Last week I spoke at a breakfast meeting of Wharton and Harvard Business School Clubs of D.C. It was such an engaging group of individuals that included entrepreneurs, leaders of government agencies, and leaders from the social sector. I would like to thank them for their enthusiastic response to my presentation.
During the presentation I spoke about the leadership style of or Retired Admiral Vern Clark, the former Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) who served as CNO from 2000-2005. Retired Rear Admiral Rose Levitre, who presently works for LMI (an intelligence consulting organization) and Rear Admiral Frank Thorp, the current Chief of Information for the Navy, stood up before the group and shared their experiences working for Admiral Clark. Thank you Rose and Frank for inspiring us with your stories.
Finally, I would like to thank the Wharton Alumni Club of D.C.’s president, Alan Schlaifer, for doing a first class job of organizing this event and Anthony Priest, chairman of the Harvard Business School Club of D.C., for promoting it.
