On a whim, I bought this book when I was a Army second lieutenant in the mid-80's. Looked interesting. I had a rather dominant company commander at the time so I decided to try a couple of principles in the book on him. I was surprised to get him to concur with some of my ideas on doing some projects around the company. The book kind of scared me on how easily it seemed to work. Since I am not one to readily force my will on others, further use of the book seemed inconsistent with my values. Been on a bookshelf ever since. ( )
