Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-20 00:00:00 Juan M Castro Tapia I try to read leadership books at least once or twice a year. I know that some of the captains in my department had read this a year or so ago and discussed it among themselves. But for me, it was repetitive and very basic. I saw no new ideas - or even old concepts presented in a new format. It was written in a style that was heavy on verbiage and did not include a lot of real-world applicability. I read a little at a time and it still took a while to plow through - at the size of this book I should have been done in a week or two at most, not a month. It might be useful for someone with little exposure to leadership writing and just starting out, but less so the experienced leader looking to hone their skills.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-17 00:00:00 Ty Iffert I do like this one. I am an admirer of history and military history, and particularly loved the leadership angle from that perspective. My only complaint with this book is that it is more of a broad overview, and really does not get into detail. I will recommend this book for others, however, it may be a good book for the first time leader, or younger people wanting to focus on learning basic leadership traits. As long as people go into this book realizing it will not be as much material as well regarded leadership classics, there is some basic lessons to be learned. From my experience in the professional world, and as a manager/leader, too many people are not in tuned with the basics. The bottom line is that even for an experienced manager, they can still learn from this book.
