Publisher Description:
Based on the findings in recently released archive papers and letters, as well as extensive library and historical resources, Alan Axelrod offers a compelling profile of the remarkable leadership discipline of a general often called a military CEO. In fascinating detail, Axelrod reveals that Ike was more than a great military leader; he was also a great executive who could--and did--write a reassuring letter to the mother of a solider one moment and make decisions impacting millions of lives the next.

  • Managing detail without sacrificing the "big picture"
  • Ensuring follow-through to execution
