            *"It takes humility to reconsider our past commitments, doubt to question our present decisions, and curiosity to reimagine our future plans." – Adam Grant*

**Airmen,**

When was the last time you changed your mind? In **Think Again**, Dr. Adam Grant offers prescriptions for our Airmen to "rethink" by seeking out information that goes against our entrenched or bureaucratic views. With time, facts and assumptions change that inform a new decision. As a result, individual and collective rethinking should be done on a recurring basis to maintain our competitive advantage against our pacing challenge.

To inform our rethinking, Dr. Rush Doshi provides a masterclass on rethinking our blind spots regarding China's strategic ambitions. In **The Long Game: China's Grand Strategy to Displace American Order**, Dr. Doshi unpacks the complex tapestry of China's grand strategy.

One rethinking pitfall, "hindsight bias," clouds how we view the past in the retrospect of the present. **Katy Milkman's**Choiceology Podcast "Knew It All Along" shows us how to avoid selectively choosing details to make sense of the past.

Finally, I invite you to watch the Air Force Public Affairs Emmy® Award-winning documentary **Red Tail Angels – The Story of The Tuskegee Airmen**. Nearly 75 years ago, the Tuskegee Airmen pioneered a new paradigm of diversity within military aviation. Today, **Action Order A** challenges us to rethink the standards of our **pilot selection process** to identify and remove potential barriers.

I encourage you to think about these insightful topics and share your thoughts and ideas with your fellow Airmen.


Sincerely,**CHARLES Q. BROWN, JR.
General, U.S. Air Force
Chief of Staff**



*Editor's note: The **CSAF Leadership Library** is a fluid set of media selected by Gen. Brown that evolves as novel ideas are published, recorded, and debated. New entries will be added periodically throughout the year.*
