Small Unit Leadership

What does it take to get the job done? How do you get the men in your unit to do what you say? To follow you into battle and shoot to kill? How you build the confidence that spurs men on to do their job, to stand by their leader and each other?

"The author condenses volumes of psychological studies into a readable and exciting book on practical military leadership."-ARMOR
"Colonel Malone not only provides handy guides on what should be done and how it should be done . . . he also aids the reader in how to know that desired results are being achieved."-Leatherneck

Col. Dandridge M. (Mike) Malone, US Army (Ret.), began his army career as a private and ended as a colonel almost 30 years later. During that time, he earned a BS degree from Vanderbilt University and an MS from Purdue, and graduated from the Army Command and General Staff College and the Army War College. Renowned as the army's leading expert on leadership, both in garrison and in combat, he has taught the subject to noncommissioned officers, West Point cadets, and students at various army service schools to include the Army War College. An audiotape he prepared on leadership, Soldier, has some 50,000 copies in circulation among army troop units worldwide. He died in 1995.
