From Publishers Weekly

Colonel Jo B. Rusin, U.S. Army (Ret.), knows what it means to be a pioneer. When she commanded a brigade during Desert Storm, she became the most senior woman ever to have led in battle. Rusin originally intended her book, Move to the Front: A Guide to Success for the Working Woman, to provide guidance to other women soldiers, but she knew its message would be valuable for women in the battlefield of the workplace, and indeed it is. Following her first piece of advice "don't be afraid" Rusin guides the reader through the straight and narrow of the martial trenches, though each of her military examples illustrates what women can do to succeed in any job anywhere.

This review is from: Move to the Front: Military Leadership Secrets from a Woman Soldier (Hardcover)

Move to the Front is a must read for not only women who wish to be successful in business (or military) today, but for men who want to learn how to interact effectively with the other half of the working force. Jo Rusin gives clear, concise, and valuable information on how to be a team player, how to develop the proper attitude for success, and how to handle situations which arise when playing by long established male rules of the game. A well written book filled with excellent examples, it is highly recommended.

I really feel like this is a "must read" for any women in the military. It is a short book that gives the reader a good insight into what they need to do to make it as a career Soldier. I passed my book onto another women leader.
