Whitford Book Draws Military Lessons for Organizational Change

Daniel Whitford announced Decisive Moments: How Five Commanders Rewrote American Military Strategy, a book that draws leadership lessons from Winfield Scott, Ulysses S. Grant, Chester Nimitz, Donn Starry and David Petraeus. It examines how leaders identify underlying problems, question assumptions, coordinate resources around a strategic direction and turn urgent lessons into lasting organizational practice. The book argues that familiar strategies and incremental adjustments may no longer work when circumstances change, making it essential to recognize when an organization needs a new course.
