"Successful tactical leaders might be tempted to think their success has prepared them adequately for the demands of strategic leadership. A consideration of Hood’s career demonstrates the fallacy of this assumption. This insight is an important one for people who want to assume responsibility for their own leader development process. The lesson here is that developing oneself as a strategic leader needs to begin long before one actually becomes a strategic leader."

LTC Eric Udouj I love the fact that the article referred to the fact that books are great, but they can't teach you everything you need to know about leadership. Yes, they can give you insights of leaders past, but actually going out there to lead is the best way to learn how to do it!
Thank you for the article, sir!

Hood was my favorite Confederate General, who else can get credit for destroying a Confederate Army at so little cost to the Union.

Not the first and not the last great divisional commander who should never have been promoted higher. Ole Pem also gets credit for losing a whole field army with very little to show for it.
