5 out of 5 stars A Starting Point   May 22, 2008
Pepe N. Johnson (Dallas, Texas, USA)
This well-written and short book was crafted to serve as a starting point for those military leaders who wish to further refine their leadership skills. The author introduces a number of leadership concepts and provides a lot of thought-provoking insight, based in his own experience and those of other military leaders he interviewed. I read some chapters, and went back and re-read them to make sure I had gleaned everything I could from his writing. Throughout the text and at the end of each chapter, he lists several books that you may want to check out for further study.


4 out of 5 stars Very very good   May 20, 2007
T. Warner (USA)
Shows what a military officer needs to read and how to apply it to get an inner foundation for effective leadership. This is certainly not just a bibliography listing of books!

I was happy to see that I had already read a number of the suggested books but there was plenty of new material to go find.

1 out of 5 stars The author didn't write what he thought he wrote.   July 31, 2006

The author, having spent his military life reading about leadership, tries to write a book about leadership. What he ended up writing was a book about reading about leadership, and given his own limited writing ability, even his writing recommendations can't be trusted. I'm going to go read some Heinlein and see if I can't get better recommendations than this.


5 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL   December 14, 2004

By all means this text is essential to your quest to become a leader. Although slotted for an outlook more akin to officers; I would highly recommend this book to enlisted members as well. As an NCO myself this book was incredibly insightful and has definitely furthered my career as a member of the military. If only more officers would read this book the Arms would be a much better, and effective, entity.
