Description
Words for Warriors: A Professional Soldier’s Notebook
is about leadership—leadership on the battlefield and in the
garrison. Colonel Ralph Puckett, a Ranger legend, shares what he
has learned in more than fifty-eight years of training, leading,
teaching, and mentoring Warriors. This book addresses tactics,
training, administration, special staff, public relations,
self-development, and myriad other subjects that are the
responsibilities of commanders. Much of this advice will be useful
to business leaders as well.
The essays within are not limited to Colonel Puckett’s
experience. They draw heavily upon the experiences of others to
provide a broad discussion of practical courses of action for the
many challenges that confront leaders. This invaluable resource
presents ideas that will help commanders with many of the problems
that are part of everyday military life. Words for Warriors
helps fill the gap between what is taught in our service schools
and lessons learned through experience.
Endorsements
“The absolute best book on military leadership that I have
ever read. A superb, very readable series of short, incisively
written leadership lessons by one of the very few great battlefield
leaders in the history of the U.S. Army.
This book should be read by every officer and NCO in the Army
and Marine Corps. A superb compendium of ‘how to’ and
‘how not to.’”
--H. G. Moore, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army Retired
