Title: More that just a biography, a management primer.
Product review: The title could have been called: how a leader can successfully deal with bureaucracy while maintaining high standards and values. If you read the 2008 book "Influencer - the power to change anything" Rickover was an "influencer virtuoso". Rickover understood the dynamics of motivation and ability at the three [personal, social and structural] levels. Rickover did some unusual things with the people who reported to him [many mostly harmless "social experiments" intentionally placing people in unusual and challenging situations, to see what people were made of] which I frequently found humorous. People that say Rickover was a "nut case" are only capable of seeing the outer layer of the onion. Inside is a brilliant intellect, leader and manager.
