WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A WRITTEN LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

摘要

In the summer of 1992 I was a junior officer assigned to the US Army's prestigious Berlin Brigade, whose Cold War mission to counter Soviet strength in Germany's historic capital had changed drastically with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the USSR. We would now be a rapid deployment force available for missions anywhere in Europe. Practically, this meant that a unit designed to fight on foot in a large city now had to be ready to take on tank formations anywhere on the continent. The transition was a huge challenge; frankly, many of the leaders had no idea how we were going to get the job done.
