There are leadership strategies and tactics that have been tested and proven on the battlefield, in business, and in life.

The inspirational content will make this book an indispensable compaion for busy executives everywhere. This collection of George S. Patton’s pithy one-liners shows how business managers can succeed by applying the combat-tested principles of one of America's most famous battlefield leaders. General Patton was a professional soldier who spent his life inspiring people to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Now managers can use his secrets to motivate their employees. The author takes brief quotations from Patton’s writings and draws the deep inner philosophy from them. This way, managers can easily grasp the principles involved and make practical use of them to get great performance and productivity from their employees. The book also presents the work of W.

Download or read book Leadership on the Line With a New Preface written by Ronald Heifetz and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dangerous work of leading change--somebody has to do it. Will you put yourself on the line? To lead is to live dangerously. It's romantic and exciting to think of leadership as all inspiration, decisive action, and rich rewards, but leading requires taking risks that can jeopardize your career and your personal life. It requires putting yourself on the line, disrupting the status quo, and surfacing hidden conflict. And when people resist and push back, there's a strong temptation to play it safe. Those who choose to lead plunge in, take the risks, and sometimes get burned. But it doesn't have to be that way say renowned leadership experts Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky. In Leadership on the Line, they show how it's possible to make a difference without getting "taken out" or pushed aside. They present everyday tools that give equal weight to the dangerous work of leading change and the critical importance of personal survival. Through vivid stories from all walks of life, the authors present straightforward strategies for navigating the perilous straits of leadership. Whether you're a parent or a politician, a CEO or a community activist, this practical book shows how you can exercise leadership and survive and thrive to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Download or read book Tactical Leadership written by Paul D Lefavor and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for warrior leaders. Those who have been given the great privilege of leading our nation's Armed Forces. This book is an attempt to not only define the essence of leadership, especially the kind that is required at the tactical level, but to enable us as leaders to become decisive and make a positive impact. Learning is being able to profit from experience. The best way to learn about leadership is to study the examples provided by history. We can learn from weak leaders as much as we can from great leaders. To that end, this book draws from numerous battles and engagements in an effort to gain 'theoretical experience, ' a sort of imaginative practical application. Whereas 'theoretical' concerns itself with the theory of a subject rather than its 'experiential' and practical application, we, by means of our conceptual and imaginative abilities, may gain theoretical experience as though having 'been there and done that' ourselves. As Liddell Hart once aptly put it, "With two thousand years of examples behind us, we have no excuse for not fighting well." With this in mind, using various examples drawn from history, this volume is designed to apportion practical tools of leadership to the leaders of America's Armed Forces. One might ask: What benefit does a study of historical figures afford to the study of leadership? In a word, much in every way, as John Jessup observes, "Despite vast changes in technology since World War II, the combat leader may still learn much from the study of past battles and campaigns. Weather, terrain, and intelligence of friendly and enemy dispositions, for instance, are as important today as in the days of Alexander, Frederick the Great, and Napoleon; human reactions in combat remain relatively constant." Thus, as Napoleon once said, "Read and reread the deeds of the great commanders, it is the only way to learn the art of war." This book consists of seven parts. My agenda will be to gain a thorough understanding of leadership in all its facets. Beginning with definitions, my method will be to explore the various attributes and skills associated with leadership, making certain distinctions between it and management with an emphasis on tactics. This will be the focus of chapters one to three. Chapters four through fifteen flesh out these ideas through the lens of military history. Then in chapters sixteen through twenty-two, my intent will be to focus on leadership through instruction and counseling, finishing the discussion with a method on how to use history so as to avoid its catastrophes and failings of others. Finally, several appendices provide the leader with creeds and principles for which to guide action. In preparing this book I have been overwhelmed by the generous scale of assistance and inspiration I have received. My friends have graced me with sound advice and technical expertise. Thanks to all.

Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin’s SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed “all but lost.” In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three’s Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails. Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields. Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization.

Download or read book The Dichotomy of Leadership written by Jocko Willink and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Extreme Ownership comes a new and revolutionary approach to help leaders recognize and attain the leadership balance crucial to victory. With their first book, Extreme Ownership (published in October 2015), Jocko Willink and Leif Babin set a new standard for leadership, challenging readers to become better leaders, better followers, and better people, in both their professional and personal lives. Now, in THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP, Jocko and Leif dive even deeper into the unchartered and complex waters of a concept first introduced in Extreme Ownership: finding balance between the opposing forces that pull every leader in different directions. Here, Willink and Babin get granular into the nuances that every successful leader must navigate. Mastering the Dichotomy of Leadership requires understanding when to lead and when to follow; when to aggressively maneuver and when to pause and let things develop; when to detach and let the team run and when to dive into the details and micromanage. In addition, every leader must: · Take Extreme Ownership of everything that impacts their mission, yet utilize Decentralize Command by giving ownership to their team. · Care deeply about their people and their individual success and livelihoods, yet look out for the good of the overall team and above all accomplish the strategic mission. · Exhibit the most important quality in a leader—humility, but also be willing to speak up and push back against questionable decisions that could hurt the team and the mission. With examples from the authors’ combat and training experiences in the SEAL teams, and then a demonstration of how each lesson applies to the business world, Willink and Babin clearly explain THE DICHOTOMY OF LEADERSHIP—skills that are mission-critical for any leader and any team to achieve their ultimate goal: VICTORY.
