Sommario/riassunto

With thirty-seven years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a three-star general, and nine years as the president and CEO of the Center for Creative Leadership, Walter F. Ulmer, Jr., has a wealth of leadership experience.  He is also an exceptionally thoughtful person committed to learning from his experience.  This book, selected from columns that he wrote for CCL's periodical Issues & Observations and introduced by an adaptation of an essay written for the Kellogg Leadership Studies Project, and reminds us that there can be no true leadership without learning.
