Everybody is an ego right well the egos and all of us we have to either check them ourselves or figure how to check them but one of the things that I've learned with really good officers is the way to ensure an officer is successful to their careers you gotta constantly just check their ego. Once you start believing in your own how I've seen really great officers and even really great and see once they start believing in their own height it comes out.

A no BS, thoughtful, yet entertaining conversation on the topic of Critical Thinking between SGM Chuck Ritter and LTC Charles Faint from the Modern War Institute at West Point.
