Вірний завжди. Бізнес-лідерство на принципах морської піхоти

by Dan Carrison

Управлінські виклики сучасного бізнесу дуже схожі на ті, з якими стикаються в морській піхоті. Менеджери повинні знаходити способи мотивувати команду в особливо скрутні часи, коли бонуси і підвищення зарплат неможливі. Вищий менеджмент повинен культивувати лідерство і лояльність в організації. А їхня спільна мета — це перемога на ринку.

Колишні морські піхотинці Ден Керрісон і Род Волш пропонують зазирнути за лаштунки взірця лідерства світового класу — Корпусу морської піхоти США, що вже понад 200 років досягає успіхів у сферах мотивації, підготовки й управління.

«Вірний завжди. Бізнес-лідерство на принципах морської піхоти» — це унікальний кишеньковий довідник з лідерства, наповнений принципами й методами, що забезпечували успіх морських піхотинців у найскладніших умовах, і який допомагає формувати високоефективну культуру лідерства й управління. Це надійний путівник для тих, хто готовий перемагати.

I finished Semper Fi, Business Leadership the Marine Corps Way, by Dan Carrison & Rod Walsh today. I liked this book and would recommend it. It was a pretty easy read for me, because the writes thinking, and mine, are close on so many topics. Reading this book, I could see there was a recruiter influence in this book. I, in a way do want to be part of their team, and the kind of leadership in this book. The phrase, Semper Fi, always faithful, it is so important for so many aspects of life. I think I should list some of the places where it fits.
Semper Fi

• Always faithful to the higher power and its creation.
• Always faithful to my, mind, body, and soul.
• Always faithful to my significant other, who makes me whole.
• Always faithful to my family, by blood or by choice.
• Always faithful in helping my country, be all that it can be to serve, and protect its people.
• Always faithful to my business, and the components in that business, that provides a needed service.

"Semper Fi" which was published in 2005 reads like an updated and expanded version of "Corps Business" which was printed in 1999. This book doesn't sugarcoat life through basic training and gives you first hand experience from CEOs that served in the Corps once they entered the workforce. Like "Corps Business", I read this book cover to cover years ago but I still keep it as a reference.

Дуже корисна книга. Зосереджує увагу на формуванні культури лідерства, яка дозволяє перемагати, видавлюючи з людей налаштування культури, яка толерує спокійне відношення до невдач. Важливість зберігати фокус на перемозі і постійній готовності до боротьби для бізнес-підрозділу в спокійних умовах, коли здавалось би цілі досягнуто.

interesting perspective on Marine HR and culture. a few nuggets around hr policy and recruitment specially. book is starting to show is age in the chapter about female marines, but overall an interesting and light read.

I usually find no value in business leadership books, but this one makes complete sense and has so many applicable ideas which I can apply to what I am doing right now. Also a fascinating insight into how the USMC does things, written by guys who have been there and done it. Will certainly re-read.

Interesting read. This book relates Marine Corps traits, traditions, and purpose to relevant experiences in the business world.

[David Donhoff · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent book detailing how the US Marines superbly deal with, manage & overcome the organizational hurdles that face every institution.

If anything, the glaring success of the non-politically-correct, non-equivocating, and even brutally even-handed non-fairness of the USMC organization... versus the real-world observed, and even the recommended pussy-footing around in civilian H.R.-constrained commerce... is actually a bit of a downer. In reading this, the Marines success puts a great spotlight on the civilian soft-handed institutional failure.

Bottom line; An *EXCELLENT* read... if a little depressing as it applies to the civilian world.

Ooh Rah! I just finished an 8 page review on this book for school.

[Jeff Kinsey · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a must read for entrepreneurs in America. How do yo deal with almost 80% employee turn-over without going out of business? "Semper Fi" has the answer to this and 27 other questions you have yet to comprehend face you and your business.

This is an excellent examination of the management tools employed within the modern Marine Corps. Also a useful guide to help corporations understand the opportunity to implement winning strategy into their management practices in order to build an elite team of employees and managers.

A few nuggets on leadership and keys to creating a respectful and well disciplined workplace. But all in all, a bit disappointing.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 5 out of 5]

The leadership examples explained make an excellent model for leadership in the business world and private. As Marines we lead by example.

[Corey Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent book. If you are a Marine (current or former) you will be nodding your head up and down the entire time you are reading this book. So much so you cant put it down.
