You can learn to lead as well as to manage. • Would you much rather be loved or respected? • Can you lead and delegate as per the capabilities of the follower? • Do you decide by intuition or by using Game Theory techniques? • Do you know that too much synergy, consensus and motivational gimmicks are harmful? Col Alok Asthana shares observations from a distinguished, 42-year career in military command, teaching, industry and consultancy. How many consultants and authors you know can boast of such wide hands-on experience as well as academic knowledge? 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.

Each chapter is a stand-alone; complete and useful in itself. Numerous anecdotes, analogies and quotes make the book a racy and lively read. The book is a practitioner’s delight. Grab it and race ahead of the pack. Follow these instructions and the men will literally die for you, even in business organisations.

Leaders Create the Environment by Thomas Guthrie Pdf

Based on his 28 years of Army service in infantry units, Tom Guthrie suggests that leaders of any organization (military, business, sports, etc.) are responsible for creating the environment that enables the organization to succeed and the members in it are developed so that they have future success. While many senior executives are capable of providing their organization a vision and even a strategy on how to get there, not many give that same amount of intellectual energy into what they want their organization to "feel" like; describing the environment that they know will get them to that vision. Tom Guthrie believes that the Environment is a function of Organizational Values, the Climate, and the Culture and that the leader "owns" all of it. E = f (Values + Climate + Culture) This is not a theoretical, rub your chin in deep thought type of book. Tom uses personal and professional examples from his career to bring this idea to life and then offers a practical example of the environment he created while commanding hundreds and even thousands of Soldiers.

George Washington and the Art of Business by Mark McNeilly Pdf

George Washington ranks as one of the great military leaders in history. The character traits he exemplified, and the leadership skills he employed, enabled him to defeat what was then the world's most powerful nation. In this marvelous book, Mark McNeilly shows today's managers how they can learn from Washington's career--both his triumphs and setbacks--to succeed as leaders in their chosen field. McNeilly paints vivid portraits of some of the crucial moments in Washington's military career, from the early debacle on Long Island Heights to the masterstroke at Trenton. There Washington, aided by his use of intelligence and disinformation, and by his great fortitude in the face of truly daunting conditions, routed the Hessians. McNeilly uses these stirring military encounters to underscore Washington's managerial genius: to persuade and inspire, to open up the decision-making process, to seize opportunities when they arise, to persevere when setbacks occurred, and to learn from his mistakes. Indeed, the true value of the book lies in McNeilly's brilliant ability to link military and business strategy, revealing that successful corporate leaders must possess many of the same traits that Washington did. Using examples from the NFL, Cadillac, Coke, Samsung, Embraer, IBM and others, McNeilly shows how business leaders can apply Washington's principles for success. Blending colorful military and business history with crystal-clear commentary, George Washington and the Art of Business belongs of the shelves of all executives who want to hone their leadership skills.

Team of Teams by Gen. Stanley McChrystal,Tantum Collins,David Silverman,Chris Fussell Pdf

From the New York Times bestselling author of My Share of the Task and Leaders, a manual for leaders looking to make their teams more adaptable, agile, and unified in the midst of change. When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training—but none of that seemed to matter. To defeat Al Qaeda, they would have to combine the power of the world’s mightiest military with the agility of the world’s most fearsome terrorist network. They would have to become a "team of teams"—faster, flatter, and more flexible than ever. In Team of Teams, McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be rel­evant to countless businesses, nonprofits, and or­ganizations today. In periods of unprecedented crisis, leaders need practical management practices that can scale to thousands of people—and fast. By giving small groups the freedom to experiment and share what they learn across the entire organiza­tion, teams can respond more quickly, communicate more freely, and make better and faster decisions. Drawing on compelling examples—from NASA to hospital emergency rooms—Team of Teams makes the case for merging the power of a large corporation with the agility of a small team to transform any organization.

The Framework of Military Leadership by Murat Şengöz Pdf

This book provides an eclectic and meta-analytic study on the factors affecting military leadership and its components, taking into account both current and future security paradigms. The contemporary security environment is characterized by an increase in the number of wars, and more human-induced problems than ever before. The first duty of armies today is generally the establishment of security. Today’s battles are carried out in a vague and flexible warfare environment, which can be transformed rapidly. For this reason, military leaders need to be more versatile, with rapid decision-making capacities. In order to realize their duties, they have to focus more on the quality of their military leadership, which is critical to the establishment of secure and peaceful environments. Today, high-level army commanders have to behave more like diplomats, intellectuals and academics than ever before.

Corps Business by David H. Freedman Pdf

Fast. Motivated. Hard-hitting. That's what every business wants to be. And that's why the U.S. Marines excel in every mission American throws at them, no matter how tough the odds. In Corps Business, journalist David H. Freeman identifies the Marine's simple but devastatingly effective principles for managing people and resources -- and ultimately winning. Freedman discusses such techniques as "the rule of three," "managing by end state," and the "70% solution," to show how they can be applied to business solutions.
