Quotes:

• “Civilians don't understand that in the military, we only talk about leadership as a dialect of management, while management is the language of business.”- Eric "Doc" Wright, PhD
• “Fluency is the ability to translate and communicate clearly, confidently, and concisely in the target language. If you can't understand and can't respond, you're going to get a letter that says you're under-qualified.”- Eric "Doc" Wright, PhD
• “You got to learn the language because if you don't know the language you can’t be effective. Get on, run circles around them, learn the language, be hands-on, and then you'll be the CEO.”- Eric "Doc" Wright, PhD
