Leadership Lessons in Colorado Springs

摘要

I am looking forward to ILMA's Annual Meeting in September at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs,Colorado,particularly the keynote presentation by astronaut Scott Kelly on lessons on teamwork,leadership and pushing one's own limits,based on his year in space.Scott and his twin brother,Mark,lived a few miles away from me in northern New Jersey when we were kids,so I hope we can”talk Jersey.”Because of the Compoundings production deadlines,I am writing this column on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.I have been caught up in the events commemorating the Allied invasion for a number of reasons,including my late wife's father having served as a member of the American Battle Monuments Commission during the Nixon administration.The commission is responsible for the American cemeteries overseas,and I visited the Normandy cemetery with ILMA members in May 2003.I watched on YouTube last month President Ronald Reagan's speeches from Normandy on the 40th anniversary of D-Day.It really had me thinking.
