Bush nominated Ann Dunwoody as a four-star general in the US Army–the first time a woman had ever achieved that rank. The news generated excitement around the world. Now retired after nearly four decades in the army, Dunwoody shares what she learned along the way, from her first command leading a hundred soldiers to her final assignment, in which she led a $60 billion enterprise of over 69,000 employees, including the army’s global supply chain in support of Iraq and Afghanistan.What was the driving force behind Dunwoody’s success? While her talent as a logistician and her empathy in dealing with fellow soldiers helped her rise through the ranks, Dunwoody also realized that true leaders never stop learning, refining, growing, and adapting. In A Higher Standard, Dunwoody details her evolution as a soldier and reveals the core leadership principles that helped her achieve her historic appointment. Dunwoody’s strategies are applicable to any leader, no matter the size or scope of the organization. They include lessons such as “never walk by a mistake,” a mandate to recognize when something is wrong, big or small, and to hold people accountable. Not only can this save billions for an industry, it can sometimes save the lives of soldiers and citizens. She also advises that “leaders aren’t invincible–don’t try to be”; to be our best, we have to acknowledge our worst. And she encourages listeners to “leverage the power of diversity” by creating teams of people from different backgrounds to provide a broad range of ideas and devise the best-informed decisions.With these and other guiding principles, A Higher Standard offers practical, tactical advice that everyone can use to lead and achieve with maximum success. …more

This book is enjoyable to read as it follows General (US Army, Ret.) Ann Dunwoody’s wonderful and amazing life journey through career, family, and life. From her first days as a commissioned officer all the way to the Pentagon and her retirement from active duty. Throughout the book she grounds the narrative with lessons and principles. Guideposts.
This was a good book. It wasn’t great which was a bit disappointing to me considering that I have been hunting for it on the cheap for a while. The flow of the story wasn’t really there. It was more than a bit out of order. Rather than Gen. McChrystal’s biography that was fantastic, this one didn’t go in a linear fashion a hundred percent of the time. Sometimes things happened out of order and she would go from talking about her time as a Lieutenant General to her time as a Major or Lieutenant C This was a good book.

Sometimes things happened out of order and she would go from talking about her time as a Lieutenant General to her time as a Major or Lieutenant Colonel.
All of that said, the leadership lessons were relevant I think but they were not clearly defined as to what the lesson was. I could point out the major themes that are echoed throughout the military right now since I am in the military, but she didn’t state at the beginning of a chapter or otherwise what the actual lesson was in such a way that someone with no military background would find it easy to see in my opinion.
Additionally, she spent a significant amount of time talking about how much she downplayed the fact that she was a woman while she was in the military and then as a result of spending all her time doing that in the book spent what seemed like half the book talking about being a woman in the military. It was very clearly a biography not about a “Soldier” but instead about a “female Soldier” because of her constant reminder that she wasn’t a “female Soldier” but a “Soldier” if that makes any sense. Hopefully it does.
This was a terrific book. It may be because the General and I were assigned to the same places on some occasions and we shared some similar experiences but I really enjoyed this book. Looking back over her military career, she provides many useful insights and observations into the US Army and into the politics that goes into that career field. If I were to embark on a military career now, I would devour this book and keep it as a ready reference. I have seen too many young officers run afoul of This was a terrific book.

If I were to embark on a military career now, I would devour this book and keep it as a ready reference. I have seen too many young officers run afoul of the “system” and this book might just help them to navigate their way through it. There were a few factual errors in the book but they were not serious enough to change the tone or content in any way. Its just a problem with the publisher’s fact checker who was not performing their job as well as the General was performing hers. Don’t be deterred by a couple of miniscule mistakes, read this book and enjoy the message it imports. …more
