leadership

There are very few people who have commanded at every level from platoon to army group, particularly in the UK. Given that the current British Army would struggle to deploy a brigade it’s unlikely that there will be many more British Field Marshalls, let along any with the depth of experience of...

Napoleon is one of the military leaders who attracts authors; I assume that – rather like Churchill – any biography or analysis including his name will sell. Similarly, he also possesses an ability to beguile and fascinate military historians of all types and capabilities – some become...

Correlli Barnett’s Leadership In War has been out for a few years now (it was first published in 2012 and then again as a revised edition in 2014). It examines national leaders, both political and military, across a number of wars and is not shy of criticising or praising its subjects. The...

It used to be a mantra at Sandhurst that while leaders may or may not be born or made, everyone benefits from thinking about how they lead, and how they might lead better. If this is true of leadership in highly structured armed forces it is even truer in the more chaotic word of commerce...

The book is written by a retired U.S.Navy officer. It starts by detailing his time in the nuclear-powered submarine fleet, where he served on attack submarines and ballistic missile boats. There was an autocratic top-down leadership in place at the time whereby, if an officer saw a problem...
