David Casalaspi, PhD, Hailly Korman, and I put together a new, multi-dimensional framework that incorporates both phases and activities of policy implementation in one set of resources.

Please share and let us know what you think!

‘THE COUNCIL’ OF QUALIFIED MEN “COUNCIL, noun: an advisory, deliberative, or legislative body of people formally constituted and meeting regularly. COUNSEL, noun: 1. Advice, especially that given, (Formally: 1. in accordance with the rules of convention or etiquette.) QUALIFIED, adjective: 1. Officially recognized as being trained to perform a particular job; certified.” (Oxford Languages) A ‘Council of Qualified Men’ (CQM), is made up of highly experienced, and knowledgeable Men, which is similar to a ‘Council of Qualified Women’ (CQW). Each Council provides its own Specialized Diversity of Professionals, of which, the other could not. A meeting of the Minds between the two Councils, brings insight, and Wisdom, for which, without, they would both be severely lacking. However, Counseling from Qualified Men, is needed, in order to forge a Correct, and Positive future for young men, in order to, Direct and Lead the next generation towards a successful future. Without it, Men are, for the most part, doomed to repeat the failed mistakes of their predecessors, thereby wasting valuable time, and effort on proven failed endeavors of the past, and engaging in ‘HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE’ behavior at an ‘Extremely Higher’ rate than Women in a similar predicament. Irrespective of naysayers, the United States Military, at present, presents structural evidence of the aforementioned Councils via, formal Councils of Men and Women e.g. (Senior/Junior Enlisted & Officers Clubs), and also, Informal Councils of Men, and Woman e.g. (E4 Mafia/Barracks Leaders), on an interpersonal Barracks to Drill Hall level. Case in point, a Man, ‘No matter How Qualified’, could no more walk into a Female Barracks, and Counsel Women on the interpersonal resolution skills needed to mediate female challenges encountered within the Military, and/or Vice Versa. However, an Informal Council of Qualified Women could, and Does, Every Day. The aforementioned was said, to say this. CQM’s, and CQW’s need to be Cultivated, and Directed towards a Positive, and Pre-planned direction that benefits the Whole, or a ‘Rouge Element’ Will eventually Metastasize, and direct their followers towards Chaos. P.S. A Council is only as good as its Structure, and Rules. Because a lack of Valid Structure, and Rules creates a Chaotic Council, … GEN X, Out.
