I have not read this one, but I have read Malone which is advertised on that link as a companion and maybe fifteen more of a like genre.
They deal in the main with lessons in leadership, and most of them are not applicable directly to combat operations. They are do and don't do books, and are usually full of narratives of lessons learned the hard way.
Army Magazine the print organ of The Association of The U S Army ran for many years a monthly column by Aubrey Newman, which were later collected in two volumes under the title "Follow Me - The Human Element of Leadership". As an LTC, General Newman led the 34th Infantry Regiment in the Pacific, and is the subject of the Army in Action series painting "Follow Me" and also the model for the statue in front of Infantry Hall at Benning, which some of you may remember as my signature on the black board. General Newman's collection is probably the best of this type book in my opinion. All of the stories concern leadership, and it's lessons and takes the reader from being a company officer to division command. Highly recommended.
Something else though. This type book can be used for anyone that finds him or herself in a leadership role, not just in the military. Leadership when you get it down to the bare bones is how you interact with people, the standards you set for them, and your ability to tell them to go to hell (regardless of where or what that hell may be) and have them enjoy the trip, knowing that you are there with them every step of the way.

Beth,
Chuck, without reading, touched on some major points. To a civilian it offers much about change management, team building, and growing your management to higher levels. Might even give some YUPI manager new buzz words, "at the end of the day"
Regards,
Tom
PS may give some insight into thought process. |
