(More customer reviews)It is hard/cold/ethical/no-nonsense leadership principles.
There is a difference between being a leader and being a manager.
I wish colleges (all arenas including masters in business) taught a class that had this information in it. It is my observation that leadership training of this nature is only taught at high $$ seminars and at Military War Colleges. This book is a high $$ seminar for pennies on the dollar. I keep it on my desk beside my computer monitor and read a page every day then reread the previous day's page. Two minutes in the morning and I now find myself unconsciously following the ideas/concepts I read earlier in the week.
I found myself wanting more meat with every page. . . that is not the design of this book. I am sending a copy to my nephew who just graduated the Naval Academy.

This collection of General Patton's "one liners" shows how business managers can succeed by applying the combat tested principles of one of American's greatest military leaders. General Patton was a professional soldier who spent his life inspiring people to accompllish the seemingly impossible. Now business managers can use his secrets to motivate their employees. The author uses brief quotes from the General to explain their inner philosophy and to obtain greater performance and productivity from employees. The book also presents corresponding references to both W. Edwards Deming and Walter A. Shewhart, two of America's experts on the subject of statistical quality control. This is not surprising when it is realized that fundamental principles of both military leadership and business management are universal.
