In a time when the world's great businesses - from IBM and General Motors to Wal-Mart and Microsoft - are struggling with the challenge of change, a surprising source of powerful leadership ideas has emerged: the new U.S. Army. A global powerhouse with nearly 1.5 million employees, an annual budget of $6.3 billion, and strategic alliances in every major nation, the Army is one of the world's vastest, most complex organizations.

It has retooled for the Information Age, tackled and mastered a bewildering array of new missions, and moved to shed decades-old bureaucratic methods - all while dramatically downsizing. In Hope Is Not a Method, General Gordon R. Sullivan, the Army Chief of Staff who led the transformation, and Colonel Michael V. Harper, one of his key strategic planners and thinkers, provide."@en

  • "Since the end of the Cold War, the United States Army has been reengineered and downsized more thoroughly than any other business. In the early 1990s, General Sullivan, army chief of staff, and Colonel Harper, his key strategic planner, took the post-Cold War army into the Information Age. Faced with a 40 percent reduction in staff and funding, they focused on new peacetime missions, dismantled a cumbersome bureaucracy, reinvented procedures, and set the guidelines for achieving a vast array of new goals. Hope Is Not a Method explains how they did it and shows how their experience is extremely relevant to today's businesses. From how to stay on top of long-range issues to how to maintain a productive work force during times of change, it offers invaluable lessons in leadership and provides proven tactics any business can implement. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en
