Unrealized potential: a critical analysis of the Command and General Staff Officer course (CGSOC). Confessions of a third term CGSOC student.
No full textI want to change the way you think about the resident Command and General Staff Officer Course (CGSOC). This course has phenomenal potential. It offers opportunities unparalleled in other professions. For the most part however, this massive potential remains unrealized and the virtually limitless opportunities largely missed. This essay offers a critical analysis of the resident CGSOC. I begin by offering a fresh perspective that emphasizes the high cost and unique potential of such a mid-career course and then reluctantly conclude that we have largely missed the mark. Given this conclusion, I then examine the complex causes of such an expensive failure. The explanation is not trivial. The causes are deeply rooted in the school's underlying assumptions about its students, its faculty, and education in general. Such assumptions are not easily changed. However, if we are serious about unlocking the phenomenal potential of this school, if we are truly interested in moving beyond mediocrity, then we must have the courage to challenge these assumptions and boldly act based on a new vision for CGSOC
