With a boss like mine, no chance you'll get carried away. Reality check always embedded in a quasi commendation.

"You're doing great but you should be worried that you've not groomed others who share your work ethics. Your success lies in replicating yourself".

I hear sir.

I could make excuses. Words like you can only drag a horse to the river & such but he's actually right. I cannot be the go-to person all the time. I have to consciously ensure available of a ready pool of talents who can competently deputise or handle tasks on their own.
It sounds clichéd but it's true that success without a successor is faulty. You may just be feeding your own ego by being the only one who knows how to effectively get things done. There's also the element of wear-out & fatigue. Do it for yourself at the very least.
The challenge of ruthless executioners is delegation. Finding those who share your 'succeed first, complain later' mentality. Those who will get to a door & find a way in without calling you to say the door is locked. Doers. Performers. They are hard to find.
Most ruthless executioner mindsets are innate. They are honed on the journey. They are LEARNT by observation & replication. They are not TAUGHT. If I have to repeatedly teach you what to do even after observing how I do them, you probably are not personally motivated.
You must have the belief that you're doing it for yourself. For your personal development. If I have to teach you always, you're doing it for me & you probably won't do it if I wasn't there. Excellence is a personal lifestyle not something you do for other's benefit. Do it for U.
Most people reach out to me & say I want you to mentor me but the truth is that I cannot teach you what you have not taken initiative for. @NaijaFlyingDr has shared that your mentors do not even have to know you personally. You can be a mentee by distant observation & replication
Which leads to the side conversation of what people really desire when they seek mentorship. Mentorship is not hand-holding. Ain't nobody got time for that. Mentorship is meeting you on your journey & guiding you on the right path. Mentorship is not helping you start your journey
So if you really want to replicate someone's results, then you must start your own journey & emulate the methods of your chosen mentor. Their efficiency & effectiveness was not handed down to them on a platter. They honed it over years of doing. Start doing. Learn. Imbibe.
So to all those, like me, doing a lot of things alone & despairing that you do not have worthy lieutenants, identify those in your orbit who have displayed the knack for excellence and execution& guide them accordingly.

May God send us worthy protégés.

Ugwu Ngwu.

There is some valuable analysis in this report, but on the defense front this report is deeply flawed. There are other sections of value in report but, candidly, I don't think it helps us think through critical question of Taiwan defense issues in clear & well-grounded way. 1/


Normally as it might seem churlish to be so critical, but @cfr is so high-profile & the co-authors so distinguished I think it’s key to be clear. If not, people - including in Beijing - could get the wrong idea & this report could do real harm if influential on defense issues. 2/

BLUF: The defense discussion in this report does not engage at the depth needed to add to this critical debate. Accordingly conclusions in report are ill-founded - & in key parts harmful/misleading, esp that US shldnt be prepared defend Taiwan directly (alongside own efforts). 3/

The root of the problem is that report doesn't engage w the real debate on TWN defense issues or, frankly, the facts as knowable in public. Perhaps the most direct proof of this: The citations. There is nothing in the citations to @DeptofDefense China Military Power Report...4/

Nor to vast majority of leading informed sources on this like Ochmanek, the @RANDCorporation Scorecard, @CNAS, etc. This is esp salient b/c co-authors by their own admission have v little insight into contemporary military issues. & both last served in govt in Bush 43. 5/
