Why are the best leaders the ones who are most adept at following?
What should we expect of those who have the privilege of leading?
And what may leaders expect of those who follow them? Drawing upon
a military career spanning more than four decades, General Martin
Dempsey, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, examines the
limits of loyalty, the necessity of sensible skepticism, and the
value of responsible rebelliousness, and explains why we actually
should sweat the small stuff. No Time for Spectators takes readers
behind the closed doors of the Situation Room, onto the
battlefields of Iraq, and to the East German border at the height
of the Cold War. It contends that relationships between leaders and
followers-employers and employees, politicians and constituents,
coaches and athletes, teachers and students-are most productive
when based on certain key mutual expectations. The book begins from
the premise that life is not a spectator sport. Especially not
today, especially not at a time when issues are so complex,
information is so pervasive, scrutiny is so intense, and the stakes
are so high. No Time for Spectators may not be the answer to all of
our problems, but it is a clarion call for those who are actually
interested in solving them.
