5.0 out of 5 starsMust Read For Leaders at All Levels!
By S. Miska on April 3, 2002
Format: Paperback
This book is a fantastic compendium of essays on leadership, specifically as it applies to the military experience. Chris Kolenda compiles a list of some of the most talented senior and junior leaders today, both in and out of uniform, as well as renowned historians. The vast majority of the authors taught at the U.S. Military Academy during some point in their career, ranging from the Departments of History, Social Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences & Leadership, to the Department of Physical Education.
The book is comprised of three major sections, 1) Ancient and Modern Concepts of Leadership, 2) Historical Case Studies, and 3) Contemporary Experiences and Reflections on Leadership, with author biographies, endnotes and index at the back. General (Retired) Barry McCaffrey wrote the foreword, while Lieutenant General (Retired) Walter Ulmer wrote the Introduction. The authors consist of such leaders as LTG Daniel Christman, former Superintendent of West Point, General (Retired) Gordon Sullivan, former Chief of Staff of the Army, and Professor Frederick Kagan, just to name a few.
This work contains a tremendous selection of thoughts and experiences on the art of leading soldiers. I will keep it on my shelf to refer to time and time again. As the editor writes in the preface, "developing the vibrant intellectual core from which a leader can draw insight into the art of leadership requires the courage and humility to immerse oneself in the ideas and experiences of others." Leadership: The Warrior's Art acts as a tremendous vehicle toward achieving that end.
Highly recommended for the military professional!

4.0 out of 5 starsI enjoyed reading them
By J. Marshall on March 12, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A set of essays. I enjoyed reading them. Thought provoking and I can see this as a 'text book' to generate discussion and debate. I am not a military professional, just a low level veteran, but I worked for and with many current and former military leaders that covered a spectrum of experiences. I became more and more impressed with the ever increasing quality of persons in all the services. So, this was part of my appreciating some of their thought paradigms as well as personal reflection.

5.0 out of 5 starsUNDERSTAND LEADERSHIP'S FOUNDATION!
By Brace E. Barber on January 2, 2002
Format: Hardcover
Chris Kolenda has put together a fantastic study of leadership that kept the cap off of my highlighter. "The Warrior's Art" gives the most in depth and comprehensive look at leadership that I've seen. If you want to lead and not just manage, you MUST HAVE THIS BOOK.
The book encapsulates the leadership studies of the great philosophers to allow the reader to rediscover the foundations of leadership. These insights are priceless and allow the true student of leadership (private sector or military) to see through the clutter of modern philosophies into what a leader really needs to do to make an organization or team work. Some of the most accomplished leaders in America follow with studies that give further historical insight and a look into the future. It is important to note that there are no step by step instructions and Chris and the other incredible authors allow you to evaluate the lessons and how you can apply them on your own.
BRAVO!

5.0 out of 5 starsEssential reding
By Der Graf on September 28, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The compilation of essays on military leadership edited by Mr. Kolenda ought to be among the "essential reading" books on the shelves of anyone aspiring to leadership in any form, in any walk of life. "Warrior" in the title deceives, even though warriors have practiced the art through millennia, and many became its masters. Civilians would gain substantially by learning from those who never perused a "how-to" treatise on leadership, and often paid for lessons with their own blood rather than the declined value of corporate shares. Kolenda's book contains a series of such lessons, and the price is cheap: one evening spent on excellent reading, and not a drop of blood spilled. Yet, every "Boardroom Warrior" will discover a lot of highly practical wisdom in this unassuming volume. Maybe, then, the "Warrior" in the title does not deceive after all.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read for anyone interest in Leadership
By Penny on January 20, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
You don't need to be a veteran or in the service to understand the principals of this book. This is my favorite book on Leadership; I have recommended it for years and have bought several copies as promotion gifts. My copy is tabbed out and is overly worn as a result of my routine re-reading.

This book provides common sense approaches to improving moral, understanding influence, motivation and gives techniques to improve both. The use history to bring the points home is just an added bonus.

5.0 out of 5 starsDistinguishes Itself in a Genre Full of Other Books
By Guerrilla Reader VINE VOICE on March 9, 2011
Format: Paperback
Review of: "Leadership: The Warrior's Art," by Christopher Kolenda.

I found this book in a rack surrounded by numerous other texts dedicated to the art of military leadership. After thumbing through it I could tell that the format and content were unique, interesting and (to me) captivating. I really enjoyed the fact that Major Kolenda chose to author one and edit eighteen other chapters authored by current and former military professionals & historians. The text is broken down into three major sections that guide the reader through the various stages, perspectives, and examples of leadership: 1. Ancient and Modern Concepts of Leadership; 2. Historical Case Studies; and 3. Contemporary Experiences and Reflections on Leadership. This text is not comprised of dry narrative. Because the various chapters (essays) provide the reader with requisite examples and the real life lessons learned I found this book to be one of the finest works I have read on the topic of Leadership that can be applied to military, business, or law enforcement endeavors. Five stars without hesitation or reservation.
