5.0 out of 5 stars As described and arrived on time
Very interesting as an evolved view of military leadership - the servant leader rather than the heroic one. Would particularly recommend to any working in Education. The 3 pillars of modern army Leadership: 1.Values-based Leadership (within the values are Respect for Others and Acceptable Behaviour). 2. Mission Command - where decentralisation and subordinate initiative are to the fore. 3. Servant Leadership - 'if they don't care for their people, they can't ask them to do tough things.' All in all a very interesting read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read for any leadership role
I am not in the military but I do hold a leadership position in the emergency services. I found this book an excellent source of knowledge. I have taken numerous notes and will most certainly use the content to my advantage. It is an easy and enjoyable read that is full of extremely useful leadership guidance in any field.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent insight.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable insightful read into the differing leadership styles needed to succeed at varying levels of the British Army. While those who have served will undoubtedly relate, the leader who works in the private or public sector will be able to take much from this book. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was that it did get a bit repetitive towards the end, but a worthwhile read all the same.

Book Review
One of the finest books on leadership that I have read. My father was in the Military in the US and he always use to tell me the principles of leadership in the Military can be used in business and non profit worlds. Having been in Church ministry for the past ten years, I have utilized a lot of what I have read and learned from the Centre for Army Leadership podcasts and readings. Highly recommend reading this book

This book is an excellent read for newly minted managers, like me! Servant leadership is the best way to lead people.
