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 contemporary security environment is characterized by an increase in complexity, shifting dynamics and a rising number of wars being carried out in a vague and flexible warfare environment. Naturally, this requires military leaders to adapt more rapidly to the challenges than ever before; today, army commanders have to behave more like diplomats, intellectuals, academics, and technicians in this respect. This book provides an eclectic and analytic conceptional study regarding military leadership and its components and dynamics. This work on the phenomenon of military leadership is a valuable original reference book for academics, scientists, students, and professional members of the armed forces, as well as for anyone else interested in personal development issues. This second edition includes two new chapters (‘On The Basic Leadership Requirements That Today’s Leaders Are Expected To Possess’ and ‘From Authoritarian To Authentic Military Leadership’), and updated versions of many chapters from the first edition.

Book Description
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. The book illustrates that great leaders become great through conscious effort—a commitment not only to develop vital skills but also to surmount personal shortcomings. Harry S. Laver, Jeffrey J. 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.

Book Description
In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

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.

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.

Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of My Share of the Task and Leaders, a manual for leaders looking to make their teams more adaptable, agile, and unified in the midst of change. When General Stanley McChrystal took command of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in 2004, he quickly realized that conventional military tactics were failing. Al Qaeda in Iraq was a decentralized network that could move quickly, strike ruthlessly, then seemingly vanish into the local population. The allied forces had a huge advantage in numbers, equipment, and training—but none of that seemed to matter. To defeat Al Qaeda, they would have to combine the power of the world’s mightiest military with the agility of the world’s most fearsome terrorist network. They would have to become a "team of teams"—faster, flatter, and more flexible than ever. In Team of Teams, McChrystal and his colleagues show how the challenges they faced in Iraq can be relevant to countless businesses, nonprofits, and organizations today. In periods of unprecedented crisis, leaders need practical management practices that can scale to thousands of people—and fast. By giving small groups the freedom to experiment and share what they learn across the entire organization, teams can respond more quickly, communicate more freely, and make better and faster decisions. Drawing on compelling examples—from NASA to hospital emergency rooms—Team of Teams makes the case for merging the power of a large corporation with the agility of a small team to transform any organization.
