HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING – INTELLIGENCE EDITION

Fewer blogs, more posts. And some comments:

Kent’s Imperative – “Searching Starlight” and “The influence of the spear“

Attempting to get a person who does not understand the relative cognitive effect of perspective to a point of internalized comprehension is hard; but boy, if you do, there is a tremendous analyical payoff if you succeed. A light goes on – it’s like a V-8 engine suddenly finding the gas pedal. The second post wins plaudits for the apt phrase ” revolution in intelligence affairs”, alone.

Michael at Haft of the Spear – “Trying to Re-Tool IC HR“, “IC Strategic Human Capital Plan: Part I Challenges“, “IC Strategic Human Capital Plan: Part II The Vision” and “IC Strategic Human Capital Plan: Part III Goal I“.

What does the military, the State Department and the intelligence community all have in common ? Badly antiquated personnel systems where the incentives are out of whack from our national priorities. Or even the ostensible mission priorities.

Nice to see a few more kindred spirits.

That’s it.
