Overview

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."""
