There have been more biographies of George C Marshall than any other Army Chief of Staff or Secretary of Defence and almost any Secretary of State - Jefferson being the most obvious exception. This is not another one. This is a practitioner's examination of a single characteristic leadership. Stewart Husted recognises that for Marshall leadership was a verb, not a noun, and this book conjugates it. It is a leadership book bereft of most academic jargon - no collaborative synergisms, no Type A, B or even C, no Theory X or Y, nothing approaching charismatic, not even a paradigm, shifting or not shifting. The Marshall Library, Bland's papers, Pogue's Marshall, and nearly 100 other sources have been carefully plumbed to extract and glean Marshall Leading, Marshall talking about Leading, and Marshall teaching Leadership. These Rubrics are not a recipe, but are designed to guide the aspiring and explain the successful.
