Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Will enlighten some noncommissioned officers...and frighten others. The book, based on experience throughout a long and successful career, is about leadership from the NCO perspective instead of the officer perspective.--Army Magazine

This is excellent reading for all business personel. It is down to earth, grass roots, management. Basically the author teaches that without training, cross training, and effective execution, sense of duty, loyality and taking care of your employees (soldiers),the business is slated for failure. I was so impressed by this book that I bought 4 additional copies and gave them to managers 3 levels up the management chain in our company.

I had to read this horrible book for an NCODP. Someone please give me those hours back. At best, he has maybe 40-60 pages of worthy material in here. It is padded all to hell and written in a "See Spot Run" style that is amazingly insulting. Even worse, none of these "leadership" stories involve combat. They are all about APFTs and barracks inspections. Snore.

The concept of the three meter zone is brilliant for business-- when combined with some of the reading in Small Unit Leadership: A Common Sense Approach (notice some, I wasn't entirely happy with the other book) you'll find that there are four basic types of employees:
1)Willing and Able: Those who don't need huge amounts of supervision (100 meter zone, completely safe and needs a pat on the back every once in a while)
2)Willing and Unable: Those who can be molded/trained (50 meter zone, needs some training to get the job done but is completely willing to learn with some help)
3)Unwilling and Able: 50 meter zone employee who needs guidance to get him back to the 100 meter zone
4)Unwilling and Unable: 3 meter zone employee-- immediate up-training and close supervision required.
The concept of the 3, 50, and 100 meter zones is based off of a training that the author received concerning the Bouncing Betty Mine-- this is an anti-personnel mine that was capable of killing within 3 meters, wounding at 50, and wasn't out of danger-close until 100 meters. As a supervisor, we are the mine. Our job is to get our employees out of our killing zone (in other words, write ups, disciplinary action, etc) as quick as possible.
Like other great military/business reads that have proceeded it the material is given concisely with a minimum of fluff; you can tell that the author knew what he wanted to say and how to say it. I highly recommend this book for those who want to learn more about military doctrine in business; my copy is right subsequent to the Book of Five Rings and the Art of War.

Great book. This is direct, in your face leadership for today's very first line leaders. This book should be a required reading for all NCO's in the Army.
