"Management professor and West Point graduate, Evan Offstein, approached leaders at the U.S. Military Academy and the Department of the Army with two primary questions: 1) How does West Point develop its leader?; 2) Can other individuals and organizations apply these methods effectively? Two years later, after conducting extensive on-site research at West Point and with business leaders in a variety of industries, he offers access to the process of leadership development at West Point, as well as practical insights that can be applied in any type of organization that strives to operate on the principle of integrity."--Jacket.
