Book Review {Lead Like Ike by Geoff Loftus}

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book, I'm normally not one who can read through a business book without getting bored halfway through, but because this book is based in history and reality I really enjoyed reading and learning from it.

Book Description

Dwight Eisenhower’s leadership methods during the most daunting project in history, the D-Day Invasion, provide invaluable strategies for today’s business person.
No modern CEO has ever led such a large organization—the immense Allied military forces of the U.S., Great Britain, and Canada—in the face of such crushing pressure to succeed. Lead Like Ike begins with Eisenhower reporting for work as the CEO of D-Day Inc., facing a ridiculously tight timeline, having to create an executive staff and company, and then managing D-Day Inc.’s early projects, the invasions of North Africa and Sicily. By analyzing military operations as business operations, and the commanding general as CEO, Lead Like Ike finds management lessons for modern corporate executives.

Well written and laid out it is easy to look up key points after a chapter is finished, there are 10 chapters all with their own distinct business strategy.  A good read if you want to learn more about business!
