Semper Fi: Business Leadership the Marine Corps Way

Now in paperback, the ultimate guide to applying the time-tested secrets of the U.S. Marine Corps to corporate leadership. For more than 200 years, the U.S. Marine Corps has been a paragon of world-class leadership, excelling in the areas of motivation, training, and management. Semper Fi — which since its hardcover publication has become a best-selling, business leadership classic — shows readers how to adapt these proven practices for their own organizations. Now in a paperback edition with a new introduction by the authors, Semper Fi goes behind the scenes to pinpoint what works for the USMC, showing readers how to create a training and management culture that brings out the best in all their employees. The book gives readers tough, practical tips for:
• inspiring individual initiative
• rewarding hard work
• encouraging loyalty
• working with limited resources
• dealing with change
• "leading the troops" at every level of the organization "This is not," according to Dan Rather, "one of those mumbo-jumbo, pseudo-philosophical books on leadership. Semper Fi is a book you will actually USE, read, and refer to again and again."
