Guide to Global Leadership: Two Recommended “Must Reads” for Corporate Executives

“The Age of the Unthinkable” by Joshua Cooper Ramo

Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!  Go directly online and buy “The Age of the Unthinkable” by Joshua Cooper Ramo.  I have been telling everyone I know about this book and now I am writing about it too.

We can all agree, that each day we hear yet another discouraging news report on how something else unexpected has gone to hell in a hand-basket.  Just this past November 2008, Alan Greenspan in testimony before Congress said “I’ve discovered a flaw.”  The Congressman questioning Mr. Greenspan asked him to explain, and with much bewilderment Mr. Greenspan said that “using the vast knowledge he had accumulated of the last 40 years and on which he had based his most trusted decisions, was no longer valid.” 

Hearing that from Alan Greenspan must have had the same impact as someone overhearing Warren Buffet say “oops, I only wanted to buy 10% of that company and I accidentally added an extra zero.  Now I own 100%.  Can I change that order?”

Here is some background on the author: 

Joshua Cooper Ramo is the managing director at Kissinger Associates, one of the world’s leading geostrategic advisory firms and the former foreign editor and assistant managing editor of Time magazine.

Mr. Ramo has recently released an audio book entitled “The Age of the Unthinkable – Why the new world disorder constantly surprises us and what we can do about it”

Here is a brief section of the book’s introduction:

“Just a few years into a new century, we’ve arrived at a moment of peril that not long ago would have seemed unimaginable.  All around us, the ideas and institutions that we once relied on for our safety and security are failing, and the best ideas of our leaders seem to make our problems worse, not better.  A global war on terror produces,  in the end, more dangerous terrorists.  The fight to stop financial crisis seems to accelerate its arrival.  Carefully negotiated  peace plans produce less peace.

This wasn’t always the case.  For decades, our engagement with the world was based on the seductive belief that there was a logical relationship between the power of states and the physics of change.  But that traditional physics of power has been replaced by something radically different.  Drawing upon history, economics, complexity theory, psychology, human immunology, and the science of networks we learn about a landscape of inherent unpredictability and remarkable possibility.”

"ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED IN KINDERGARTEN" by Robert Fulghum

Most of what we really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, we learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box at nursery school.

These are the things we learned.

• Share everything.
• Play fair.
• Don't hit people.
• Put things back where you found them.
• Clean up your own mess.
• Don't take things that aren't yours.
• Say you are sorry when you hurt somebody.
• Wash your hands before you eat.
• Flush.
• Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
• Live a balanced life.
• Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday.
• Take a nap every afternoon.
• When you go out in the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
• Be aware of wonder.
• Remember the little seed in the plastic cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why. We are like that.

And then remember that book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK! Everything you need to know is there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology, and politics and the sane living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Speculation, Rumors and Whispers - Who could become the Cyber Tsar – Will Willie Win?

By Kevin M. Nixon, MSA, CISSP^©, CISM^©, CGEIT^©

Got to thinking about all of the speculation, rumors and whispers, circulating around Washington DC tonight about who is on the short list with Tsar-like skills.   

First, disregard all of the qualifications, in-depth security knowledge etc. that are on the typical everyday run of the mill Tsar Job Postings.

Think about alternative candidates that have additional supplemental income to take the sting out of that capitated $150K pay grade.  Perhaps someone retired from the military, perhaps someone who has retained top level security clearance while in the private sector.  Perhaps someone with experience dealing with huge software suppliers and with experience in Government Relations and Federal Programs with companies located in Washington State.  And certainly someone with former responsibility for sales, business development, and the capture/proposal process for public sector opportunities.  Consider also, someone with experience developing a company's Network Centric Systems, for Military Integration and Transformation.  After all of those additional qualifications, perhaps someone currently in the private sector with very close government ties.  

Rear Admiral Robert C. “Willie” Williamson, USN (Ret) joined Raytheon, Network Centric Systems in March 2004. He assumed the newly created position of Director, Naval Integration and Transformation and was assigned additional responsibilities as the Director of Business Development for Integrated Communications Systems (ICS) in December 2004. Currently, Willie is the vice president of International Programs for Integrated Communications Systems (ICS).

Another Washington whisper includes Paul B. Kurtz, a recognized cyber security and homeland security expert. He served in senior positions on the White House's National Security and Homeland Security Councils under Presidents Clinton and Bush and is currently an on-air consultant to CBS News.   Paul Kurtz, is currently a Partner and security consultant with Arlington, Va.-based Good Harbor Consulting.  

Good Harbor Consulting Good Harbor Consulting, LLC was founded in 2002 by Good Harbor President Roger W. Cressey after he served in cyber security and counterterrorism positions in the Clinton and Bush administrations. He sought to establish a boutique consulting firm combining public and private sector knowledge and experience to develop a unique offering for government and commercial clients.

In 2003, Richard A. Clarke joined as Chairman of the firm and John S. Tritak joined as CEO. Clarke, an internationally recognized expert on security, including homeland security, national security, cyber security, and counterterrorism, has served the last three U.S. Presidents as a senior White House advisor. Prior to his 11 consecutive White House years, Clarke served for 19 years in the Pentagon, the Intelligence Community, and State Department.

So, President Obama has a number of players sitting on the bench and ready to play the game.  But something just keeps nagging me as I tried to figure out who might have the best odds in Vegas.  Add all of those ingredients together, stir and filtered and studied and still came up with Retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Robert C. "Willie" Williamson. 

Just as I had noticed the mysterious change in Melissa Hathaway’s title on the White House Blog, at the moment that the President was speaking, I also noticed something very interesting, “Why would Raytheon remove Rear Admiral Williamson’s distinguished service Bio from the corporate website?”  Will Raytheon be doing an executive search for a new VP of International Programs?  (Just imagine job search skills would include:  “Successful candidate should possess Tsar like qualities and drive for advancement.)

It just seems to me that if one studies the subtle, nuance moves which Washington perfected and patented it would seems that Willie is the pick.  That is just my personal opinion and random thinking.

Washington is Whispering

Is she or isn’t she – America’s New Cybersecurity Tsarina?

By Kevin M. Nixon, MSA, CISSP^©, CISM^©, CGEIT^©

Information Security Resources staff had received an advance copy of the official White House Press Release (05/29/2009) and was all ears today during President Obama’s East Room remarks on the highly anticipated and long awaited release of the “Cyberspace Policy Review: Assuring a Trusted and Resilient Information and Communications Infrastructure”. The report has become known as “The Hathaway 60-Day Report” in “homage” to Melissa Hathaway, the person President Obama picked as “Acting Senior Director for Cyberspace of the National Security Council (NSC) and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”. Not only did the President bestow a title too long to technically print on a normal sized business card, also he gave her a the shortest runway I have ever seen to assemble recommendations, gain consensus, and publish a report for the Chief Executive. Just pulling together all agencies, departments, stove-piped information while overcoming all the turf battles can only be likened to attempting a huge worm wrestle.

Ms Hathaway accomplished the task and delivered the goods and so everyone anticipated that the President would recognize her “get it done” work ethic and also announce from the East Room today, her appointment as America’s Cybersecurity Tsarina. However, everyone holding their breath in the East Room today probably passed out from lack of oxygen. The President was blatantly and conspicuously silent on his appointment.

The President’s silence left everyone wondering “does she or doesn’t she” and left reports attempting to find any hints of the President’s plan. ISR think that we may be on to something. As POTUS stepped in front of the gathered experts, somewhere in the back offices of the White House there was a shadowy figure hunkered over a keyboard waiting for the exact moment to press enter and publish an article on the White House Blog. Could that person have even been sitting in the East Room audience with the President holding onto her three Blackberry devices just waiting for President Obama to give the secret word or phrase to “press the send” button?

We may never know, but President Obama did acknowledge Melissa Hathaway at about the same time that an article by her was posted on the White House Blog. What is noticeable is in Ms Hathaway’s article is her title in the article’s by-line. Gone is “Melissa Hathaway, Acting Senior Director for Cyberspace of the National Security Council (NSC) and the Homeland Security Council (HSC)”. The new by-line reads: Melissa Hathaway, Cybersecurity Chief at the National Security Council.

Which still leaves us wondering and waiting? Is the White House making new robes as the Catholic church does when a new Pope is elected or has Ms Hathaway been appointed “Camerlingo” (1^st runner up in a papal contest). Guess we will just have to wait. Melissa Hathaway’s Blog post “Security Our Digital Future” is re-published on the ISR website.

Securing Our Digital Future

Melissa Hathaway, Cybersecurity Chief at the National Security Council, discusses securing our nation's digital future:

Published: FRI, MAY 29, 10:00 AM EST -- The White House Blog

The globally-interconnected digital information and communications infrastructure known as cyberspace underpins almost every facet of modern society and provides critical support for the U.S. economy, civil infrastructure, public safety and national security.  The United States is one of the global leaders on embedding technology into our daily lives and this technology adoption has transformed the global economy and connected people in ways never imagined.  My boys are 8 and 9 and use the Internet daily to do homework, blog with their friends and teacher, and email their mom; it is second nature to them.  My mom and dad can read the newspapers about their daughter on-line and can reach me anywhere in the world from their cell phone to mine.  And people all over the world can post and watch videos and read our blogs within minutes of completion.  I can’t imagine my world without this connectivity and I would bet that you cannot either.   Now consider that the same networks that provide this connectively also increasingly help control our critical infrastructure.  These networks deliver power and water to our households and businesses, they enable us to access our bank accounts from almost any city in the world, and they are transforming the way our doctors provide healthcare.  For all of these reasons, we need a safe Internet with a strong network infrastructure and we as a nation need to take prompt action to protect cyberspace for what we use it for today and will need in the future.

Protecting cyberspace requires strong vision and leadership and will require changes in policy, technology, education, and perhaps law.  The 60-day cyberspace policy review summarizes our conclusions and outlines the beginning of a way forward in building a reliable, resilient, trustworthy digital infrastructure for the future.  There are opportunities for everyone—individuals, academia, industry, and governments—to contribute toward this vision.  During the review we engaged in more than 40 meetings and received and read more than 100 papers that informed our recommendations.   As you will see in our review there is a lot of work for us to do together and an ambitious action plan to accomplish our goals.  It must begin with a national dialogue on cybersecurity and we should start with our family, friends, and colleagues.

We are late in addressing this critical national need and our response must be focused, aggressive, and well-resourced.  We have garnered great momentum in the last few months, and the vision developed in our review is based on the important input we received from industry, academia, the civil liberties and privacy communities, others in the Executive Branch, State governments, Congress, and our international partners.  We now have a strong and common view of what is needed to achieve change.   Ensuring that cyberspace is sufficiently resilient and trustworthy to support U.S. goals of economic growth, civil liberties and privacy protections, national security, and the continued advancement of democratic institutions requires making cybersecurity a national priority.
