A Navy Admiral's Bronze Rules uses case studies to explore the
inherent risks of leadership and the tools available to those who
nevertheless wish to shoulder those responsibilities. Real world
examples are used and inevitably expose hitherto unrevealed
history. The latter includes a secret of the Yom Kippur War, the
background of the 1986 bloodless revolution in the Philippines, how
Admiral Bud Zumwalt was such a unique Chief of Naval Operations,
why our National War Plan suddenly had to be revised during the
Reagan years and what spurred President Clinton's anti-nuclear
proliferation success. Rear Adm. Oliver sketches the problems a
leader will routinely (and not-so routinely) face. He invites the
reader to consider the attributes which will help best prepare them
for future challenges. These thirty case studies demonstrate that
few real leadership problems will yield to a "one-hammer" solution.
No matter how good a practitioner may become with one leadership
style, one knock-them-dead ability seldom serves to get a leader
all the way through their problem or conflict. Adm. Oliver thus
provides a range of tools for different personalities and
situations. The potential leader thus has a range of solutions to
fit the problem as well as an individual's personal comfort zone.
