The Fundamentals of Leadership: Essential tools of the trade

Understanding true leadership principles is essential for success in any endeavor worth pursuing.

In Fundamentals of Leadership: Essential Tools of the Trade, Lieutenant Colonel Floyd G. Sheldon captures his leadership experience as a United States Army infantryman in fifteen easy-to-read chapters. Sheldon draws from more than twenty-five years of experience to teach basic leadership skills in this rich expose, including:

• Ways to influence



• How to use simple decision-making steps
• A common sense approach to learning and thinking
• Indispensable communication techniques
• A sound and practical method to leading in a time of a crisis
• Â…and much more

To inspire future leaders, Fundamentals of Leadership: Essential tools of the trade uses larger-than-life and obscure leaders as examples, and includes Sheldon's own experiences leading in the sands of Iraq, the swamps of the Florida panhandle, and the spit and polish of officer candidate school.
