Leader Business: Battle-Tested Leadership Strategies For Any Organization

by Thomas Henry Magness

Every year, ineffective leadership costs American companies hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue, missed opportunities, preventable waste, and poor personnel decisions. How’s your leadership? Are you getting the results you need? If not, maybe it’s time for some basic training in leadership fundamentals. Drawing on over 25 years of military service, Tom Magness offers lessons learned in one of the world’s foremost leadership the U.S. Army. From the unforgiving environment of the National Training Center to Ranger training in the Florida swamps to the life-and-death stakes of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Leader Business examines how executives can use military leadership principles to achieve success in any organization. Leader Business takes the same proven four-step framework the Army uses to develop its leaders and applies it to the business world. You’ll learn how • Plan an ambitious vision and get employee buy-in. • Prepare your team for “battle” by empowering them to take ACTION. • Execute winning strategies and adapt to changing conditions. • Learn the right lessons from every situation. These are the same battle-tested leadership practices used by the military leaders who earn high marks from the nation they serve. That’s the power of Leader Business.
