Leadership Lessons from West Point

Praise for Leadership Lessons from West Point "A wonderfully impressive book. It's impressive because of the authors' credentials-all are leaders in their own right-and because of their honesty. Rarely will you find more open, self-disclosing discussions of failure, courage, and honor.

We highly recommend it." -Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, coauthors of the best-selling book, The Leadership Challenge "Attention to detail, going about jobs correctly, and understanding that no job is too large or too small are just a few of the major aspects included in the West Point experience . . .
