1) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. Perdew´s book is a collection of anecdotes from famous people who are exceptionally talented and successful. So far as I know, all of these people are gentlemen and scholars and eat their veggies. Theyre attractive. They have the right stuff. They were born on 3rd base.

But most of us arent born on 3rd base, and are forced to make-do with the hand life deals us. Most of the time this hand is a collection of not much. Add to this a toxic neighborhood, dysfunctional family, and the usual assortment of idiots, psychopaths, and gold bricks who rule our world, and the average Jill is lucky to keep her job and her samity, much less be a knee-pad boy for The Donald.

This book doesnt provide any hints or lessons for coping with the insanity and injustice of life. Perdew´s recollections of West Point nonsense almost defy any sort of reasoned utility. The hazing he experienced creates egotistical martinettes to populate the officer corps with.

I didnt learn anything new from reading this book.¤

2) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. Kelly writes in a compelling way creating parallells and connections between him winning the various tasks on The Apprentice and his military experience. I like his style and his sense of taking responsibility even when things go wrong. Humility is deifinetely a trait a leader must develop!

I found the book a pleasant read and I liked the fact Kelly was talking a lot about the lessons he learnt in life and how these experiences enabled him to move on.¤

3) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. I grew up with some idea of what military life was like due to my Dad being in the Navy - but I must admit it´s never held a lot of interest for me. Reading Kelly´s book did actually shed a whole new light on what advantages military service can bring to other aspects of someone´s life. The principles that are discussed in the book (Duty, Impeccability, Passion, Perseverance, Planning, Teamwork, Loyalty, Flexibility, Selfless Service and Integrity) are all really worthy reading for anyone in business and the military slant I found surprisingly gave it more bite and interest.

4) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. This is a great book that draws comparisons between Kelly´s military service and his rise through the entrepreneurial ranks. I know Kelly personally, and he is not only a successfull businessman, he is also a devout humanitarian. Highly recommended!¤

5) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. This book by Apprentice winner Kelly Perdew is a worthwhile read. Written in the style of many military-business leadership books, it swtiches back and forth between Perdew´s Apprentice exploits and anecdotes from great military veterans turned business leaders. The stories about Perdew´s career, Apprentice tasks, and about others are both inspirational and entertaining. I am giving 4 stars because he talks about principles, but does not go deep into the reader´s application of them.

Nevertheless, this is a worthwhile read for both the Army or corporate officer.¤

6) Hardcover Book Take Command: 10 Leadership Principles I Learned in the Military and Put to Work for Donald Trump by Regnery Publishing, Inc.. In this book, Perdew outlines the 10 principles of effective leadership. He interviews business luminaries with military backgrounds, including Montel Williams, H. Ross Perot, and Roger Staubach. He talks about how his experience at West Point and as a young intelligence officer along the Berlin tripwire during the Cold War helped him to win The Apprentice.¤
