Guerrillas vs Gorillas
Terry Meyer
When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing.
Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population.
The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training—but none
of that seemed to matter.
Who are the Gorillas and who are the guerrillas?
So what makes the difference?
The new hard is soft…
Team of Intelligent Teams…
Silo destruction & collaboration
What does this mean for Assessors?
Assess for the environment…
Assess the organisation…
Assess intelligent teams…
Assess mental models…
Use assessment results for organisational effectiveness…
Assess for Guerrillas not Gorillas
Thank you!
