Omschrijving
In addition to the co-authors' combined qualifications, including meticulous research and writing in a lucid, easy-to-grasp narrative style, Lessons From the Hanoi Hilton is a tome, the forerunner of future research into the nature of un¬yielding courage and its application to strategic leadership principles." -- Leatherneck "Books like this provide a useful guide to complement other work being done to prepare Canadian troops for future challenges. Recommended." --Canadian Naval Review "What is your 'tap code'? Any leader or organization should ask that question about the way they communicate. Peter Fretwell and Taylor Kiland lay this out for us as they describe the leadership characteristics of true American heroes. Honor and mission focus should be embedded in everyone's 'tap code.'" --Vice Adm. Cutler Dawson, USN (Ret.), president/CEO of Navy Federal Credit Union "I can think of no better lens on leadership than the lessons of Adm. Jim Stockdale and how he built a sustainable high-performance culture in the most extreme circumstances. Stockdale epitomized the very highest levels of integrity, honor, discipline, and love; I continually draw strength, resilience, and practical guidance from his inspired example. Learn his lessons, employ them, and you will be better." -- Jim Collins, author or coauthor of six books, including international bestsellers Good to Great, Built to Last, and How the Mighty Fall "I have had experience in a range of public and private sector organizations. In every case a handful of leadership qualities were critical to the success of the organization, and the qualities displayed by the POWs were similar: culture, sustained focus, teamwork, adaptability, and communication. These qualities were evident in the Hanoi Hilton and integral to high-performing commercial organizations everywhere." -- Philip Odeen, former CEO of TRW and member of the board of directors of AES Corporation and Booz Allen Hamilton
