Summary: Awesome
Review: I just finished reading Patton on Leadership for the second time. I also just purchased an additional 15 copies for my work team. There are so many lessons that can be learned from Patton that are unbelievably appropriate in today's environment. It is quite simply the best book on leadership I've ever read.

Summary: Inspirational and reinforces...
Review: This book basically translates Patton's notecards to himself into paragraph form then summarizes them, is fairly informative. Some of the Axelrod's summaries made me think and inspired me, some left me thinking "Doesn't everybody know that?" however it did reinforce some lessons my dad had taught me. I did notice some contradictions between several passages with either Patton's own words or Axelrod's briefs. I would suggest purchasing this book, since it reinforces some habits that you have learned along the way or will make you think "outside the box."

Summary: Audacity!
Review: What a truly great reader this book turned out to be. Easy to pick up, difficult to put down, and filled with inspiration. While a small percentage of war techniques do not transfer to the business world; Axelrod pulls concise information and quidance from a library of the General's quotes. Wars are won by making the enemy die for his country. Always move forward. When in doubt, attack. The soldier is the army. Gather accurate information and make decisions quickly. And take the high ground.My only complaint is with the author's desire to open the book with political-correctness and apologies for Patton's frank language. This book will spark you up and fill you with pride, boldness, and audacity! I have found my Covey books and Minute Mangers have collected dust where "Patton on Leadership" is starting to look like a well worn Bible.

Summary: A Chance To Learn From the Greatest
Review: When people think of George Patton, they tend to think of the larger than life character portrayed in the movie. While colorful, Patton was above all a superb manager who knew how to motivate people to accomplish the seemingly impossible. This book takes what made Patton a successful manager and analyzes it in detail so that the average person can apply to his or her own field of endeavor. I suggest you read the book and then, after each section, close it and think about how what you've just read can be applied to your own situation. Patton's intense focus on what he wanted to accomplish, and his no nonsense way of communicating his vision, are valuable lessons for managers in any field. Few can emulate Patton, but we can all learn from him.
