In its one hundred-year fight against the ever-changing tactics of organized crime and terrorism, the FBI has learned invaluable lessons about powerful leadership and management. Like many companies, the FBI must succeed on a global playing field with limited resources; it must deal with unforeseen challenges and long-term strategic threats. Former Marine Dan Carrison has had unprecedented access to the inner workings of the FBI. Here he offers an insider's look at the Bureau, taking readers behind the scenes of some of the FBI's most important missions—from infiltrating a world-wide drug cartel to closing in on a terrorist cell. Managers will learn how to: cultivate an “All for One, One for All” corporate culture • create a Ten-Most-Want­ed customer list • maintain a sense of readiness, and think on their feet • deploy task force management • and more Instructive and exciting, From the Bureau to the Boardroom will show all leaders how to win in the marketplace and stay true to core values, no matter how tense or challenging the situation.
