Description
"In his early teens Horatio Nelson was commanding boats with up to 20 oarsmen, and from the age of 18 he took charge of ships taken as prizes. At 21 he was a captain, responsible for hundreds of men. By Trafalgar, through his close network of captains, his 'band of brothers', he was responsible for the fate of 40 ships and tens of thousands of men.". "Nelson was both a complex and a modern leader and an understanding of his career sheds new light on methods of leadership and management. In Nelson's Way Jones and Gosling reveal that rare combination: an outstandingly diligent manager and an inspiring leader. Nelson cared for individuals and took a real interest in their lives. He had an ability to build confidence and arouse ambition and commitment in all around him. He was dedicated to his profession. He was possessed of twin passions: the call of duty and for Emma Hamilton, the love of his life, and found difficulty balancing the two.". "Nelson showed loyalty to his captains, his officers and his men, and he expected this of them in return. Jones and Gosling ask a series of provocative leadership questions inspired by Nelson's own approach to leading: Why be a leader? Do you need to be an expert in your field to lead your field? Should you be visible and lead form the front, or practise quiet leadership? How do you balance your personal and working life? Why be a team player? Can you be a leader and a manager? Why should others follow you? What will be your legacy?"--BOOK JACKET.
