Building Leaders the West Point Way

Building Leaders the West Point Way, written by former Commandant of Cadets at West Point Joseph Franklin (also an alumni of MIT) is a short interesting book for potential leaders. While strongly based on his military experience, the lessons definitely apply to the business world, even though not many business-people have to deal with small unit tactics. The gist of the book can be found simply in the chapter titles though: duty, honor, faith, courage, perseverance, confidence, approachability, adaptability, compassion, and vision. Those ten qualities are mostly self-explanatory, and I doubt I'll read the book again.
