A Day of Mixture



There are people to call and notes to write. Meetings need to be set and held. Matters, in short, need to be placed in or nudged along the pipeline, but there is also the necessity to think. That doesn't require a mountain top. At the unlikeliest of times, a thought may arrive and you'd better jot it down before it flits away.

We are being, thinking, and acting - the Army's elements of leadership are Be, Know, Do - and of course they often overlap. Part of the process is understanding which element is most likely to be overdone and which may underdone. We need the right mixture.
