One of the best books to come along on leadership

Truly outstanding. Well written and presented. The material is coherant and applicable. You can implement what you learn right away. I would highly recommend this book to anyone working on developing themselves as a leader. A must read for junior military officers.

Cohen knows what it takes to be a good leader.

W. Cohen knows what it takes to be a good leader and he knows how to write about it. I would call this the difinitive textbook for anyone who wishes to learn how to lead. The combat model of leadership works no matter what type of organization you join.

This is an outstanding book.

This is an outstanding book on leadership.I first read it back in 89 and have re-read it twice since. It cuts through all the b.s. of today's trendy leadership books you see in the business management sections in the book stores. Cohen's teachings have stayed with me since that first reading and I believe this is a book that one should refer back to from time to time. Having served in the military, I can relate to his combat model of leadership. I've seen good leadership and bad. The leaders who possessed the traits that Cohen describes in his book were the good ones-hard but fair. I hope Cohen writes a follow-up.

Worth reading for those interested in leadership

I've read a lot of books on this subject and can honestly say that this book kept my attention. William Cohen utilizes his Army background and has created a book that I could us
