Bet You Never Heard of This Leadership Trait
Thomas, Joseph J.
Journal of Leadership Education, v9 n2 p1-4 Sum 2010

Many things compete for the time and attention of Midshipmen (the Academy's students). Greater attention must be paid to interpersonal communications skills in the formal and informal curriculum.
