Military History: Key to Successful Leadership
Abstract
Studying military history is an important part of being a leader. Leaders can prevent repeating mistakes or reproducing a trend by studying the history of yesterdays Army and applying the lessons learned. Studying history can point out "what not to do" and provide insight on what can be done to ensure a successful mission. Military history serves as a continuous education model that makes up the shortfalls of standardized training or inexperienced leaders. Many people say history is boring or irrelevant, but if they pay attention they can identify the importance of it.
