The Leaderā€™s Bookshelf synthesizes their responses to identify the top fifty books that can help virtually anyone become a better leader.

The Leaderā€™s Bookshelf by James Stavridis,R. Manning Ancell Book Review

Name: Jack Kruse
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Kruseā€™s Keys: Read the ā€œLeaderā€™s Bookshelfā€ If You Aspire to Leadership in Any Field
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2017
Review: Jim Staviridisā€™ gift to bookavores everywhere, The Leaderā€™s Bookshelf is a difficult one on which to provide notes because it is so packed with great and essential material. What Stavridis and former Navy PAO R. Ancell have done is put together a Top 50 reading list for military leaders ā€” they accomplished this feat by surveying hundreds of senior military leaders. The final list, though, only took into account the inputs of the more than 200 4-star officers surveyed. The authors then compiled the most frequently cited titles and ranked them by frequency of citation.

Iā€™ve only read about 12 of the 50 which lean a little too heavily toward the Civil War (5 of the 50, not including three on Lincoln). Each of the 50 books includes a prelude on its importance written by one of the surveyed 4 star officers.

The distribution of preludes by service follows:
6 Air Force
16 Navy
9 Marine Corps
18 Army
1 Coast Guard

He also devotes a chapter to an unofficial survey of junior officers and provides a short summaries of the titles that are most often listed. One of the strengths of this book is that it provides a framework to analyze future books. The authorā€™s systematic approach to reading provides a useful framework for anyone desiring to better digest and use what they read.

As a FAO, I enjoyed Staviridisā€™ analyses that repeatedly noted the need for regional expertise (across the spectrum of history and literature) to better inform national strategic decision-making.

Key Quotes:
ā€œTo be a good soldier you must love the army. To be a good commander, you must be willing to order the death of the thing you love.ā€ -Robert E. Lee (16)
There are certain wicked people in the world that you canā€™t deal with except by force.ā€ -John Keegan (39)
ā€œThe Americans have all the watches, but we have all the time.ā€ -Taliban saying (45)
ā€œMilitary operations alone cannot defeat an insurgency because only economic development and political action can address most sources of disaffection.ā€ -H.R. McMaster (48)
ā€œWhat constitutes defeats? The conquest of his whole territory is not always necessary, and total occupation of his territory may not be enough.ā€ -Carl von Clausewitz (52)
ā€œIn preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.ā€ -Dwight D. Eisenhower (67)
ā€œIn the military servicesā€¦the main rewards go to him who can make other men feel toughened as well as elevated.ā€ -S.L.A. Marshall (71)
ā€œPolitics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability to explain why it didnā€™t happen.ā€ -Winston Churchill (78)
ā€œThe buck stops here.ā€ -Plaque on President Trumanā€™s Oval Office desk (81)
ā€œIn a man-to-man fight, the winner is he who has one more round in his magazine.ā€ -Erwin Rommel (83)
ā€œMost people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.ā€ -Stephen R. Covey (86)
ā€œLet no officer keep to himself or his brother officers, but circulate daylong among his men.ā€ -King Leonidas of Sparta (109)
ā€œIf there is no work, make it upā€¦action, on the other hand, produces the appetite for more action.ā€ -King Leonidas of Sparta (109)
ā€œA king does not expend his substance to enslave men, but by his conduct and example makes them free.ā€ -King Leonidas of Sparta (111)
ā€œThe opposite of fear is not courage ā€” it is love [of a fellow soldier].ā€ -King Leonidas of Sparta (111)
ā€œMolon labeā€ ā€” ā€Come and take them.ā€ -King Leonidas in response to Xerxes call to lay down his arms (111).
ā€œMy concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on Godā€™s side, for God is always right.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (113)
ā€œMy best friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (116)
ā€œBe with a leader when he is right, stay with him when he is still right, but leave him when he is wrong.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (116)
ā€œEvery manā€™s happiness is his own responsibility.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (116)
ā€œNearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a manā€™s character, give him power.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (117)
ā€œThe best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (117)
ā€œThe best to predict your future is to create it.ā€ -Abraham Lincoln (117)
ā€œPreparation equals performance.ā€ -Admiral James Loy, USCG Commandant
ā€œOutside solutions unanchored by an understanding of a given regional system are almost always doomed to fail.ā€ -Admiral Jim Stavridis, commenting on A Peace to End all Peace.
ā€œIn the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think itā€™s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love themā€¦I destroy them.ā€ -Ender Wiggins in Orson Scott Cardā€™s Enderā€™s Game (174).
ā€œ[Matterhorn] is a novel about a young man learning compassion in the middle of a war.ā€ -LtCol Ralph Peters (176).
ā€œMatterhornā€¦ is the first great [novel about the Vietnam War] and I doubt it will ever be surpassed.ā€ ā€” Mark Bowdren, author of Blackhawk Down (177).
ā€œAttack rapidly, ruthlessly, viciously, without rest, however tired and hungry you may be. The enemy will be most tired, and more hungry. Keep punching.ā€ -Patton (182)
ā€œNo good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.ā€ -Patton (182)

Key Takeaways:

The best leaders are forged through practice ā€” both heredity and environment matters (1)
Central value to reading lies in oneā€™s ability to live vicariously through othersā€™ experiences and evaluate ourselves and how we would react to their challenges (3).
In reading about our heroes we are able to ID their leadership traits and replicate them (4).
A carefully crafted daily routine is a key enabler to productivity. Stavridis recounts his as he runs through what he reads and does over his first two cups of coffee everyday. Youā€™ll find the power of a routine centrally cited by productivity gurus from Tim Ferris to Cal Newport (you can read more about Newportā€™s amazing Deep Work here) (8)
Nimitzā€™ transformative belief in second chances is especially relevant today in a zero-defect military promotion system (59).
Rommel: Leaders are good observers first (85).
Repeat back what you hear to make sure you understand (87).
Creative solution-making and cultural understanding are inexorably linked (Key FAO Trait) (93).
Mark Twain: Leaders duty to challenge ā€œtraditionā€ā€¦what are the ancient and incorrect traditions today in the Navy and FAO community? (135).
Leaders bring order from chaos (155).
ā€œ[Matterhorn] is a novel about a young man learning compassion in the middle of a war.ā€ -LtCol Ralph Peters (176).
I combined all the leadership principles and lessons from the various noted books below:
Give offense to no one
Take personal responsibility
Develop real human relationships
Know when to delegate
Keep your enemy off balance
Intelligence is vital
Keys to victory
Confidence as force multiplier
Simplicity matters when plans are assembled
Lead as servant and protector
Dream
Good leaders can never rest of their laurels
Leaders reach for the stars
Delegation is crucial
Focus on the objective
Leaders must be determined
Be proactive
Begin with the end in mind
Put first things first
Think win/win
Seek first to understand
Synergize ā€” getting the mix right
Sharpen the saw ā€” constant improvement
Do the Right Thing (integrity)
Master the Situation (action)
Serve the greater good (selflessness)
Speak your mind (principle of candor)
Lay the Groundwork (be prepared)
Share knowledge (share to make others better)

Focus on the big picture (delegate at the next level, i.e., operational or tactical)
Support the troops (principle of caring)
Carve out time to read
Find the time to think after you read
Speak and write with simplicity and precision
Be humble and use humor often
Focus and prioritize

Avoid obsessing over little things that donā€™t matter in the long run
Avoid working to exhaustion
Give the right people second chances
Act with honor, hope and generosity
Listen first, then speak
You have a duty to challenge ā€œtraditionā€

Title: A New Leadership Perspective
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2017
Review: I cannot recommend this book enough.

Amazon users are no doubt aware of the proliferation of books about leadership. What makes the Leaderā€™s Bookshelf different is it provides a rich how-to guide for using books to your advantage and developing nuanced leadership skills.

On its surface, the Leaderā€™s Bookshelf appears just to be a book about great books. But it is far more than just a mere listicle in hard binding. Each book overview includes quotes from one of its four-star recommenders, providing a window into their thought processes, and a brief synopsis of the bookā€™s main lessons for the time-starved.

Many reviewers, and even the bookā€™s authors, remark on the inclusion of books which are not part of the traditional leadership canon, including Mark Twainā€™s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurā€™s Court and Isaac Asimovā€™s wonderful Foundation series. Finding these hidden gems is another great value of this book because it doesnā€™t shy away from finding value in unlikely places. The diversity of fiction and non-fiction titles on the list provides variety to the reader, a much-needed quality for those tired of trawling through the rote talking points of conventional leadership books.

Beyond the books themselves, the Leaderā€™s Bookshelf provides advice on curating your own library, writing, publishing, and managing your intellectual development in the rigor of our busy lives. These bits of wisdom remind the reader that writing, reflection, and thought leadership are just as important as successfully managing daily work activities.

Five stars for utility, originality, and good writing.

Title: A lot of missing books.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2019
Review: I have been a fan of Admiral Stavidris for many years, I first noted his many book reviews in the Naval Institute Proceeding and his progress through the ranks during the 1980ā€™s and 90ā€™s. While I enjoyed ā€œThe Leaderā€™s Bookshelfā€, I did find in lacking in many areas. When I was commissioned in 1962, military history was favorite reading of my peer group. Admiral Stavridis and LCDR Ancell interviewed more than 200 4 star officerā€™s, while most of them came well after I was commissioned I found that there was a lack of biographies, in particular of our nations military leaders in WW II, Korea and Vietnam. Likewise, none of John Tolandā€™s books appeared in the top 50 nor did any of Hornfischerā€™s excellent writings.

Many of the books listed surely belong on anyoneā€™s list, but they are a given such as Sun Tzu, On War and The Killer Angels. The emphasis of books from the Civil War detracts from those that were written about the six wars since then.

There are also many books of historical military fiction most notably those written by W.E.B Griffin which go a long way toward expanding a young leaderā€™s reading experience and development of his/her leadership skills.

I should also add that any senior naval officer should have Adm Morisonā€™s 15 volume set ā€œThe History of United States Naval Operations in WWIIā€ on the first shelf of his library.
