The Three Meter Zone - by J D Pendry (Paperback)

About the Book

Will enlighten some noncommissioned officers...and frighten others. The book, based on experience throughout a long and successful career, is about leadership from the NCO perspective instead of the officer perspective.--Army Magazine

Book Synopsis

A pocket-sized guide to being a good leader, for non-commissioned officers (NCOs). Discusses US Army values in 'user-friendly' terms, from the perspective of a former member of the NCO core. Introduces three different types of leadership styles for 3-meter, 50-meter, and 100-meter soldiers.
