With all the craziness in the world, and our apparent inability to work with others, even here on Rally Point... I would offer this as a good read. This is recent update of a time honored classic. I would recommend that you read both versions, if you have not, or have not recently. Leadership is about influence. This book helps you understand influence and make it work for you.

Thanks for sharing an interesting perspective COL Mikel J. Burroughs. For some reason my first thought was about Hunter S Thompson when I read your discussion.

COL Charles Williams - It seems you may not be familiar with Hunter S Thompson who was the inventor and master of Gonzo journalism. He used lines like How to win friends and influence people" is his sarcastic way in the Fear and Loathing book series. The first book of his I reads was "Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs" then I read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72"
Duke in Doonesbury was modeling after him. Thompson blew his brains out with a shotgun when he got tired of life.

COL Charles Williams very good book, sir! I have it on my bookcase. It seems leadership is fading to the wrath of pure emotion these days.
