Command and Control: Great Military Leaders from Washington to the Twenty-First Century

Mark R. Polelle

This course is about great military leaders. However, the study of great generals raises the question: What makes a good leader in the first place? Bass and
Stogdill claim in their book Handbook of Leadership: Theory, Research, and Managerial Applications that nearly fifty percent of an organization’s performance
is based on the ability of the leader.

I think Harry Truman provides us with a good working definition of leadership. He said that “leadership is the ability to get people to do what they don’t want
to and like it.” One could say that leadership in any domain boils down to the process whereby an individual influences a group to achieve a common goal. Coercion is thus not good leadership. Think of the example of the General Motors car executive who said, “I want you to tell me what’s the matter with GM even if it means losing your job!”
