Chapter 5: Take Care of People. At its core, leadership is about people. Fundamental to this is that leaders take care of their people. But this concept also uncovers one of the biggest clichés in American business; people are our most important asset. Even today, perhaps more so today, in a society where individuality is lauded and autonomy is cherished, people want to know they will be taken care of. Part of this is instinct, stemming from our nature as tribal beings who need to associate. Part of it stems from the social contract that emerged in our society, and still persists somewhat, that says the firm will take care of us in return for a hard days work and a full career.

I had seen the author speak at a seminar several years prior to purchasing this book (which is what prompted me to want to read it). The "lessons" to be learned from this book can be applied to every walk of life, every type of business leader, and most are useful in our normal day-to-day dealings with others. I have always appreciated the authors approach to balance in one's life, while maintaining a high level of motivation to success.

The manner in which the author seamlessly weaves stories from his, and a seemingly endless supply of contributors, days in the Corps into the 9 concepts that the book focuses on makes it very entertaining. I would imagine that those who have served (in any branch) could relate to this book very well. For those of us who have not, the accounts serve to maintain a level of interest that I have not been able to maintain in other books from this genre. Not once did I say to myself, "I need to finish this book and pay attention." I found myself wanting to read a bit longer every time I opened the book, which is a rare quality in Leadership books that I have read.

I would highly recommend reading this book. Also, if you ever have the chance to see the author speak, I would suggest that as well, as he is more captivating than the book. I have not had the opportunity to see him speak in over 5 years, but I still remember quite a bit of what he had to say. That is the mark of a quality teacher/motivator in my opinion.

Great Book. Not theoretical fluff. Just good practical real life examples. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see how the marines do leadership.

As a former M-60 tanker myself, I found the introduction of this book on leadership strategy very interesting. The author relates how when conducting a tactical exercise in Japan with his M-60 tank platoon, a sudden snow storm and ice forced operations to temporarily shut down and the author told his platoon members to "do something productive." Shortly thereafter - in a standard feature of every new lieutenant's nightmare - the Battalion Commander came by and found that the troops had interpreted his order as to mean building snowmen in front of their tanks (pretty much the same thing happened to me with my tank platoon in Korea in winter, except we didn't get a high-level visit). As the author dryly notes, this example demonstrates the importance of clear communication in leadership. I normally stick to military history per se, but I found that this book - which has received unfair criticism from folks who want to focus on the cover design instead of what is on the pages in between - has a gripping, common sense use of military examples of leadership that are worthy of study for those who wish to understand what leadership is all about.

No Yelling consists of nine chapters, each of which discuss and provide examples of a key leadership trait, such as integrity, technical competence and taking care of your people. I remember these subjects being treated at length in ROTC classes at Notre Dame - where incidentally, the author also studied them - but they stick with you for life. Now that I am in the corporate world, like many a retired officer, I found it deplorable that so many civilian "leaders" fail to demonstrate many of these traits. This book is an attempt to clarify, the "right way" from the "wrong way" when it comes to leading people and accomplishing a mission. In each chapter, the author provides a "Marine Example" and a "Civilian Example," then draws conclusions from each - sort of a `lessons learned.' This is a simple, but effective book that provides much grist for discussion and lessons on leadership. While certainly not definitive - the US Army has a bit different take on leadership than the Marines, or the Navy or Air Force - the author does a wonderful job laying out the core traits that do go into making effective leaders and they are worthy of study. However, perhaps I am a bit jaundiced in my view of the corporate world (which ultimately is about the "icy, cold waters of statistical calculation" for profit - not leadership - as one of my professors at Notre Dame used to say), but a book like this may actually be more useful for young people just embarking upon a military or professional civilian career, rather than those already with their `feet wet.' An entertaining read.

I have looked at a few of these books (Warfighting) on the Marine Corps. This one is very useful for all business people concerned with essential leadership. If you have been as lucky as I to work with good leaders, you will see these people in this book. If not, this a book of life lessons. He askes tough questions. "What is your training program? Your reading program? Your Commanders intent? Your rehearsal for success strategy? " In our practise where we often meet young breakthrough entrepreneurs this would be a very helpful book as new issues arise for them. The lessons are very useful at the small unit level, which are often the tough spots for start-ups. The writer has been in the Marines and business. He certainly makes a very strong case to hire ex-Marines. He also helps disprove the " Hollywood" marine story. Easy read and well laid out.

As a military veteran and business owner myself, I greatly appreciate the influence and impact that military values and principles can provide to businesses. Wally provides nuggets of information to improve one's leadership skills. The studious leader will glean lessons from the military and civilian examples that can easily apply to their own situations. There have been many leadership books written about the Corps, and many offer wisdom and insightfulness. Wally's is yet another that is also a weapon for your arsenal to grow or expand your leadership skills.

The insights that Adamchik shares in this book are valuable for business executives and consultants. While the purpose of the Marine Corps is dramatically different from that of a business organization, the leadership principles in this book easily tranfer to business success. Adamchik's stories clearly demonstrate how to apply his leadership ideas in practice.

I have had the opportunity to "share the platform" with Wally Adamchik at an international conference. Wally is not only a fine author, but an outstanding keynote speaker.
