Book Overview
General Rick Hillier's views on leadership evolved over histhree decades as a soldier, first by watching many of hissuperiors make bad decisions, then by learning from the schoolof hard knocks as the head of emergency rescue operations inCanada and international task forces in eastern Europe andAfghanistan. Never one to be shy with his opinions, Hillier isas frank and straightforward in Leadership as he is inhis #1 bestselling memoir, A Soldier First . For Hillier, leadership is all about people -- embracingthose in your charge and winning over those you need to workwith -- not about risk aversion or management fads. Leadersthink long, and have a vision. Their actions speak, not theirwords, and they make their own luck. But leaders also act out ofmoral courage, accept failure, take advantage of crisis and areperpetually optimistic. Leadership is an inspirational, easy-to-read and, intrue Hillier fashion, always entertaining collection of principlesthat will challenge the way you run your business, start a projector take that next step in life.

So many run-on sentences...
Published by Katelyn , 5 years ago
I could not get through this. I'm sure the author would be inspiring in person, but the run-on sentences alone are enough to stop a grammatically minded person.
The content is not as bad as the editing, but it tends toward vague fluff. Over-arching ideas and personal stories about different people he knew while serving in the Canadian army. I think I was looking for more practical advice and statistics. Do not recommend.
