Whatever else this book is, it's very much a self-help book, as the interstices between the book suggestions are filled with little recommendations for keeping one's self fit in body and spirit. Besides that you can call this a snapshot of the mental furniture of a generation of flag-rank officers in the U.S. military, who, by this point in time, have either left the service or are soon to do so. Keeping this in mind, the authors very thoughtfully include an essay on what junior-grade U.S. officers were reading at the time of publication; I found it very interesting that Jean Larteguy's "The Centurions," a novel about military service in France's failed wars to retain its empire, is apparently highly regarded. If there is a gap, one suspects that female officers have their own classics that are particularly relevant to them, and that are not reflected in this work.

"For the last several years Adm. James Stavridis and his co-author, R. Manning Ancell, have surveyed over two hundred active and retired four-star military officers about their reading habits and favorite books, asking each for a list of titles that strongly influenced their leadership skills and provided them with special insights that helped propel them to success in spite of the many demanding challenges they faced. The Leader's Bookshelf synthesizes their responses to identify the top fifty books that can help virtually anyone become a better leader. Each of the works--novels, memoirs, biographies, autobiographies, management publications--are summarized and the key leadership lessons extracted and presented. Whether individuals work their way through the entire list and read each book cover to cover, or read the summaries provided to determine which appeal to them most, The Leader's Bookshelf will provide a roadmap to better leadership. Highlighting the value of reading in both a philosophical and a practical sense, The Leader's Bookshelf provides sound advice on how to build an extensive library, lists other books worth reading to improve leadership skills, and analyzes how leaders use what they read to achieve their goals. An efficient way to sample some of literature's greatest works and to determine which ones can help individuals climb the ladder of success, The Leader's Bookshelf is for anyone who wants to improve his or her ability to lead--whether in family life, professional endeavors, or within society and civic organizations"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
