The Three Meter Zone: Common Sense Leadership for NCOs
Welcome to the world of the noncommissioned officer, the ultimate in hands-on, front-line leadership: the three meter zone where the work of the soldier occurs. During peacetime, the noncommissioned officer (NCO) trains the troops and provides the single most important example of what it takes to be a soldier. During war, NCOs storm the ramparts, leading their soldiers in combat. Many books have been written by officers, especially senior flag officers, on the demands of high command and what it takes to lead armies. Fewer are the books by junior level, company grade officers, on small unit leadership. Virtually absent are studies of leadership by those for which it is an imperative, every moment thing. In The Three Meter Zone we finally have a full fledged study of leadership for NCOs, by an NCO.
