    Looking at the options again, it strikes me that the issues “Overload of Training Requirements,” “Resourcing Difficulties,” and “Technical and Tactical Mastery” are all related to prioritization – a key task as a leader, and in life in general. We never have as many resources (time, money, etc.) as we’d like, so we must develop sound priorities. There is not a “one-size fits all” answer – each situation is unique – so this is where leadership is put to the test. Determine how to maintain a good grasp of your organization’s current situation, maintain a dialogue with your higher and subordinate leaders to determine where your organization needs to be in the future, and determine your priorities from that. […almost analogous to developing an operational concept using a simplified version of the Army design methodology.]
