The military leadership handbook / edited by Colonel Bernd Horn and Dr. Robert W. Walker ; foreword by Major-General J.P.Y.D. Gosselin.: D2-229/2008E-PDF

"This volume represents an important addition to the body of literature both on leadership and the profession of arms. It provides an applied and readable compendium of ideas, concepts, and practices related specifically to military leadership. Although focused, to a large degree, on the Canadian context and experience, it is applicable to any military organization and, quite frankly, to anyone interested in the study of leadership. Moreover, The Military Leadership Handbook adds to the innovative Strategic Leadership Writing Project created by the Canadian Forces Leadership Institute and the Canadian Defence Academy Press. These publications provide military professionals and the public at large with theoretical knowledge, as well as practical experience, to ensure a better understanding of leadership. They will assist both military leaders to better prepare to lead and command in the demanding environments in which they find themselves, and non-military professionals to comprehend the enormous challenges their nations' armed forces face in the current complex and lethal global security environment"--Foreword, pages [9]-10.
