Warfare is a violent, intellectual contest between thinking and adapting adversaries. The team that can think better and adapt faster will win. As we prepare for operations and war with an increasingly complex set of potential adversaries, we must do more to sharpen our thinking, learn the lessons from history, and expand our minds.

The books on this list are those that have influenced my leadership development. It is our responsibility as leaders to continue to grow and to always question the status quo. These books have helped me do just that. If you find just one book on this list that challenges you as a leader, then it has been a success. I encourage you to discuss what has challenged you as a leader in our new forum. Remember to never stop striving to expand your mind.

Frequently asked questions

What is Orienteering?

Orienteering is a sport that involves navigating a set course from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain using a specialized topographical map and a compass. Checkpoints are circled on a specially prepared map, and you decide your own route between them. Should you go straight, through the forest and up the hill? Or perhaps take the longer but flatter trail for awhile? These are the kinds of decisions that run through an orienteer's mind. Orienteers use only a map and compass to navigate, but compass knowledge is not needed to get started. In fact, the primary skill in orienteering is reading the map and relating it to the terrain, and you can do that with just your eyeballs.

How long will this take?

First of all, courses are measured as the crow flies, meaning directly from one checkpoint to another. However, since you are not a bird, you will travel farther than this distance as you zig-zag to get to each checkpoint. Course distances are published in kilometers, so a good rule of thumb is to 'round up' the kilometers to miles to approximate how far you will go. So for example, at a 5-km course, you may actually travel about 5 miles. Alright, now that you've estimated how far you will go, anticipate moving a bit slower than your average hiking or trail running pace (depending on whether you plan to hike or run). You can only move as fast as you can navigate! Plus, waist-high grass can really slow you down. Also, you are bound to get a bit fuddled here and there. Still want a ballpark? Most GoGo courses take between 20-50 minutes, depending on which course you choose and your pace.
