This is a leadership book. It is just like one of those books. It lists down the different traits that would lead on to make a good leader. The leader which is idolized in this book is referred to as the Centurion, the ultimate honour for any soldier as far as his leadership qualities are concerned. Even though it is one of the run-off-the mill books on leadership, the approach is quite fresh and interesting. The author who happens to be a retired colonel of US Airforce, is able to bring a very simple and effective approach to developing a good leader within. The traits identified have been demonstrated by examples ranging from Hannibal and Alexander to Lee and Patton and even Lincoln. The examples cited in some fashion tend to depict the timeless respect, honour and dignity that good leaders are able to command.
It is definitely not a must read but it does have an interesting tone to the already bland topic of Leadership Development.
