Foreword
The first edition of this popular, widely used textbook was published
in 1993, and the authors have continually upgraded it with each new
edition including this one.
Such examples keep this book fresh and relevant; but the earlier
foreword, reprinted here, still captures the tone, spirit, and
achievements of these authors’ work.
Also, because the authors are, or have been at one time or another,
together or singly, not only psychologists and teachers but also
children, students, Boy Scouts, parents, professors (at the U.S. Air
Force Academy), Air Force officers, pilots, church members, athletes,
administrators, insatiable readers, and convivial raconteurs, their
stories and examples are drawn from a wide range of personal
sources, and their anecdotes ring true.
All leaders, no matter what their age and station, can find some
useful tips here, ranging over subjects such as body language,
keeping a journal, and how to relax under tension.
In several ways the authors have tried to help you, the reader, feel
what it would be like “to be in charge.” For example, they have
posed quandaries such as the following: You are in a leadership
position with a budget provided by an outside funding source. You
believe strongly in, say, Topic A, and have taken a strong, visible
public stance on that topic. The head of your funding source takes
you aside and says, “We disagree with your stance on Topic A.
Please tone down your public statements, or we will have to take
another look at your budget for next year.”

What would you do? Quit? Speak up and lose your budget? Tone
down your public statements and feel dishonest? There’s no easy
answer, and it’s not an unusual situation for a leader to be in. Sooner
or later, all leaders have to confront just how much outside
interference they will tolerate in order to be able to carry out
programs they believe in.
Preface
With each new edition, we have found ourselves both pleasantly
surprised (as in “You mean there’ll be another one?”) and also
momentarily uncertain just what new material on leadership we
might add—all the while knowing that in this dynamic field, there is
always new material to add. Illustrations from history and current
leadership practice seem inexhaustible, and there is always new
research that deepens both our conceptual understanding and
appreciation of evolving trends in the field.

“... My guns are better than the German guns ... for
instance, my 15-inch shell is equivalent to their 17-inch. The
issue is now one between Krupp’s and Birmingham.”
(Field-Marshal Sir John French to Mr. James O’Grady, M.P.,
quoted in the Daily News, August 23, 1915.)
“Too-too! Too-too! Too-too!”
“‘Ul-loh?” (wearily).
“Too-too! Too-too! Too-too!” (with insistence).
“‘Ul-loh?” (with vexation). “‘Ul-loh? ‘Ul-loh?”
The sounds issued forth from a low, cramped dug-out, where a
perspiring orderly, squatting on a box, huddled over a crepitating
telephone-receiver—not the “gentlemanly article” of your City office
or my lady’s boudoir, but a Brobdingnagian kind of instrument.
Fragments of conversation drifted out of the hole:
“’Oo? ... I can’t ’ear yer.... Oh! Yessir! Yessir! Yessir!”
Then a sentence was bawled and repeated from mouth to mouth
till it reached the orderly standing at the end of the trench. “The
Major of the Blankshires sends ’is compliments to Captain X, and
there’s a German working-party be’ind the village clearly visible. Will
Captain X send a few rounds over?”
The Captain turned wearily to the subaltern by his side
(Cambridge O.T.C., out since March, keen as mustard). “Did you
ever see such fellows?” he said. Then, to the orderly: “My
compliments to the Major, and we have been watching that working-
party for the past half-hour. Unfortunately, it is out of range. But tell
him, you can, that we have just dispersed another working-party over
by the bridge!”
This message is shouted from mouth to mouth, the telephone
toots again, but even before the Major in his dug-out a mile away
has had his answer, the battery is called up once more from another
quarter, with the request to “turn on for a bit” in some other direction.
So it goes on all day, and every day. The guns are the big brothers
of the trenches. To them the front line, like the small boy in a London
street row, appeals when bullied by the German artillery. To them the
men in the trenches look for protection against working-parties
preparing new “frightfulness,” against spying aircraft, against undue
activity on the part of the minenwerfer.
The gunners keep guard over the front line in a paternal and
benevolent, not to say patronizing spirit. Their business it is to find
places from which they can keep an eye on the enemy, watch the
effect of their shells, and see what the enemy’s guns are doing. No
matter that these places are exposed; no matter that the Germans
search for them with their guns like caddies “beating” the heather for
a lost ball; no matter that, sooner or later, they will be brought down
about the observers’ ears. Observation is a vital part of artillery work.
It saves British lives; it kills Germans.
When German “frightfulness” oversteps the bounds of what is
average and bearable, “retaliation” is the word that goes back to the
guns. When there are bursts of German “liveliness” going on all
along the line, the battery telephones (so the men in the fire-trenches
tell me) are so busy that to call up a battery is like trying to get the
box-office of the Palace Theatre on the telephone at dinner-time on a
Saturday night.
This word “retaliation” has a fine ring about it. To men with nerves
jaded by a long spell of shelling with heavy artillery it means a fresh
lease of endurance. To the least imaginative it conjures up a picture
of the Germans, exulting in their superiority of artillery, watching in
fascination from their parapets their “Jack Johnsons” and “Black
Marias” ploughing, among eddies of black smoke, great rifts in our
trench-lines, starting back in terror as, with a whistling screech, the
shells begin to arrive from the opposite direction.
Nothing puts life into weary troops like the sound of their own
shells screaming through the air and mingling with the noise of the
enemy’s guns. Nothing in the same way puts a greater strain on
men, even the most seasoned and hardened troops, than to have to
sit still under a fierce bombardment, and to know that their guns
must remain inactive because ammunition is limited to so many
rounds a day per gun.
