The history of political events is made by people. From wars to elections to political protests, the choices we make, our actions, how we behave, dictate events. Not all individuals have the same impact on our world and our lives. Some peoples' choices alter the pathways that history takes. In particular, national chief executives play a large role in forging the destinies of the countries they lead. Why Leaders Fight is about those world leaders and how their beliefs, world views, and tolerance for risk and military conflict are shaped by their life experiences before they enter office - military, family, occupation, and more. Using in-depth research on important leaders and the largest set of data on leader backgrounds ever gathered, the authors of Why Leaders Fight show that - within the constraints of domestic political institutions and the international system - who ends up in office plays a critical role in determining when and why countries go to war.

The authors propose that healthy conflict provides a balance to agreement and improves an already good strategy. They offer three principles for recognizing the right fights and three more for fighting them the right way. The first three are: make sure it's worth fighting for, focus on creating the future, and pursue a noble purpose. Principles for fighting right are: make it a sport--not a war, sructure formally but work informally, and turn pain into gain.

Do you aspire for a leadership position and desire to broaden your understanding of leadership? Would you like to learn from the experiences of other leaders and get encouragement for your leadership journey?Every Leader's Battle is a product of conversations from leaders who share their experiences and lessons learnt in their leadership journey so far. While all the testimonies affirm that leadership is a noble calling, these leaders confirm that every leader has battles, they must fight daily. These battles can either be from within or without, and if the leader doesn't deal with them, they can sabotage the power of their leadership. Margaret Thatcher said, 'You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.' This statement rings true of the battles in a war zone, and the battles every leader must fight.The good news is, there is an assurance of victory for the leader who follows the footsteps of Jesus Christ, the ultimate master, teacher, and leader, who declared on the cross, 'It is finished'.

No one man can win a battle by himself, but battles have been won and lost because of the strength or failings of one individual: the leader. What went on in the minds and hearts of a select group of military leaders at critical moments in battle is the theme of this book. In Leaders and Battles, W. J. Wood re-creates ten battles from history, depicting the action in vivid detail—the brilliant formations, charging horses, clanking bayonets. The point of view is always that of the commanding officer. The particular quality of leadership that won—or lost—the encounter is very clear. For Mad Anthony Wayne at Stony Point, it was courage that won the day. For Scipio Africanus at Ilipa, it was imagination. Custer’s judgment at the Little Big Horn was definitely in question. When the French stormed Ratisbon, it was the inspiration of Lannes that broke the impasse. At the battle of Bushy Run, Bouquet could never have outwitted Pontiac had he lacked flexibility. The dynamics of battle as well as the strategy and tactics involved are equally well demonstrated. Though the means of fighting varied as much as the time and the civilizations involved, the lessons learned are just as applicable today. Men no longer fight with drawn swords, make barricades out of mealie bags, or use a swarm of bees as a weapon. But that is part of this book’s fascination. Leaders and Battles is a remarkable retelling of fighting engagements for the armchair strategist, the leader in training, the history buff, and the general reader. It will take time before the major wars and low-intensity skirmishes of this century can be written about with the historical detachment and understanding that the author displays here. In the meantime, we can all profit from these lessons of history.

How psychology explains why a leader is willing to use military force to protect or salvage reputation In Who Fights for Reputation, Keren Yarhi-Milo provides an original framework, based on insights from psychology, to explain why some political leaders are more willing to use military force to defend their reputation than others. Rather than focusing on a leader's background, beliefs, bargaining skills, or biases, Yarhi-Milo draws a systematic link between a trait called self-monitoring and foreign policy behavior. She examines self-monitoring among national leaders and advisers and shows that while high self-monitors modify their behavior strategically to cultivate image-enhancing status, low self-monitors are less likely to change their behavior in response to reputation concerns. Exploring self-monitoring through case studies of foreign policy crises during the terms of U.S. presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton, Yarhi-Milo disproves the notion that hawks are always more likely than doves to fight for reputation. Instead, Yarhi-Milo demonstrates that a decision maker's propensity for impression management is directly associated with the use of force to restore a reputation for resolve on the international stage. Who Fights for Reputation offers a brand-new understanding of the pivotal influence that psychological factors have on political leadership, military engagement, and the protection of public prestige.

Although the technologies of war will always change, the insights of great leaders are timeless. And at no time are those lessons more important than in the heat of combat with lives on the line. The key is in preparation before a conflict. Battle Leadership helps you be prepared by teaching such essential skills as: How to handle different personalities under extreme stress. How to prepare your troops psychologically for combat. Insight into proven battlefield tactics (even if some of those tactics are only still relevant for their historical insights). How to instill confidence in those following you. While military tactics change, the wisdom of true leadership invariably holds. These lessons can even be applied to running a business, non-profit or government department, but they are crucial to every military commander or aspiring officer. Find out why when lives are on the line, generations have turned to and continue to learn from Battle Leadership.
