Synopsis

As commander of the Third Army, General George S. Patton, Jr.'s wartime success inspired the remarkable performance of his troops, and the grudging admiration of his enemies. Having stormed across France and Germany with lightning speed, Patton revealed himself as a courageous warrior, a gifted strategist, an inspiring communicator, a masterful motivator, and, most importantly, a brilliant leader.

Patton On Leadership distills Patton's brilliance into essential lessons every leader must know to win in today's merciless corporate wars.

Vibrant with the earthy wit and wisdom that was Patton's hallmark, these lessons show managers how to develop and project a leadership image, communicate effectively across large organizations, establish clear priorities, build a winning team, mentor future leaders, resolve conflict, sustain optimum performance against all obstacles, and instill the kind of loyalty that inspires consistent outstanding achievement.

In a work equally engaging to current or future managers and history buffs alike, General Patton's leadership in battle is turned into the ultimate manual for victory.

Throw Good to Great and all the other boring business books away. This slim volume speaks volumes, not only to Patton's leadership, but what lessons we can learn in the business world. I have recommended this to all my managers and to all those who want to make a real difference.......more

Goodreads review by Steven on June 18, 2018

The make up of the book with Patton quotes followed by an explanation made it an easy read. The best things I took away were points that seemed to be drops in a very large breadth of information. They were: - start off new people with positivity about the organization - make sure people understand whe......more
