  • CHAPTER 5 BRAINPOWER for LEADERSHIP
    5 VOLUME TWO: TEAM LEADERSHIP CHAPTER 5 BRAINPOWER for LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP IS AN INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY. It requires brainpower. Developing your brainpower can only make you a more effective leader. Recognizing this fact, the U.S. military, the most professional force in the world, requires all officers to be college graduates. Moreover, even after commissioning, officers will attend four or more graduate-level schools on their way to the grade of colonel and above. Top NCOs receive a rigorous education, too. Moreover, a leader’s overall brainpower will affect his or her success. In this chapter, we look at critical thinking, creativity, and teaching – three aspects of leadership that speak to the need for serious study and the application of brainpower. Leaders need to teach themselves how to think and how to learn. If you want to lead, you better get yourself smart. 38 VOLUME TWO: TEAM LEADERSHIP CRITICAL THINKING CHAPTER GOALS 1.
