Is Critical Thinking the Most Important Skill for Leaders?

General Mark Millie said, quote, I do think it's important actually for those in of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read. He didn't use the term critical thinking or strategic thinking, but I'm wondering if you take his remarks as sort of an endorsement of the type of openness and evaluating the diversity of ideas that you've been an advocate for in the military setting? "I am really sure that General Millie thinks that critical thinking is if not the most important, one of the most important skills in his military leaders," he says.
