“If you dislike change, you’re going to dislike irrelevance even more.”
– General Eric Shinseki –

Part of the U.S. Army’s transformation efforts involve a “startup” approach, using prototype formations like the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF) to test new technologies and tactics in real-world scenarios. Private sector leaders can learn from this approach by embracing a lean startup mentality, encouraging experimentation, and focusing on customer-centered design. By creating small, agile teams to test new ideas and technologies in real-world conditions (like AI) leaders can drive innovation and maintain relevance in rapidly changing markets without committing extensive resources upfront.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
