Backed by researches in organizational behavior and group dynamics, these ‘How to’, ‘Why’ and ‘Why not’ hacks will change your leadership and management style forever. The book covers essential knowledge and techniques for the one-to-one processes between the leader and team, the one-to-many group processes, organization development, leader behaviour, better thinking & decision making and finally, topics of specific interest to the combat leader. Not bromides and clichés, but specific step-by-step guidance that helps teams in military and business alike. The book has a real-world touch and demolishes many myths. Each chapter is a stand-alone; complete and useful by itself. Numerous anecdotes, analogies and quotes make the book racy and lively reading.
Grab it and race ahead of the pack. Follow these instructions and the men will literally die for you.
