 There can be little doubt that military officers have learned the art of managing high-risk, high-stakes situations in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. In many ways, the required skills can almost seem contradictory. A clear mission is provided from a higher headquarters but mission execution requires rapid adaptability. Furthermore, modern military officers must also manage complex but technically very precise systems. All of this must be done while following an admonition provided by General Colin Powell: “never let them see you sweat”. There can be little doubt that these same skills are required for leaders in today’s business world if they are to be successful in a climate of enormous competition and uncertainty.
