From Baird Maritime
Leadership is a very nebulous concept. Some say it is a talent. Others that it is inherent. Some that it can be learned from mentor example and still others, that it can be taught through books and in class.
The delightful little book, designed for junior officers in the US Navy, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine, obviously veers toward the latter but, in doing so, it provides endless illustrations of mentor example.
Incorporating hundreds of pithy but really good examples of incidents that really make a leader, the author has picked the brains of 380 senior sea-going officers. Above all, the examples they have provided, show the value of humanity.
Interspersed among them are dozens of punchy epithets from the mouths or pens of three millennia of the great and good.
Of great value to a much wider audience than that for which it was originally intended.
