Mikhail Kokorich, participated in a dynamic panel at #FDDay in Paris yesterday. This discussion focused on the role #DefenseTech plays in shaping Europe's technological sovereignty. Mikhail, alongside other esteemed panelists from Preligens, Sopra Steria, Safran, Dassault Aviation, NAVAL GROUP, Airbus Group, MBDA, Nexter, Thales explored critical questions such as: - How can Europe accelerate innovation in DefenseTech without creating new dependencies? - What are the essential areas in DefenseTech where Europe needs to develop autonomy to ensure security? - How can public procurement play a role in driving innovation for Europe's defense goals? During the panel, Mikhail also emphasized that cost-effective technologies are enabling countries to maintain cutting-edge capabilities without the excessive costs that often accompany such developments. At Destinus, we choose to do things differently—by developing solutions from scratch and avoiding reliance on large corporations or institutions, which often involve long, expensive processes.

The adventure/opportunity of a lifetime.

A strong and powerful message.

Interview with Dr. Lewis on his book "NOTHING LESS THAN VICTORY." The goal of war is to defeat the enemy's will to fight. But how this can be accomplished is a thorny issue. Nothing Less than Victory provocatively shows that aggressive, strategic military offenses can win wars and establish lasting peace, while defensive maneuvers have often led to prolonged carnage, indecision, and stalemate. Taking an ambitious and sweeping look at six major wars, from antiquity to World War II, John David Lewis shows how victorious military commanders have achieved long-term peace by identifying the core of the enemy's ideological, political, and social support for a war, fiercely striking at this objective, and demanding that the enemy acknowledges its defeat. https://lnkd.in/gK_487Ap On Amazon: http://amzn.to/2taZpmb ------ https://lnkd.in/gK_487Ap

This is very interesting stuff. Winning by extending competition is analogous to how insurgents think.

When I deployed to Iraq as a young logistics officer with my platoon, I learned a leadership lesson that has stayed with me for 18 years. I saw the movie 300 for the first time right before we rolled into Ramadi during the Surge. It's a great movie to watch with your platoon before you go on patrol. The story was great, but it wasn't the story that spoke to me. It was how Leonidas spoke to his troops. Specifically, these three sentences: This is where we hold them. This is where we fight. This is where they die. On these shields, boys! 300 was the true story of 300 Spartan warriors led by King Leonidas. They sacrificed themselves in a successful holding action against a Persian army of thousands so that the rest of Greece could come together to push Xerxes back. In his speech, Leonidas started at the end. Faced with a seemingly impossible situation, he started with his VISION, the end state, the outcome. He declared the outcome before it happened. He didn't say, we're going to try. He said, this is what will happen. This is what we will do. Simple. Start with the vision, deliver the mission, rally the team to action. He didn't discuss how they might fail or how they might retreat. He stated the vision and how they would achieve the end result. He generated an unstoppable attitude, and it led to one of the most heroic successful last stands of all time and an ultimate victory. I learned the concept as a young leader, but I have been slowly learning to apply it over the decades. We don't have to be King Leonidas to be a good leader. But we should hold his attitude close to our heart and let it guide our actions. Whether it's a patrol, a global campaign, a battle, a project, perhaps three projects: Know your end-state, decide the outcome, then work back from there as you build your plan. Start with the end and go back to the beginning. Focus your team on the outcome, set your course and all follow on actions on it like the North Star. Roll out with calm assurance to challenge the constraints and achieve the vision! It works. #spartan #leadership #vision #projectmanagement #Iraq #OIF #Army #officership #PM
