Bøger af Thomas Gast

- What a modern leader needs is the time-proven trinity of head, heart and balls! - Thomas Gast frequently taps into his tough times in the French Foreign Legion, and the anecdotes he relates and transfers into the realms of modern management serve to illustrate the importance of timeless virtues: Leading by example in fast-paced and volatile environments; learning to delegate; appreciating individuals and their skills when forging a team; creating corporate culture; taking pride in a code of honour and excellence, etc.

This book is the perfect guide for anyone interested in joining the French Foreign Legion. Do you meet the entry requirements? What needs special attention? Will you be able to get out of the contract? Do you have to speak French? How fit do you really have to be? Are tattoos or glasses a problem? How can I prepare physically, etc.? All the answers meet the latest standards. - I advise no one to join the French Foreign Legion on the assumption of glamour or glory - the Author says: Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. (William Jennings Bryan).
