Download The Art of Command: Military Leadership from George Washington to Colin Powell AudioBook Free
What essential leadership lessons do we learn by distilling the actions and ideas of great military services commanders such as George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Colin Powell? This is the fundamental question underlying The Skill of Order: Military Command from George Washington to Colin Powell. The booklet illustrates that great leaders become great through mindful effort - a committed action not only to develop essential skills but also to surmount personal shortcomings. Harry S. Laver, Jeffrey J. Matthews, and the other adding writers identify nine core characteristics of highly effective leadership, such as integrity, willpower, vision, and charisma, and nine significant figures in American military services history whose employment opportunities embody those features. The Skill of Order examines each figure's strengths and weaknesses and exactly how those attributes influenced their leadership ability, supplying a unique perspective of military leadership in American history. Laver and Matthews have assembled a list of contributors from military services, educational, and professional circles, that allows the booklet to encompass diverse methods to the study of leadership.
