Average Customer Rating: Military Knowledge | Customer Rating: |
For anyone going into the Military , or making the Military A Career this is A great companion. | Field Manual | Customer Rating: | | A good book that clearly delivers what its supposed to... The book although covering many things that one should know just by being in the military also expands on numerous other finer points. The book is especially useful once you advance to become an NCO or go to OCS somewhere in your career. I would also recommend this book to anybody currently in ROTC or thinking about a career as an officer. | Incomplete Book: no Appendix C | Customer Rating: | I'm highly dissappointed about this book. It makes good reference to all leadership issues and is of course a good recopilation of theories and practical recommendations about leader's behavior and the expectations he must fulfill, but sends the reader with high frequency to "Appendix C", which is not included in the book. I feel like I got a fragment of the publication at the complete price. The worst of my purchases. | Practical Leadership | Customer Rating: | | This manual has evolved over the years, and while it extrapolates from the theories of Transformational/Transactional Leadership, it gets down to where the "rubber meets the road." This is leadership 101 in practical application with many real world examples inserted in key places to demonstrate that this is not just "hot air" to pump up some author's ego blimp. While this may be a military focused book, with a clear sense of situations (while not life threatening) one can interpolate the stressful leadership issues in a civilian context that can have dire personal economic consequences. This book will "Git 'er done!" | Excellent | Customer Rating: | | Reads just like the Army manuel we received in the military but in laymans terms. | | |
