Critic reviews

"Platoons seal the fate of armies." (S. L. A. Marshall)

Leading at the Lowest Local Level

Fascinating look into Army Small Unit leadership. Applies to just about any organization, civilian or not, and gives you an idea how to lead at the lowest local levels.

Leadership skills for the real world.

Loved this book. Ended up buying a hard copy for future reference. No fluffy Kombi gimmicks.

Great for Army Leaders

Great book for army Leaders and a must on eading lists for NCOs. It will be added to my reading list for subordinates.

A must read for anyone in military leadership.

This is require reading for my OCS class. It has a lot of invaluable information on how to lead a small unit effectively. Will refer back to this book often.

A perfect read for the Plt Cmdr and lower leader

This book does a great job of establishing the foundation for incoming junior officers and newly promoted NCOs. A great refresher for TBS graduates on a lot of things we forgot we learned

Great instruction in basic leadership.

leasership skills that can ve applied in any job situation not just the military. IT managers would do well to read this book.

Terrible narrator

I assumed the author narrated this audio book because the performance was so cringeworthy. The content is great, but it was a pain to listen to. Just get a hard copy.
