Ken:

In grad school many, many years ago, my prof needed an article on national-level Industrial Policy, so I researched and researched....

Lot's of articles, books, quotes. Distilled to: "Knowledge is transferable but wisdom is not."

Yours is, perhaps, a more precise and focused version:

"Improving leader training is important -- improving the force they lead is equally important. Good, well trained leaders can overcome dysfunctional organization and doctrine but they can perform so much better if those impediments are removed."
