“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.” 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. 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 * inspiring individual initiative * rewarding hard work * encouraging loyalty * working with limited resources * dealing with change * “leading the troops”” at every level of the organization.
