I argue this is a multi-level construct, thus there are also counternarratives against leaders which feed into an opponent's or competitor's strategies for attacking organizations.2020-03-3117 minReflections on ManagementS4E05 - Is There a Difference Between Continuity and Complacency?We all want to be ‘change agents,’ don’t we? The competitive pressures that many of us feel can cause us to want to make a mark, make a difference, be bold. In contrast, we are warned about the changes going around us – in societies and industries, and technologies- and that not getting on board means we are complacent, falling behind the times, losing our competitive advantage. But there’s a good side to continuity, is there not? Are not reliability and predictability important qualities in organizations?2020-03-1015 minReflections on ManagementS4E04 - Are There Ways to Assess Effective Collaboration?From work to education, much of what we do is measured in individual achievement and assessment of individual outcomes. Job performance, grade-point averages, final examinations, so many things are individually based. For some time now, collaboration has become much more important and group-based work the norm. But we really haven’t figured out how to assess group effort apart from the sum of individual efforts. In my experience, group assessments run up against some very strong barriers. Can we overcome them? Perhaps one experience from my educational background provides a baby step forward.2020-03-0316 minReflections on ManagementS4E03 - When a Leader Falls From Grace, Should That Negate Their Positive Contributions?Many of us have worked around (occasionally for) leaders who fall from grace, either due to personal misconduct, embarrassing the organization, or something else above and beyond mere poor performance. The leader becomes a pariah. Sometimes that fallen leader did things that made a lasting positive difference in the organization, and the accomplishments may be worth retaining and retelling. Unfortunately because of the leader's sullied reputation, the accomplishments may be discounted, ignored, or even repudiated. Is the appropriate? Are there times when we should separate the person from their deeds?2020-02-2512 minReflections on ManagementS4E02 - When Unresolvable Tensions Exist, How Can Leaders Maintain Unity?How often have you been in organizations that placed high value on conceptions of unity? That everyone needed to 'row together' like a crew team or exercise 'unity of effort' like a military organization? And then, how often does it seem like the organization is utterly incapable of putting unity into action -- that there are persistent or recurring problems that appear causing the organization to fracture and remain fractured in some way? In this episode, I use theoretical works on paradox and dialectic change to provide suggestions for leaders.2020-02-0419 minReflections on ManagementS4E01 - Should Change Agents Celebrate Success and Worry About Failure?This podcasts's 4th season begins with a closer look at the idea that organizations should celebrate success when undergoing change. While there is utility in sharing good news stories, should change agents go along with the celebration or curb their enthusiasm? After all, there's the possibility of the organization also punishing failure. Is the best reaction no reaction at all?2020-01-3014 min

In an organizational sense, counternarratives represent offensive tactics, ways to refute another actor’s narrative, or in turn, the narratives used by opponents to attack or discredit the organization. The obvious implication is that organizations defend themselves in some way from these counternarratives. But notions of defense is not well represented in the literature, so there’s some room for asking what does ‘defense’ means in a communication sense? How do organizations ‘defend’ themselves strategically?Communicating on the defense is not being de...2019-12-0617 minReflections on ManagementS3E09 - The Plausibility Test for Measuring Success and Failure in Organizational ChangeDid a change effort succeed or fail? Most change efforts never achieve their original goals, but is that really “failure”? Opponents of the effort certainly like to think so, and claims of failure are really easy to make, even in instances where the change demonstrably succeeded. Empty claims of success don’t always help, either, and they rarely quiet the critics. So, if determining true success or failure is important, and it certainly seems to be, then how do we measure it? Or is ‘measuring’ even the right idea?Earlier in this podcast, I discussed some concepts from my experie...2019-12-0217 minReflections on ManagementS3E08 - On an Organization’s Commitment to Its Members’ FamiliesThe commitment of members to their organization and organizational commitment to its members is an important on-going discussion that I have covered both in this program and in the main Talking About Organizations Podcast. In this episode, I want to further discussion about the member’s side of things – because traditionally the construct is about the member as a single individual, when in practice we may be talking about something more – like the member’s family. This has become a significant economic issue, as family considerations (from health care to parental leave) has an impact.But this is about fa...2019-11-1717 minReflections on ManagementS3E07 - Warning Signs and Why We Ignore Them: The Case of Smartphone OveruseWarning! Overusing smartphones can be detrimental to your health! We might hear warnings like this, and perhaps even believe them to be true. Perhaps the claims are supported with solid scientific evidence on things like overdependence and addictive behaviors, sleep deprivation, information overload, and severe stress and anxiety. And yet, we pay them no heed, and continue to overuse personal technologies in unhealthy ways. Why? I think part of the reason is because we aren’t necessarily equipped to ask the right questions, and we simply allow ourselves to succumb to the attractive idea that smartphone technologies will simplify our li...2019-11-1717 minReflections on ManagementS3E06 - Can One Really Plan Culture Change?Change is complex and difficult, no matter the context. Although sometimes they may be overly simplistic, change management tools are plentiful and can help someone kick-start the process of making change happen. Culture change, however, is doubly hard. The simple approach has been to impose ‘strong’ cultures. But several episodes of the main Talking About Organizations Podcast have shown the several downsides of trying the strong culture approach, including resentment and rebellion. Is there another way?The short answer is ‘yes,’ but that is indeed a short answer. The fact is culture change is not something that is often do...2019-11-0318 minReflections on ManagementS3E05 - On Converting Volunteer Roles into Permanent PositionsSome organizations encourage or rely upon volunteers to supplement its mission or activities. Occasionally, the organization finds that the voluntary efforts are so essential to its purpose that it decides to create a new permanent position to perform it, effectively in-sourcing the role. On the good side, this demonstrates a tacit acknowledgement that the volunteer work is important and appreciated. But it is not always easy or smooth, and could actually create problems where they did not exist. In this episode, I explore two examples from my experiences, with both resulting in changed relationships among the organization, the permanent hire...2019-10-2218 minReflections on ManagementS3E04 - On Asking the BIG QuestionsWhen one embarks on a career as a professional or a scholar, it is commonly spurred by a desire to make a significant contribution to society, through personal service (such as medicine or law) or helping solve a vexing problem. We want to ‘make a difference,’ ‘give back,’ and ‘do something about X or Y.’ But somewhere along the way, perhaps beginning with one’s dissertation or one’s socialization into the field, we narrow the questions down to what is deemed feasible or empirically testable. And that socialization process channels our work from then on, dissuading us from getting back to answerin...2019-10-1719 minReflections on ManagementS3E03 - How a Loser Turned into a WinnerBranding and brand equity is a competitive sport. No matter what type of organization, public or private, maintaining high brand equity is seen as important. Brand equity is defined in David Aaker’s book Managing Brand Equity as having five components – brand loyalty, name awareness, perceived quality, brand associations in addition to perceived quality, other proprietary brand assets such as patents, trademarks, etc. Getting those components to show high value — meaning that customers and stakeholders think very highly of the brand — is big for an organization’s competitiveness, maybe even its survival. Low brand equity, while not always fatal, is a definite...2019-10-0717 minReflections on ManagementS3E02 - On CounternarrativesLast season, I talked about how narrative, as a construct, can represent either the full story of an organization or an intervention into it. But unfortunately, the organization’s own narrative is not the only version of the story. In a competitive world, other actors use counternarratives against the organization – alternative stories that are often adversarial, intended to harm the organization’s reputation or tarnish its images. Popular communication literature plays this image up… a lot. But is it accurate? Are all counternarrative adversarial, or used only by our enemies?Counternarratives are narratives that exist primarily to “refute other narr...2019-09-3018 minReflections on ManagementS3E01 - Planned Change and the 'Story of the Four Commanders'There is more than one way to accomplish a goal -- indeed, Katz and Kahn gave this concept a name – equifinality. But some organizations find themselves routinely switching change strategies, especially those that turn over leadership routinely. They enter thinking there is a ‘right’ or ‘better’ way to do this, but does such a thing really exist?In this episode, I apply a book chapter by Robert Chin and Kenneth Benne to show that all strategies have strengths and vulnerabilities. The moral of the 'Story of the Four Commanders' is to mitigate the vulnerabilities.2019-09-1619 minReflections on ManagementS2E10 - Weather and the Desirability of Work LocationWhenever a job opportunity opens at a distant location, a factor that may be taken into consideration is the climate. Not just the organizational climate on the job, but the climate outside. Maybe it isn't so much of a concern for the potential employee, but it sure can be for the family -- like when the opportunity is in Minnesota or Alaska but the spouse hails from Louisiana or Arizona, there could be misery at home! But liking or disliking the prevailing weather is just part of the story. What about prevalence of bad weather events or other natural disaster...2019-04-2117 minReflections on ManagementS2E09 - How to Stop Doing SomethingWhen we discuss change and change management, the emphasis tends to be placed on ‘starting’ something or ‘creating’ something. But in my experience, the creation of something often must accompany the ‘destruction’ of something else – like the breaking of a bad habit. Also, ‘terminating’ a change effort is rarely discussed, as though it were unimportant – ‘Oh, don’t worry about how this ends, let’s just get started’. But stopping something is an important part of change, is it not? And is it just like starting something?This tendency to ignore the need for stopping -- whether it means breaking a bad habit o...2019-04-1516 minReflections on ManagementS2E08 - Profanity with a Purpose?If you are like me, you don't like to hear profanity, and find it difficult hearing conversations where curse words are flowing from people's mouths like water. Cursing, swearing, cussing, whatever it is called -- it has a long history, and for some people it is a natural part of their language while others reserve it for very rare and specific occasions. I have noted over the course of my work life that the purpose, frequency, and intensity of cursing has evolved. On the one hand, the organizations in which I served cleaned up their language over time because of t...2019-04-0719 minReflections on ManagementS2E07 - On Bridging Political DivisionWhile some may view the current state of political division in many parts of the world as new and disturbing, it merely follows a trend that has spanned decades. That doesn’t make it OK, it merely suggests that the deepening divide between those on the “left” and “right” will grow. Organizations risk becoming intellectually homogeneous, and there are studies showing that discrimination on the basis of political ideology is trending up. If so, it could have a significant impact on an organization’s ability to maintain diversity of views and perspectives to remain innovative and competitive.One must first a...2019-04-0119 minReflections on ManagementS2E06 - Perils of Pursuing EfficiencyIn a sidecast for the main Talking About Organizations Podcast, I presented several different meanings of ‘efficiency’ and how the pursuit of each creates different behaviors in organizations – including how organizations measure their own performance, and how an organization’s preferred model of efficiency may lead to inefficient behaviors of a different form. But this theoretical argument probably didn't scratch everyone's itch -- it is one thing to complain about ideas of efficiency, what does one do about it? How can one pursue efficiency of organizational performance into practice?In this episode, I concentrate on a specific conundrum facing p...2019-03-1119 minReflections on ManagementS2E05 - The Price of LeadershipTaking on leadership positions often involves the acceptance of personal risk. There is no finer example of this than the opening vignette to this episode where I found myself reading through an exhibit depicting a line of national leaders over a twenty-year period who were murdered decades later when the nation was conquered by another. The naval tradition of "the Captain always goes down the ship" is another example.Contrast this with other situations in which the leader is essentially protected from harm, either because of organizational culture or presiding checks and balances that constrain leaders' actions. Not...2019-03-0420 minReflections on ManagementS2E04 - On Organizational NarrativesA prominent scholar and practitioner in strategic communication said to a conference of military communication specialists, "The enemy is fast, flexible, and more attuned to the cultures where they operate. We talk Narrative, but Narrative is where they beat us." While the 'we' and 'they' in this context were adversaries in the war of ideas regarding violent extremism, they could have been any organizations in a competitive situation. Some organizations are simply better at telling their stories and aligning words and actions better than others.My view, drawn from experience, is that organizations lose when their attempts at 'narrative' are...2019-02-2617 minReflections on ManagementS2E03 - The First Viral MessageI believe sometimes we are too quick to jump on bandwagons and assume that something changing in society is going to move forward unabated, when in my experience societal change often spurs countering movements (that is, once retrenchment of the status quo ceases to have meaning). A recent example (about eight years old at the time of this recording) was the Arab Spring, which demonstrated the potential power of social media to bring people together, have their voices heard, and make change happen... very quickly.Fast forward to today, and social media is now viewed with a lot...2019-02-1817 minReflections on ManagementS2E02 - How to Write a Vision StatementOh, the ‘Vision’ thing! Consultants and leaders talk a lot about the value and importance of vision to foster change. According to popular change management literature, good vision statements must be simple, inspiring, awesome. And yet there are really bad vision statements out there that are fodder for YouTube videos and Dilbert comic strips. So we know what wrong looks like, but have you ever actually tried to write a good one? Where do you actually start?Surprisingly, perhaps, I've seen some good ones that were effective and a few that qualified as great -- spurring on the desi...2019-02-1017 minReflections on ManagementS2E01 - The Face of the FranchiseThe myth of the heroic leader – the original leader archetype, reinforced by modern bureaucracy! Although some leadership scholars view the archetype with skepticism, there are instances where the presence of someone in a leadership position is equated with effective leadership ("presence," for example, is an explicit quality expected of military leaders). Call it charismatic leadership a la Conger and Kanungo or fulfilling the role of 'figurehead' a la Mintzberg, scholars have been pursuing constructs that capture the essence of a leader who 'looks' or 'acts' like a heroic leader.And then there is the leader as 'celebrity,' as...2019-02-0317 min

The Christmas season--traditional celebrated through December and into early January--marks the end of the calendar year and provides opportunities for get-togethers and celebrations of all sorts. For years, the U.S. has seen a lot of commercialization creep into the period, which has generated a lot of controversy. As one who has spent a lot of time traveling around the world, I've had the opportunity to witness and partake in a number of Christmas-related activities elsewhere. In this episode, I relay...2018-12-1616 minReflections on ManagementS1E09 - Organizational Commitment to Members -- RevisitedSometimes reflection can help bring about new insights on an old problem -- and cause one to rethink one's own view. In this episode, I revisit my own sidecast with the Talking About Organizations Podcast from earlier in this year. Titled Milton Hershey and an Organization's Commitment to its Members, the sidecast presented the story of Milton Hershey, who is rightfully lionized in the region where I live -- south central Pennsylvania in the U.S. -- as a good man who founded both a company and the town around it. In doing so, he made special effort to provide for...2018-12-0916 minReflections on ManagementS1E08 - Are We Too Busy To Learn?One of my dissertation subjects told a story about graduating from the War College and going to the new assignment, and on the first day was effectively told that what was learned would not be useful. The exigencies of the moment would consume all available time. The overprogramming of time has been a recurring theme -- whether in the field or in educational settings. A seemingly irresistible trend is to add new requirements to an already busy organization without full consideration of the workload already present. Although organizational members certainly appreciate being told they no longer have to do something...2018-12-0218 minReflections on ManagementS1E07 - Leadership, Terminal Illness, and Organizational GraceI read an interesting article some years back in which a consultant described the experience of his client's passing, and how he had to cope with the situation--both within himself and regarding his relationship with the organization. It was eye-opening and reminded me of a case where a member of the senior leadership team in an organization I served fell victim to Lou Gehrig's disease. Despite the toll it took on the body, the leader insisted that the organization carried on. And it did.Now that I am older, this episode carries much more meaning. Searching for a...2018-11-2515 minReflections on ManagementS1E06 - Is There Really Nothing So Practical as a Good Theory?Kurt Lewin famously said “There is nothing so practical as a good theory.” In the past two decades, this quote has been cited hundreds if not thousands of times in the literature, but in recent years there has been renewed attention to the problems of a theory-practice gap and how to resolve it. Yet since 2000 there has been a lot of attention paid to closing the ‘gap’ between theory and practice to limited avail? So was Lewin right, or is something else wrong?In this talk, I argue the latter -- mainly that we are being misled by the very...2018-11-1918 minReflections on ManagementS1E05 - Anchoring on the PilotInitiating change is already a big challenge, with all the resistance that change agents face and so on. Therefore, popular change management literature places tremendous emphasis on gaining forward momentum through early successes or quick 'wins' which are to be roundly celebrated. They supposedly convince organizations that achievement of the change goals is possible, all that is needed is more energy and excitement, and hopefully more quick wins. But my experiences suggest that this is where change efforts tend to stall because the organization is unable or unwilling to further invest in it. Instead, the pilot (or experiment) that was...2018-11-1117 minReflections on ManagementS1E04 - Crafting a Change StoryWe talk about change quite a lot, and have an incredible array of tools at our disposal. But how complete are these tools and how much is left for us to figure out. For example, a common thread in popular change management literature is the need to motivate or ‘establish a sense of urgency’. But in my experience that is incredibly difficult to do no matter how compelling the change. What’s missing?My proposed answer is the change story, in which the analysis of the organization's problem is connected to choices between the current path which leads to a de...2018-11-0418 minReflections on ManagementS1E03 - Is ‘Competitive Advantage’ a Real Thing?‘Competitive advantage‘ is one of those terms that I have puzzled over. It is used so often that I know people believe it means something, but it is rarely defined in practice. Scholars have attempted to derive formulas for it, but do those formulas mean anything or do they just tell us in scientific language what we already knew? In other words, is it just a MacGuffin–a prize or goal that drives a narrative forward but isn’t actually anything at all?On the other hand, if the term is meaningful, then how can one use ‘competitive advantage’...2018-10-2819 minReflections on ManagementS1E02 - Could Remembering History Become Mis-remembering?An important part of an organization’s identity is its ties to the past, claims of temporal continuity as they are known. One type of organization that plays up its enduring historical characteristics are governments at the national, state, or local levels. Evidence of this is quite prevalent in Europe, where artefacts of history are well-preserved and attract tourists from around the world, and in the United States. It requires a lot of resources to preserve the buildings and grounds, sustain the culture (e.g., traditional dress, music, food, dance, and so on), and provide environments for contemporary visitors to im...2018-10-2117 minReflections on ManagementS1E01 - Why Transformational Change May Seem Doomed to “Fail”The story goes that 70% of all change efforts fail, which means I’m sure many of you have experienced transformational change that failed to achieve its goals. While we can debate the precision of the figure but no doubt it is high. But is it really because we human beings are that bad at it? Or are there factors that make it utterly intractable?In this inaugural episode, I argue that the answer to the second question is probably 'yes,' which makes the first question irrelevant. The design, functions, or behaviors of certain organizations carry persistent tensions th...2018-10-1417 minReflections on ManagementS1E00 - Who am I? And Why Do I Want to Talk to You?In this special episode I go beyond the curriculum vitae kinds of things and tell you about my life history, and my background shapes the stories and ideas I wish to share in this podcast. I am retired military officer who pursued his doctorate late in life as a way of trying to understand what I had experienced as a military officer who spent the latter half of his career working at the so-called "strategic" level.
