Summary : Leading The Charge - tony Zinni and tony Koltz: Leadership Lessons From the Battlefield to the Boardroom

This work offers a summary of the book "LEADING THE CHARGE: Leadership Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom" by TONY ZINNI and TONY KOLTZ.At one time, Zinni and Koltz argue, leadership was mostly about character, but character alone won't be enough any more: today's world is noteworthy for a challenging worldwide economy, the collapse of iconic companies which have been in business for decades and the ever increasing threat of global terrorism.

Tomorrow's most successful leaders will have to negotiate a far more fluid world.

In Leading the Charge, Zinni and Koltz explain eleven qualities the most successful leaders in recent times have cultivated.

For example, great leaders are constantly assessing themselves, because they see their job as a calling.

They are also ethical: leaders who treat everyone with respect will gain the trust and loyalty of employees, suppliers and customers.

With the advent of social media, employees have power like never before, therefore great leaders understand that they must earn their esteem.

Excellent leaders take every opportunity to get out into their market environment and to cut out wasteful processes.

Leaders not only have to be good communicators, they have to communicate action.

It's vital for every executive to have the full potential of their organisation.

Leading the Charge is a persuasive and worthwhile read on the subject.
