From a longtime leader in both military and business organizations, lessons inspired by World War II history that anyone can use.
This practical book explores seven essential leadership principles that all successful leaders use, drawing from the compelling story of the Allied invasion of Normandy. Learn how you can put these same principles to work today as a leader in your own organization, your community, or your personal life.
The epic story of D-Day has been well chronicled over the years since the war ended. The first accounts were recorded by unit “after action reports,” official Army historians, and journalists at the time. Later historians have written numerous books and articles on every aspect of the Normandy battles. Hundreds of movies and documentaries have since portrayed the events. Some of these accounts focus on specific aspects of the battle or various unit actions. Other accounts focus on the overall campaign or the larger-than-life personalities of the generals. Many of these are well-researched versions of the story supported by actual eyewitness reports and archived official documents.
So why do we need yet another book on D-Day? What more can be told about these events that has not already been told? What else can be researched and discovered that has not already been uncovered by the diligent historians whose studies have lasted longer than the events themselves? These are logical questions one might ask when one goes to a bookstore or library and discovers the rows of books on the subject already in print.
The answer is easy. This is not just another book that simply retells the story. This book is written as a “Staff Ride.” Staff Rides are a way of studying historical accounts and drawing lessons for the present.
