 Case studies of what leaders expect and demand from juniors October 3, 1999
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I bought this book to try to find ways to motivate the people that worked for me. As I read the book, I found "real life" situations that were occuring. This book is written by the hands of the most successful leaders of not just the Navy but the United States Marine Corps, the Royal Navy, and Germany. They discuss in great detail of what they expect of one of their officers. It tells the reader not to be afraid of making a mistake. Mistakes are a learning process. Those who contributed to this book state overwhelmingly that they want their subordinates to challenge them when presenting an idea. It talks about the "big picture" of an organization. All people interviewed for this book talk about not just being in the position of leadership but setting the example for others. It talks about your actions on and off the job. In summary, it says there are three types of people. The few that make things happen, the majority who don't know how to make things happen, and those who have no idea of what is happening. This book is ideal for any military officer and those in management positions.
 Great leadership manual and educational resource November 27, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is compiled with the premise that leaders are trained and made, not born, and offers a wealth of advice from successful naval officers about the principles and practices of good naval leadership. The compartmentalization between specific leadership skills/qualities/practices is somewhat artificial, for leadership is a holistic enterprise, but such an organized format allows the reader to read at his own pace and begin reading from any section that interests him. This book is not about sequential mastery, but serves as a reference and resource. It is great for junior officers who want to imbibe the ideals of leadership, and would benefit hardened naval veterans who desire a return to leadership first principles and rejuvenate thier professional outlook.
Excellent book on leadership March 25, 1998
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although titled 'NAVAL LEADERSHIP', this book is excellent for leadership in general. Topics are crisp, clear and sprinkled with more than a few 'real life' events to show the human side of the topic. Covers the topic in more detail than most of the light weight management books and gets right to the point. This book should be on the desk of all managers who want to strive to lead a team.
