Stand Your Ground: Building Honorable Leaders the West Point Way
"[O]ne of the most relevant and applicable responses to recent leadership breakdowns at such places as Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, and Abu Ghraib….[S]tand Your Grounddelivers a message that began with our founding fathers, but which has been silenced in the last several years. InStand Your Ground, Offstein provides compelling evidence that true leadership is first built on honor and that future leadership lapses well chronicled in the recent episodes occurring at Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, and GlobalCrossing, could never again occur if West Point's model of honorable leadership development is followed. Given the almost limitless amount of leadership books that offer hollow promises and which have accomplished little to improve our current state of leadership, Offstein'sStand Your Groundstands apart as one of the choice few books capable of transforming leaders at all levels and across organizations."-PR Newswire US"Drawing on research he conducted at the United States Military Academy at West Point and with business leaders in a variety of industries, Offstein gives access to the process of leadership development at West Point and offers insights that can be applied in any type of organization that strives to operate on the principle of integrity."-Reference & Research Book News
