|  | The Rumsfeld Way by Jeffrey A. Krames
This study of the leadership skills of Donald Rumsfeld examines his work in the corporate sector as well as the many times he has answered the call of public service--often at the request of the highest official of the land. Rumsfeld`s approaches to problems and solutions, as well as his flexibility, help to explain his unqualified success as Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush when he led the invasion of Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks. AUTHOR: Jeffrey A. Krames
