Summary: Just good reading material
Review: Not only does the book contain need-to-know information for every leader, it is just as well entertaining and engaging for the reader. The standards are addressed exactly how they are practiced in the real world. Only the most accomplished leaders would be able to read through without learning anything.

Summary: Great Realistic Information
Review: At last, a leadership book that doesn't have alot of corporate stuff in it. I get really tired of those volumes that have the samurai way, or the military way, or whatever, and then start talking about sales figures and meetings. This one literally is about leading military units, with specifics and an explanation of the broader concept of what leadership is for and how each leader in the chain of command fits together to achieve the goals of the army.I am a squad leader in the police academy, a para-military outfit, and the ideas and advice in this book helped me out alot. I heartily recommend it for anyone facing an NCO billet of any kind.

Summary: Excellent for experienced and novice leaders alike
Review: COL Malone did the Army a great service in the field of leadership besides writing this book. Unfortunately, he passed on a few years ago. This book is helpful to anyone in a military leadership position, but its utility for non-military is a bit limited. I heavily recommend it for the young officer about to take over his first platoon or company and the young Specialist about to take over his first fire team. The section on how to ask questions is worth the price of the book alone.

Summary: Must read book for anyone in a leadership position.
Review: Col. Dandridge has written an excellent book on how to not only lead a military unit but people. He combines techniques and real world experiences to educated the reader.

Summary: Col. Dandridge Malone never was a General by choice
Review: I am the granddaughter of the late Col. Dandridge M. Malone, and he was, by far, the most amazing man I have ever known. He believed that the soldier was the most important part of the army, and dedicated his life to bringing this to light. He chose not to be promoted to General when the opportunity arose. A great man needn't look at his rank to know he is great.

Summary: If the author knows about leadership, why's he not a general
Review: I really was discourgaed to continue reading this book during the 1st chapter because it was mainly boring stories. After reading the book the 1st chapter played an important role throughout the book and it is a great book for officers, nco's, or future military personnel. Great buy!

Summary: So True
Review: I talked to recruiters yesterday and they had this book, but they didnt give it to me since it is theirs and not for propoganda. So i picked it up in the library and have read the first ten pages and am already amazed at what they are doing.
