Synopsis

Wayne Heard’s book THE ULTIMATE GUIDE FOR CEOs is compelling and provides a dynamic approach to problem solving. These principles are applicable to all levels of military command or civilian management. The book is an in-depth study of methods and practices that will improve one’s chances of success. It is well researched and full of good examples – “lessons learned have to be discussed and corrected,” “failures are failures,” “learn to ask the right questions,” and “after action reviews start immediately.” This book is well written and deserves attention.

À propos de l'auteur

MR. WAYNE HEARD is a former Green Beret Officer, living in Europe and working in support of Department of Defense.Because of Wayne's reputation for writing, teaching, training, and project management, while in uniform, he was called out of retirement in 2004 and asked to shepherd a new program for the Army-Personnel Recovery- formerly known as combat search and rescue operations. Initially, he helped write the Army's how-to book on the subject and then worked in the Pentagon to help guide the creation of the Army's program. Afterwards, Wayne worked with units in Iraq and Afghanistan in preparing for, preventing, and responding to events having the potential for the captivity of U.S. personnel.Wayne has also worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration to prepare their agents working overseas in high-risk areas. He has written several magazine articles on leadership and management.Wayne began his military career in the 82nd Airborne Division in 1972.
