In this blog, I endeavor to share thoughts about issues that I find timely and compelling - leadership, faith, business issues, recruiting trends, Renaissance Men and Women in the world, Service Academies and their graduates, helping military leaders transition to leadership roles in the business world, international travel, literature, theater, films, the arts and the once and future World Champion Boston Red Sox!

Fleming Piece

Srinivasan Blog Rebuttal
The two pieces have sparked an interesting debate. I suggest you read both pieces and add your perspective to the ongoing dialogue.
Make note of the fact that in the comments at the end of Rajiv's piece, Fleming himself responds.
