In
today’s world, when you have a crisis, you invest in diplomacy and negotiated
solutions. But it would be a mistake not to back diplomacy with knowledge and
force preparation. You need to know. You have to access the best analysis of
options you can get and, at the same time, enough force and determination to
make use of it. This is the quickest way to convince the other side, the
opposing side, that negotiations are the best alternative for them. More than
ever, a comprehensive approach to crisis response requires good diplomats, top
class intelligence and well trained soldiers. On top of that, you have put good leadership.
And that’s the difficult part of this complex equation. Leadership. Leadership is
about vision, intuition, and courage. It requires experience, and combines it
with commitment and risk taking.
