A guide to developing value-centered leadership.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The West Point Way of Leadership (Audio Cassette)
Donnithorne has provided a practical and concise work on developing value-centered leadership in any organization. He addresses the issues of leadership within a moral and ethical context by: 1. Reviewing West Point's approach to teaching value-centered leadership (which is enjoyable to read about in-and-of-itself). 2. Providing anecdotal examples from his own life as a military engineer who has worked in combat. 3. Providing examples in a variety of practical business settings, many which will be recognized by the reader. 4. And, providing the reader with a summary of key questions which lead to the core of value-driven leadership. Throughout the book, Donnithorne references a wide array of current and past literature validating and providing substance and context for the methods developed by West Point.Any individual who has experienced the trials, tribulations and rewards of leadership will recognize much of the fundamental truths found in Donnithorne's effort. Credibility also comes from Donnithorne's own experience as a successful military officer, teacher and college president. He is not an academic who has studied leadership patterns, etc. He is a practical, experienced leader who brings depth to his words by sharing interesting and heartfelt anecdotes from his own life. This is a must read for anyone interested in the moral, ethical and value-centered aspects of leadership and organizational life.

A Good Overview of Military Leadership & Management Style,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The West Point Way of Leadership (Audio Cassette)
I enjoyed learning about the Military method of training, developing and teaching people to lead and manage. Based on the synopsis, I was hoping to see how the Military leadership styles worked in the business world. But the examples of business applications were somewhat limited. Overall an interesting book
