Hope Is Not a Method

What Business Leaders Can Learn from America's Army

De: Gordon R. Sullivan, Michael V. Harper

Narrado por: Gordon R Sullivan

In Hope Is not a Method, Sullivan and co-author Colonel Michael Harper tell us how they kept the army well-trained and equipped for traditional functions while preparing it for a wide range of new and complicated missions, all in the midst of a dramatic reduction in both human and financial resources.

Their approach is based on continuity and change: maintaining their focus on the army's historic vision and values while introducing new problem-solving techniques and training methods.

Excellent book

I must read for every leader and their invaluable teams. Sincere appreciation to all our men and women who serve our country.

Best book I’ve read on Management

I re-listen to this book periodically to move it’s learnings forward in my thoughts.

The mixture of management precepts bolstered by historical stories and the authors experiences weave a compelling framework for the why and how of the art of management.

The best!

Platitudes

2.5 Stars. It's well written, but I learned little. Lots of business platitudes and brief case histories without in-depth studies of changes in the army.

Boring

One of the narrators was very robotic and boring. The material is dry and not very helpful.
