Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun

I've read countless management books and given away so many copies of Attila that I never had a copy for myself. Kindle was a great solution, but seriously, this is the best management book ever written. I am amazed as I reread it just how deeply the principles have influenced my career. A true classic and a must-read for managers of any type.

I first read this book years ago. Attila was a pretty smart guy and a formidable warrior. I believe he was the first leader to advise "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer." As a youth he was exchanged for a rival leader's son; both sides had the assurance there would be no attack as long as they each, in essence, a 'hostage'. While Attila was in the enemy encampment he learned all their secrets and when the sons were exchanged later he had all the intelligence about the enemy to pass on to his father and to use himself when he became leader. Pretty smart guy.

An excellent, thought provoking book. Wess Roberts was formerly a member of the US Army Combat Arms Training Board and also an eminent Academic. He uses Attila as a novel and interesting way of getting across points about Leadership. It is primarily a book on Leadership and any references to Attila should be regarded as tenuous. It is definately NOT a historical reference book.All in all a very good 'read'. Some points raised may be considered controversial but they should be considered in a balanced way when looking at the broad issue of leadership.
