Mission Command and the Grey Cell Protocols: Creating the Necessary Conditions for Decentralized Leadership - Hardcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Kit Perez is the developer of the Grey Cell Protocols, a systematic framework that makes explicit the conditions high-performing units have always enforced implicitly and extends them to environments that cannot rely on extreme selection or institutional attrition. She brings a background in applied behavioral analysis, counterintelligence methodology, trauma psychology, and group dynamics, with extensive experience in civilian, volunteer, and resistance environments. Her training includes graduate-level work in intelligence studies and trauma psychology, informing her analysis of orientation, deception, and human behavior under pressure.

Donald Vandergriff brings decades of experience studying, teaching, and applying Mission Command and adaptive leadership within military and civilian institutions. His perspective is shaped by service across multiple roles, including uniformed leadership and deployed advisory work, giving him direct exposure to how command doctrine functions under real operational pressure and combat environments.
