This book reveals the story of how the first large learning organization was formed. Emerging around 1870, it involved an organizational transformation that followed a disaster some 60 years earlier. The great success of this process was the introduction of a totally new approach to leadership ℓ́ℓ a competitive edge that would go undetected for another 100 years. The original development involved the Prussian/German Army under a great leader, Helmut von Moltke. NATO countries finally discovered this ℓ́ℓsecret weapon,ℓ́ℓ which they have since implemented in their mission command centers, in the 1980s. The book distils five underlying features or pillars of the transformed organization, and describes how they can be applied in civilian organizations to attain a state of Mission Mastery. Never before published, these ideas are supplemented by numerous references and practical examples to illustrate the persuasive power of the case made ℓ́ℓ namely that most civilian organizations are weak in terms of the five key ingredients needed for Mission Mastery. ℓ́ℓThis book is a must-read for all charged with developing tomorrow's leaders.ℓ́ℓ Sir Michael Perry, GBE ℓ́ℓ previously Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Unilever, Chairman of Centrica, Chairman of the Senior Salaries Review Body, Independent Director at Singapore Technologies Telemedia Pte.
