Quotes

"The metric is what the person has to contribute, not the person's rank, age, or level of experience. If they have the answer, I want the answer. When I post a question on my blog, I expect the person with the answer to post back. I do not expect the person with the answer to run it through you, your OIC, the branch chief, the exec, the Division Chief and then get the garbled answer back before he or she posts it for me. The Napoleonic Code and Net-centric collaboration cannot exist in the same space and time. It's your job to make sure I get my answers and then if they get it wrong or they could have got it righter, then you guide them toward a better way... but do not get in their way." - General James E. Cartwright (Note: This quote was originally published and attributed to a meeting at STRATCOM with Gen Cartwright and senior NCOs on a public blog site. The quote has since been taken down.)

"The people on the front lines are right, until proven otherwise." - Colin Powell
