What do the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the Disney-Pixar relationship have in common? Why is General George Marshall a valuable example of leadership to 21st century entrepreneurs? There are two worlds of strategy and most people are only aware of one. There is the military world- thousands of years old but studied by very few. There is the corporate world – astonishingly new but studied by millions. These two worlds rarely, if ever, talk to each other. This book is designed as a bridge between these two worlds.
Michael Hennelly has seen leadership and strategy in the military world, the corporate world and the academic world. In his military career, he qualified as an Army Ranger and served as an Army strategist. He has worked with four-star generals and Fortune 500 CEOs. The genesis of this book was the seven years he spent teaching strategy and leadership to cadets at West Point.
