What is The Courage to Take Command : Leadership Lessons from a Military Trailblazer about?

POWERFUL LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM A TRAILBLAZING FEMALE COLONEL IN THE U.S. ARMY When Jill Morgenthaler arrived at boot camp in 1975 as part of the inaugural class of women in the Army, she was one of 83 female cadets . . . on a base of 50,000 men. So she knows a thing or two about conquering obstacles. In The Courage to Take Command , Colonel Morgenthaler provides invaluable leadership lessons drawn from her three decades of military service—from her first days in ROTC to combat in some of the world's most dangerous war zones. Ironically, the military taught her that leadership isn't about "command and control." Rather, it requires a fine balance of reason and emotion, distance and familiarity, hard and soft power. Learn how to lead your team to success by: Being true to your vision—but being open to new ideas Tackling obstacles head-on—but using finesse to arrive at solutions Focusing on the mission—while protecting your people Projecting strong leadership presence—but serving every member of your team, especially the weakest and most vulnerable Maintaining team spirit—but refusing to tolerate mediocrity Accepting and embracing your fears—but never letting them control
