Summary

Command Hierarchies explores the crucial role of organizational structure in military success, examining how different command models impact efficiency and strategic decision-making. The book argues that no single structure is universally optimal; effectiveness depends on aligning the organizational model with the conflict's characteristics and the force's capabilities. For example, while Roman legions favored rigid hierarchies, modern special forces often utilize decentralized approaches. Understanding these structures provides valuable insights into both military and organizational leadership.

 
The book traces the evolution of command structures from antiquity to the present, using historical battles and campaigns as case studies. Chapters delve into specific models like the Prussian staff system and networked command structures, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. This approach highlights the enduring principles of military management applicable beyond the battlefield, such as delegation, communication, and accountability.

 
The book concludes by synthesizing lessons learned and considering the impact of emerging technologies, like AI, on future command hierarchies. By drawing on primary sources and integrating military history with management theory, Command Hierarchies offers valuable insights for military professionals, students, and anyone interested in organizational leadership.

    Managers and leaders are buried beneath an avalanche of data and obligations made possible by our interconnected world. In the 38 countries where AT Kearney operates, this has caused leadership and decision-making strategies sto be tymied and delayed. As a result, people (and organizations) everywhere are feeling disoriented, bewildered, and even paralyzed.  The causes range from the proliferation of product choice to the relentless "information smog" of 24/7 always-on email and social media.  The results include not just overload, but a degraded ability to think and act decisively.  This book sets out the four guiding principles that will lead us out from under the avalanche and into a more productive future: simplify, decrease, innovate, and plan.

    Tom Szaky sets out to do the impossible - eliminate all waste. This book paints a future of a "circular economy" that relies on responsible reuse and recycling to propel the world towards eradicating overconsumption and waste. 
 
 
The Future of Packaging provides a straightforward solution to tackling the daunting issues of waste in the packaging industry by returning to a "circular economy." Beginning with a critique of the irresponsibility of the packaging industry and its contributions to wastefulness, Tom Szaky and his coauthors illuminate the path towards a waste-free future with lessons from the past. The goal of this book is to serve as a guide for designing a circular economy, showcasing how the world has moved away from circular systems of consumption (i.e. refillable milk/water/beer) to largely linear systems (i.e. milk bags/plastic bottles/plastic kegs). Objects were circular up until the 1940s, after which complex materials and a culture of consumerism began to create waste that nature couldn't handle. The way to get back to more circular systems starts with design and, after that, implementing systems. With the support and experiences of industry leaders in sustainable development, Szaky helps readers make the shift from a linear economy, which depends on extracting resources and overconsumption, to a circular economy that allows for growth.
