Sometimes the greatest ideas come from unexpected places. That’s why I’m an advocate for “going and seeing.”   One of my favorite “go and see” stories comes from Lt Col. Hank Keirsey walking around his defensive perimeter in the Middle East just before the 1990 Gulf War kicked off. He came up to one of his squad’s sections and started talking to the squad leader, a light infantry squad equipped with light weapons to fight off a light infantry foe. He explained to the squad leader that reports had the enemy nearby and would be coming heavily armed and in tanks.
