This excellent book challenges popular assumptions about British Army leadership, revealing what makes it the "gold standard"' Matthew Syed, author of Rebel Ideas Developed in some of the most demanding situations imaginable over centuries of war and peace, army leadership is a sophisticated endeavour that has kept pace with societal change and the challenges of the modern world. In the military, the stakes couldn't be higher, and exceptional leadership is crucial every day.

As it is not one swallow or a fine day that makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man blessed and happy.” Exploring questions that are fundamental to leadership in any area of life - how to build trust and cohesion, achieve a balance between control and delegation, and deliver results in the face of adversity - the book draws on Lt Col Sharp's own experience and the latest research in military history, business, sociology, psychology and behavioural science. We see that leadership is not about the heroic exception, but the habitual practice of doing what is right, difficult and necessary every single day to build a team, look after the people in it and work towards the next objective. The Habit of Excellence is a unique insight into British Army leadership, explaining what makes it unique, what makes it so effective and what civilians can take from it to become better leaders themselves. Drawing on the latest research in military history, business, sociology, psychology and behavioural science, and with compelling illustration from British Army operations across the centuries, Lt Col Langley Sharp MBE goes beyond the latest leadership fads to distil into one peerlessly authoritative work the essence of leading and leadership from one of the world's most revered institutions. From the outside, these four lives look very different, but they have a common thread. They take pride in their work and they do it well. That is the foundation of excellence; to use the talents and tools we have available to us to improve the world. It doesn't matter if we are hemming a skirt, drawing a picture, reporting on the world news, or serving coffee, to do it with integrity and faithfulness is to glorify God.

An extraordinary read for any leader . Truly brilliant' General Stanley McChrystal, author of Team of Teams Offers proven tools and strategies ... This excellent book challenges popular assumptions about British Army leadership, revealing what makes it the gold standard -- Matthew Syed, author of Rebel Ideas This very readable book uncovers the skills and qualities that have made Sandhurst a byword for effective leadership. I could not recommend this exceptional book more -- General The Lord David Richards, former Chief of the Defence Staff The shorter, more popular version of this Aristotle quote has become a guideline for many people who are seeking excellence and success in their lives. Given all that we have discussed, it’s quite clear that the pursuit of excellence is nothing more than a state of mind that leads to positive action. These actions over time turn into habits, and these habits turn into concrete results that separate you from the masses. However, this is a process. Habits are not developed overnight. It takes time to develop the habits that lead to a life of excellence. But it, of course, all starts with the right mindset.
