Semper Fi: Business Leadership the Marine Corps Way (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780814472729)

This book goes behind the scenes to pinpoint what works for the U.S. Marine Corps, showing you how to create a training and management culture that brings out the best in all your employees.

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 publication has become a best-selling, business leadership classic -- shows you how to adapt these proven practices for your own organizations.

The book gives you 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 a pseudo-philosophical book on leadership. Semper Fi is a book you will actually use, read, and refer to again and again.
