"Okay let's go." And we started another close at Publix. I am usually scheduled to close the Deli at Publix. I look forward to the challenge almost every night, because closing is a difficult task. You need to be able to give 100% of your attention to the customers while being flexible enough to get the cleaning done. Also we need to restock the floor so that there is product to sell to customers the next day. On top of all that we need to work together as a team, which is not always easy. The book Lead like Ike is a great game plan for getting to the much needed success of our store. Eisenhower began the Longest Day (D-Day) with the words: "Okay Let's Go" And he took full responsibility for implementation of the plan. "Eisenhower's career as D-Day's CEO provides an encyclopedic case study for designing and implementing organizational strategies" ." P xvii Lead like Ike was a hard book to read straight through, I had every intention to finish the book quickly, but the book took me a long time to read. The book's narrative did not have enough spice to capture my interest. Lead Like Ike did not create a flow that could not be denied. I am also not sure that this book would be one I could share with my work team, as I think it may bore them silly. But the book is a good resource. I plan to refer to it when I come across a sticky wicket in the Publix Deli. 78 out of a 100 A Hesitant Cluck Hæderspriser
Who was the greatest CEO of the twentieth century? A persuasive case can be made for General Dwight D. "Ike" Eisenhower, who undertook history's most harrowing executive assignment: Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe on June 6, 1944. In Lead Like Ike, business journalist and communications guru Geoff Loftus explores ten essential business strategies leaders can glean from Ike's role as a commander overseeing the Normandy invasion. Weaving a fly on-the-wall narrative from Ike's perspective, Loftus sweeps readers into a gripping story that honors the sacrifice of all who fought and died on D-Day while exploring the prevailing significance of fundamental leadership principles often forgotten by managers--things like listen to your people, set your vision, be consistent about your message, and let your managers manage. Highly acclaimed by CEOs, VPs, and other notable business leaders, this intriguing and highly instructive guide draws readers to a cache of battle-tested strategies and tactics with direct applications to help you through even the most high-stakes challenges of modern-day business leadership.

This is an interesting book. The author takes a unique approach to a business leadership book and pulls it off quite nicely. Throughout the book there are modern-day examples to aid in the illustration and each chapter ends with “debriefing notes,” which are takeaway points from the chapter. The final chapter summarizes the business strategies found in the rest of the book and invites the reader to evaluate his/her own performance in regard to each strategy. Lead Like Ike is also a fascinating look at one of the most important military actions of World War II. Much more than just a business leadership guide, it offers a fresh angle on the events leading up to the Normandy invasion. I was drawn in to the story and learned a great deal.
Lead Like Ike is a great book for anyone in a leadership role, especially business leadership, and is also well-suited to anyone who enjoys history.
