A General’s Notes
Publisher: Atlas Contact
Inspiring lessons for your career and personal life from Holland’s best-known soldier
At the age of seventeen, Peter van Uhm chose a career in the armed forces. Forty years later, he left the service as the highest Dutch military officer, with more than sixty thousand people under his command. During that time he carried around a small notebook and jotted down valuable lessons.
In this book, Van Uhm shares his personal insights and lessons in leadership. Lessons that are useful within the armed forces but definitely also beyond. Lessons about trust and dealing with criticism. About courage, guilt, and responsibility. And about how you can also be in charge, even if only of your own behavior.
