Rangers Lead the Way: The Army Rangers' Guide to Leading Your Organization Through Chaos

Rating:
Summary: Insightful!
Review: As an Army Ranger, Dean Hohl endured Ranger School, in which he was forced to figure out how to survive 14 days in the woods with only 14 meals. He later parachuted into Panama during the U.S. invasion. Now a consultant who leads corporate types through Ranger-style boot camps, Hohl and co-author Maryann Karinch make a convincing case that business leaders can benefit from the same type of training Rangers are given. Organizations need leaders who are flexible and communicative, he argues in an engaging and illustrative way. Hohl resists the temptation to dwell too much on his own war stories, although at times he'd do well to rely more on his experiences and less on bloodless summaries of corporate problems seemingly parroted from the business press. We recommend this book to any manager who leads or works with a team. If you wish that your team could act like a Ranger platoon, start reading.

Summary: Ranger Principles DO Lead The Way
Review: This is a very insightful publication. It shows you how to create an action plan and how to follow through with it, all the while using your team mates' various personality types to the team's advantage. Dean has the ability to speak on every man's level and often uses his own real life Ranger experiences to demonstrate the principles he teaches-extremely effective. I have given copies of this book out to my co-workers and friends with great excitement of what they will learn from it.
