101 Leading Soldiers with—
Not Primarily through—
Communication
Technology
Maj. Andrew B. Stipp, U.S. Army
Interpersonal relationships should be
enhanced by the use of technology, but
technology must never be allowed to
supplant those relationships. Face-toface communication, or other active
communication techniques, should be the
preferred means for leaders to understand
their soldiers’ values, principles, and emotions.
108 A Way to Teach
Critical Thinking
Skills so Learners Will
Continue Using Them in
Operations
Marcus Griffin, PhD
Lt. Col. Rob B. McClary, PhD,
U.S. Marine Corps, Retired
Even the most popular critical thinking
classes do not necessarily lead to critical
thinking on the job. Former Human Terrain
System trainers describe an integrative
model for ensuring learners continue to
apply critical thinking in complex situations.
