In the previous reading list I stated that the future of warfare requires advanced thinking to win. That thinking must occur at all levels. The purpose of this reading list is to enhance the scope of your thoughts on leadership and share some works that have helped me throughout my military career. Through self discovery and analysis of the content in each book, I want to help you develop new approaches to leadership. The true aim of an education is not knowledge but action. For those seeking to improve themselves and the environment they're in, these books will serve you well--as long as you act upon that knowledge. Through knowledge, we develop courage. Courage drives action and action drives results. The knowledge and insight I have gained from these readings has shaped who I am today, my leadership style, and my bias for action. I hope they serve the same value in your quest for excellence. Remember, the mind is the warrior's greatest weapon--exercise it. -- SEAC Ramon Colon-Lopez
