Nimitz's leadership during World War II. It describes how he used his talents to guide the Pacific Fleet following the attacks on Pearl Harbor, win crucial victories against the forces of Imperial Japan, and then seize the initiative in the Pacific. Once Nimitz's forces held the initiative, they maintained it through an offensive campaign of unparalleled speed that overcame Japanese defenses and created the conditions for victory. As a command and operational history, \u003ci\u003eMastering the Art of Command \u003c\/i\u003eAs a study of leadership, \u003ci\u003eMastering the Art of Command \u003c\/i\u003euses modern management theories, and builds upon the approach in his award-winning\u003ci\u003e Learning War\u003c\/i\u003e. Trent Hone explores the challenge of leadership in complex adaptive systems through Nimitz's behavior and causes us to reassess the inevitability of Allied victory and the reasons for its ultimate accomplishment. A new narrative history of the Pacific war, this book demonstrates effective patterns for complexity-informed leadership by highlighting how Nimitz maintained coherence within his organization, established the conditions for his subordinates to succeed, and fostered collaborative sensemaking to identify and pursue options more rapidly. Nimitz's \"strategic artistry\" is a pattern worthy of study and emulation, for today's military officers, civilian leaders, and managers in large organizations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46680751734942,"sku":"ADS-9781682475959","price":69.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781682475959.jpg?v=1775545246","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781682475959","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
