Absolutely essential for managers who want to understand their own role - and who want a "cheat sheet" for motivational speeches. Feel fully re-energised and ready to attack whoever, whatever, whenever after reading this one.

An excellent collection of the wisdom of General Patton, most of which I had already read before, but presented clearly, and with some interpretation to apply it to business management. We picked this up at the Patton Museum near the California/Arizona border.

Direct, No Nonsense Advice

Patton's "One-Minute Messages" offers direct, no nonsense advice on a wide range of leadership topics. Of course, you must adapt much of the advice to fit a corporate versus a military context. Well worth reading.

Mostly a collection of Patton’s maxims with a few business pointers thrown in. A worthwhile read for a Patton fan and an acceptable reference by which to quote him, but academics are better left with using Patton’s original papers.

This was a great book. It has a quote on all the pages and then a description on the context of this quote. Then, there is another explanation in the business world by the author. I really enjoyed this and will keep it and reference back to it in the future.

Brief and to the point. Good to read in small doses, reflect, and apply each day.

A great read in any business --"your never beaten until you admit it."-- "As long as you can fight, as long as you don't give up, you can never be whipped." Great messages from a great leader.
