Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lord Kitchener: His Work and His Prestige Reserved and secret as he was with men whose character he had not tested, he was open and confiding with those whose honesty and discretion he had been able to appreciate. With them he was in no dread of expressing himself, and he would listen to objections and bring to a discussion a surprising sincerity, frankness, and even gaiety. In public or with his subordinates his calm was imperturbable. He was cold and never relaxed, because he had the art of making men obey him. He knew that authority can only be won by commanding respect, and that excessive familiarity, empty words, and an effusive manner detract from the power to command. His impassivity was deliberate, and, as a leader must never show signs of a moment´s hesitation, his orders were curt and precise, and he never went back on an order once it was given.
