Declining budgets and withdrawing military forces seem to spell a
period of diminishing influence for U.S. business and government
officials overseas. Not so Bees and Spiders provides answers on how
to develop real influence that does not come through massive
military presence or big budgets. These answers promote the idea of
influence through developing relationships. Such relationships can
provide influence that lasts even when there is little money and
few military forces. This influence is lasting because it is
empathy-based. Bees and Spiders explains the critical nature of
developing empathy, and provides usable and useful recommendations
for turning simple understanding into the possibility of seeing the
world from another perspective. Brian L. Steed is a lieutenant
colonel in the U.S. Army and currently serves as an instructor of
military history at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff
College. He served in the Middle East for more than eight and a
half years. During that time he was an officer in the Jordanian
Army, a liaison to the Israel Defense Forces, an advisor and
analyst in Iraq, and responsible for coordinating all training
between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates. He has traveled
extensively to nearly every Arabic-speaking country. This book
comes from a seminar series he designed and taught to help
advisers, and was later used for business executives in the United
Arab Emirates. His three previous books are about applied history,
and military and organizational theory. Publisher's website: http:
