Summary: Timely Book for Developing Leaders
Comment: Reviewer is the Director of the Center for Career and Leadership Development at Purdue University Calumet, a regional campus of Purdue University located in Northwest Indiana.
I don't follow politics very closely. However, I became intrigued with Donald Rumsfeld simply by watching some of his press conferences. So I decided to explore the character a bit further by reading Mr. Krames' book, "The Rumsfeld Way" - and I'm glad I did! The book has some biographical elements in it, which allow the reader to understand Rumsfeld the man. But best of all, the book is loaded with practical tips and tactics used by Rumsfeld the leader. I highly recommend "The Rumsfeld Way" for anyone looking to develop his or her leadership style so that they are highly understood in any situation and well prepared to handle anything that comes their way. In my job, I help college students to develop their leadership abilities and I have used the information presented in Mr. Krames' previous book ("The Jack Welch Lexicon of Leadership") in some of the training classes we conduct. Likewise, I plan to use this new book the same way because my students will be able to relate to its timeliness.

Summary: Leadership at its Finest
Comment: I consider myself a student of leadership having read a number of books on leadership over the past fifteen years. The Rumsfeld Way by Jeffrey Krames is a first class portrayal of leadership at its finest. It's an easy read but Krames does a nice job of outlining key points at the end of each chapter that can be used with one's day-to-day leadership opportunities.
The book underscores the little things that make up leadership such as listening before action and assessing a situation before setting a course of action. I found the book builds on our knowledge base of leadership while also introducing a number of user friendly techniques for those opportunties that confront most of us in our daily walk. From my perspective...it's a must read!

Summary: Little substace
Comment: This book has very little substance. It written in a strange style, and little summaries at the end of each chapter. This is a very fast read, double spaced and all. Though this book does have some interesting facts it is far from a bio or an account of Rumsfelds time as SoD. I wouldn't pay full price for this book, but if you want a quick read get it used!
