#CCLKOW - Weekly Online Professional Development Discussion
Need quick ideas for professional development/discussion in 2016? Ideas from #CCLKOW may help – a weekly conversation on military affairs jointly hosted by the Center for Company-Level Leaders (CCL) at the US Military Academy at West Point and the Kings of War (KOW), a blog of the Department of War Studies, King’s College London.
The weekly discussion starts off with a post on a trending topic or interesting military subject. You can read what the experts have to say on the topic as they debate through both the Kings of War website and on Twitter. And the great news is – you can actively engage with these experts in the discussion. There are just two rules – be sensible and be polite.
