Transforming to Secure Our Nation

Abstract

In one-way or another, every individual is constantly transforming. We may change our eating habits, decide to exercise more, make a conscious decision to go back to school, start saving money, or take better care of our family. It is important to remember that not all transformations are large and distinctive. Some transformations occur as small, evolutionary changes that build over time. Transformation is a new way of thinking about, approaching, preparing for, and executing your responsibilities. The keys to transformation are simple -fire, set a goal and then find the most efficiency path to achieve that goal; and second, once a goal is clearly defined, change or shorten the cycle time of implementing the change. That goal could be a personal goal or, as will be discussed here, a goal to secure our nation's future.
