Abstract
I travel out of two streams of thought in writing this chapter. The first relates to over 31 years of active military experience in the United States Army, including service as a general officer. The second is an 18-year association with action learning, including a close friendship with Reg Revans, the principal pioneer of action learning. These two streams interplay throughout, and I ended up being surprised by how much they mirror one another.
