An old 19K here and the book spoke to me.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. All Small Unit Leaders Should Read thisBy J. GlassThis is probably the best book I have ever read on how to mold your small unit. I first read this book over 15 years ago and it totally changed my leadership style. I loaned it to my squad leaders who promptly kept it for their own use. I have bought and gifted several of these books over the years and to a man everyone has said it was a real eye-opener. This book should be mandatory reading at the Warrior Leaders Course (formerly PLDC/PNCOC and whatever else the other services call their first leadership course) and probably for cadets and OBC officers. Some of the training information is dated (OK it is all from the Vietnam era and some early 70s and early 80s stuff) but fight through that to the meat of the book - a blueprint for leading combat Soldiers. Retired Army First Sergeant is my qualification to comment on this.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. So good I had to buy it a second timeBy A. CarlsonI first purchased this book last December and made it half-way through before I "forgot" it at a bar during the Vikings loss to New Orleans. The book was so good that I had to buy it again to finish it.Quite simply; Small Unit Leadership is a training manual for leadership. I've never been in the military; but feel this leadership guide translates just as well to the business world. It's not like those fluffy; self-helpish books generally written for business leadership. (You know the ones: more feel-good stories; less substance). Think about it; no other organization has made a systematic study of leadership the way the military has. I can picture myself teaching from this book as a textbook someday in a leadership course in business school.The book is written in a clear and concise manner. It lays out in detail the purpose of leadership; how to develop your subordinates; how to understand their styles and develop high performing teams; followed by a detailed list of "how to's."Five stars.
