Sumario:During each of the four years Colin Powell was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he addressed students at National Defense University (NDU) on the subject of leadership. The students are leaders in transition, looking forward to positions as generals and admirals in the nation's military, at senior executive levels in government, or as corporate officers in the private sector. Their NDU year serves as an entree into the substantially more complex thinking and leading skills they will need in the strategic world. Powell tried to convey to the students differences between leadership at the operational and strategic levels-where they had come from and where some might go.
