This book presents six principles practiced within the POW organizational culture that can be used to develop high-performance teams everywhere. The authors offer examples from both the POWs' time in captivity and their later professional lives that identify, in real-life situations, the characteristics necessary for sustainable, high-performance teamwork. Taylor Baldwin Kiland and Peter Fretwell show readers how to apply these principles to their own organizations and create a culture with staying power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally intending their book to focus on fighter pilot James Stockdale's leadership style, the authors found that his approach toward completing a mission was to assure that it could be accomplished without him. Stockdale, they explain, had created a mission-centric organization, not a leader-centric organization. He understood that a truly sustainable culture must not be dependent on a single individual. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682472170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Taylor Baldwin Kiland, Peter Fretwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36665685639324,"sku":"9781682472170","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8ba33c87-5cdf-4232-b75e-b7ae79564941.jpg?v=1603910128","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lessons-from-the-hanoi-hilton-six-characteristics-of-high-performance-teams-9781682472170","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
