I'm feeling so many different replies coming on from so many different angles, I feel I must be missing your point. What do you mean by "leadership" and are you drawing a distinction between legitimate organization leadership functions/expectations and thought/issue leadership as you indict the "product?"
Let me float questions to two specific items from your post:
Leadership is not necessarily about new ideas. How about mobilization of solid and relevant old ones.? And I think that, there, the results speak for themselves.
Sorry, but are you from either JFCOM or P&G? What does that mean? What is a strategy policy? And how did a treatise on company level principles for COIN become brand marketing?
I think we can pile on and pummel the 28 articles and some other works until we're blue in the face, and we'll wind up making some incremental improvements / refinements on the 2-10% level. But that apple cart will not be turned over so easily. There ARE some core truths, and they're pretty close to what was laid out.
