Описание: General Andrew J. Goodpaster (1915-2005) was a brilliant military leader, a scholar and, most of all, an exceptional presidential adviser who served under seven successive administrations. A respected strategist, he participated at the highest levels of government in many of the most important decisions of the second half of the twentieth century. As President Eisenhower's Staff Secretary, he was the de facto originator of the National Security Council process and served as a mentor and role model to his successors down to the present day. He was involved in many security challenges, such as establishing and sustaining NATO, planning for nuclear weapons and arms control, and implementing d tente. He developed a collaborative method of approaching national security affairs --a style that reflected a strong capacity to engage effectively the necessary people to work together to achieve the best possible outcomes. In doing so, he learned and taught best practices in national security that still influence decision making today. This biography shows the importance of experienced soldier-scholars with high integrity on national security teams and provides the first systematic mining of the documents Goodpaster wrote on national security. Organized chronologically, it demonstrates how Goodpaster was able to adapt best practices to a constantly changing political, military, economic and technological environment. It also explains why he was so frequently selected as an insider in national security decision making. His life and work reveal how best to approach complex national security problems and the kind of collaborative leadership needed to get the job done. Still today, his method confirms General Scowcroft's view that Goodpaster is "too important to ignore."

Описание: This is a book about leadership. Leading one's self. Leading a team. Leading a project or event. Leading an entire organization. It's about leading in a deliberate and disciplined way. Using a structured approach. Most of all, this book is about results. Making progress. Moving, as the title suggests, from zero to something, both at work and in life. As a retired soldier and longtime HR and training executive, I realize Zero to Something is probably the eleventy billionth leadership book on the market. I have read and prescribed many of them during my 30-some-year leadership career. This book, of course, is different. Better. It's the definitive take on leadership. The book to replace all other leadership books. Well, not really. But such hyperbole sure sounds good, doesn't it? That's the Donald Trump School of Leadership: simply exude uber-confidence in all matters and situations, and others will surely follow or at least buy what you're selling. The truth, in my view, is that confidence AND humility are both cornerstones of great leadership. So, while I do passionately believe in the tenets of this book (after all, they've served me well personally), I am not na ve. No book can hold all the truths of leadership. There is no such code to be cracked. Leadership, rather, is a deeply personal and individual human affair. As such, the goal of my book is to share the leadership approach I have developed over time and, in doing so, help you start or continue on your own personal path. Inside the book, you will indeed find strategies, tactics and nuggets of wisdom that owe their origins to other people and other books. You will find even more insights based on my years of personal experience, trial and error. Most importantly, you will see how I have packaged what I learned into a framework or approach that can be internalized and applied to virtually any leadership situation. My hope is that you will immediately and directly apply the Zero to Something approach and that it will be a catalyst for further development. As you accumulate experiences, work with mentors and develop your own personalized approach, I am confident Zero to Something will remain a cornerstone of your leadership foundation.
