A successful week for our fellows on the importance of dialogue.
GEN John M. Murray was the keynote speaker at the International Armored Vehicle Conference in London, England. GEN Murray spoke about the U.S.Army's Six Modernization priorities and the importance of relationships with our strong partners and allies as well as the deliberate focus on interoperability as a key component to the Army's success.
Learning to lead through communication, conversation, and dialogue.
Looking forward to seeing how the “about me” boards will evolve during the fellowship as the fellows set goals, learn their strengths and how to apply those in future endeavors.
