Why you should read Secrets of Special Ops Leadership
The market for "military metaphor" leadership books is saturated, but retired Major General William A. Cohen issues a worthy, if not outstanding, addition to the field. It reflects painstaking work by its highly qualified author, a former special ops pilot who has gathered stories from virtually every field of human endeavor to illustrate his leadership principles. Strong in its depth of detailed and inspirational anecdotes, particularly from the annals of military history, this book is less effective at describing how managers specifically can apply its principles to their daily business lives. This is a routine shortcoming of the genre, which tends to offer more shots than targets. getAbstract.com recommends this book to managers and executives seeking inspiration, rather than specific business advice, and to leaders who enjoy military history and vivid war stories.
