Book Description
This book provides an eclectic and meta-analytic study on the factors affecting military leadership and its components, taking into account both current and future security paradigms. The contemporary security environment is characterized by an increase in the number of wars, and more human-induced problems than ever before. The first duty of armies today is generally the establishment of security. Today’s battles are carried out in a vague and flexible warfare environment, which can be transformed rapidly. For this reason, military leaders need to be more versatile, with rapid decision-making capacities. In order to realize their duties, they have to focus more on the quality of their military leadership, which is critical to the establishment of secure and peaceful environments. Today, high-level army commanders have to behave more like diplomats, intellectuals and academics than ever before.

Book Description
The current security environment is characterized by an increase in the number of wars and other human-generated problems that threaten the lives and peaceful co-existence of the human race. With the military tasked to stabilize the current security environment, the quality of the military leadership becomes increasingly important to ensure the success of this tasking. Today's deployment-focused and fast-paced army requires leaders who prioritize in a ready and trained unit as well as focusing on competitive intelligence in the military decision-making process and executing the current operation. This book aims to prepare a textbook for military students to understand the challenges for military leadership for each level of leadership. This book will support this goal through specifically focusing on the necessity of competitive intelligence in military decision-making process and executing current operations; the challenging role of military leadership in the current security environment translating the feedback from military leaders into effective applications prioritizing leader development activities in curbing challenges related to military leadership; integrating the leadership development into day to day activities; and integrating fruitful and experienced leader attributes and competencies across the development of Army leaders in military schools. The book will provide the military students with detailed information and knowledge on the current security environment, as well as the challenges of military leadership. Contrary to other books on military leadership that does not focus on the wider areas that affect the military leadership, this book will provide readers with a wealth of information on the paradigm of the army and its leadership in the current security environment. The book draws upon the contribution of successful military leaders, recent studies focusing on the army leadership, academic sources on military regulations and doctrine, and research on military best practices. A downloadable version of the book will be available, and a page will be designed to allow users to provide feedback.

The Art of Command
Author: Harry Laver
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky

What essential leadership lessons do we learn by distilling the actions and ideas of great military commanders such as George Washington, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Colin Powell? That is the fundamental question underlying The Art of Command: Military Leadership from George Washington to Colin Powell.

Matthews, and the other contributing authors identify nine core characteristics of highly effective leadership, such as integrity, determination, vision, and charisma, and nine significant figures in American military history whose careers embody those qualities. The Art of Command examines each figure’s strengths and weaknesses and how those attributes affected their leadership abilities, offering a unique perspective of military leadership in American history. Laver and Matthews have assembled a list of contributors from military, academic, and professional circles, which allows the book to encompass diverse approaches to the study of leadership.

On War and Leadership
Author: Michael Owen Connelly
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400825164
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
What can we learn about leadership and the experience of war from the best combat leaders the world has ever known? This book takes us behind the scenes and to the front lines of the major wars of the past 250 years through the words of twenty combat commanders. What they have to say--which is remarkably similar across generational, national, and ideological divides--is a fascinating take on military history by those who lived it. It is also worthwhile reading for anyone, from any walk of life, who makes executive decisions. The leaders showcased here range from Frederick the Great to Norman Schwarzkopf. They include such diverse figures as Napoleon Bonaparte, commanders on both sides of the Civil War (William Tecumseh Sherman and Stonewall Jackson), German and American World War II generals (Rommel and Patton), a veteran of the Arab-Israeli wars (Moshe Dayan), and leaders from both sides of the Vietnam War (Vo Nguyen Giap and Harold Moore). What they have had in common is an unrivaled understanding of the art of command and a willingness to lead from the front. All earned the respect and loyalty of those they led--and moved them to risk death. The practices of these commanders apply to any leadership situation, whether military, business, political, athletic, or other. Their words reveal techniques for anticipating the competition, leading through example, taking care of the "troops," staying informed, turning bad luck to advantage, improvising, and making bold decisions. Leader after leader emphasizes the importance of up-front "muddy boots" leadership and reveals what it takes to persevere and win. Identifying a pattern of proven leadership, this book will benefit anyone who aspires to lead a country, a squadron, a company, or a basketball team. It is a unique distillation of two and a half centuries of military wisdom.

Leaders at War
Author: Elizabeth N. Saunders
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801461472
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
One of the most contentious issues in contemporary foreign policy—especially in the United States—is the use of military force to intervene in the domestic affairs of other states. Some military interventions explicitly try to transform the domestic institutions of the states they target; others do not, instead attempting only to reverse foreign policies or resolve disputes without trying to reshape the internal landscape of the target state. In Leaders at War, Elizabeth N. Saunders provides a framework for understanding when and why great powers seek to transform foreign institutions and societies through military interventions. She highlights a crucial but often-overlooked factor in international relations: the role of individual leaders. Saunders argues that leaders' threat perceptions—specifically, whether they believe that threats ultimately originate from the internal characteristics of other states—influence both the decision to intervene and the choice of intervention strategy. These perceptions affect the degree to which leaders use intervention to remake the domestic institutions of target states. Using archival and historical sources, Saunders concentrates on U.S. military interventions during the Cold War, focusing on the presidencies of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. After demonstrating the importance of leaders in this period, she also explores the theory's applicability to other historical and contemporary settings including the post–Cold War period and the war in Iraq.
