It's not difficult to see why General Sir Mike Jackson was once in control of the British army. He has a booming voice, the glower of someone who will brook no disobedience of compromise, and more wrinkles than a champion bloodhound - the telltale signs of wisdom and experience. His address to the London Business Forum marked the publication of his autobiography, Soldier, but it also came in the same week that he and several other grandees of the British military savaged the government for underfunding the Ministry of Defence. Even in retirement, it seems, he's still fighting.
In the Q&A session following his speech, Jackson described the armed forces as "heading for a bit of a crisis". But the event began with the topic of leadership, which he described as "an art rather more than it's a science"...
