Colonel Fox, who has written two military memoirs, draws on his leadership experience in the Marine Corps, where he served from 1950 to 1993, to identify six elements that are key to successful leadership in all areas. These are: care, personality, knowledge, motivation, commitment, and communication. He discusses the definition of leadership, the differences between leadership and management, sources of leaders, principles, and historical traits, using examples of how he, his superiors, and fellow Marines led others. He ends by detailing lessons he learned about leadership and profiling select colleagues. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
