Book Analysis: A Passion for Excellence - The Leadership Difference
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to determine if the principles, concepts and ideas contained therein have merit as guides for today's military leaders. Certainly few individuals, particularly those in the military services, would argue with a statement that, as a whole, individuals and organizations/ units having high standards normally 'excel' in day-to-day activities, training exercises, performance evaluations, etc. And, of course, there are many such individuals and organizations/units, both in and out of the Department of Defense, that fall in this category. The methodology used was (1) a dissection of the book itself to identify the key principles and concepts, and (2) an analysis of the book's tenets in terms of depth of support, degree of applicability, documented outcomes and other factors, and (3) a discussion of the differences and similarities between the civilian and military work environments, and applicability of the authors' principles and concepts to both environments, and (4) a comparison of the authors' leadership principles/ concepts with the leadership views of a senior military leader to determine commoness.
