1-11-12:The First Battle of the Next War (Plus:Gitmo Detainees Obama Plans to Release)

Leadership 101: Body, Mind, and Soul Required W. Thomas Smith, Jr. Leadership has been written about since armies first marched and navies first sailed, often neglecting the pure fundamentals of good leadership, be it military or business leadership. Welcome to Leadership 101, a new feature at FSM. I call it Leadership 101, because basic leadership is exactly what we will address - tackling the fundamentals of good leadership - but from a unique perspective. We'll do it in such a way as to give you the tools needed to both ramp up your leadership skills (yes, seeing results immediately) and develop your leadership capabilities for the long haul. And we will do so no matter what your leadership experience and skill level may be. ♦♦♦ CHECK OUT FSM'S NEW HOT PICKS' FEATURE: "WHAT DOES PAM THINK?
