Description
The Habit of Excellence: Why British Army Leadership Works The British Army's leadership is renowned for its effectiveness, and now, for the first time, its secrets are being shared. Lieutenant Colonel Langley Sharp, head of the Centre for Army Leadership, distils over three centuries of the Army's experience in the art, science and practice of leadership. In this book, Lt Col Sharp explores the fundamental questions of leadership, including how to build trust and cohesion, achieve a balance between control and delegation, and deliver results in the face of adversity. By examining the latest research in military history, business, sociology, psychology and behavioural science, he reveals the habitual practice of doing what is right, difficult and necessary every single day to build a team, look after the people in it and work towards the next objective. This book offers proven tools and strategies for leaders in any field, challenging popular assumptions about leadership and providing a unique insight into what makes the British Army's leadership so effective.
