Principles of Decision-Making and People...A Soldier's Perspective

by Warren Pennicooke

Overview

The Military Decision-Making Process is not a panacea. It cannot be. Humans are involved and flawed because of our conscious and unconscious nature. Despite that, the Military Decision-Making Process is a blueprint. Using the MDMP methodology, the book will familiarize the reader with the workings of the MDMP while addressing some of today's challenging problems by first looking at some of the errors leaders make in decision-making. Address some of the particular issues the process could tackle, and have tackled, all while highlighting the people within the process and how their contributions are intricately tied to success.

About the Author

Sergeant First Class Warren. S. Pennicooke retired after twenty years of Army service, including four combat tours to Iraq. In addition to Iraq, he served tours in Fort Devens, Massachusetts, Grafenwöhr, Germany, Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Camp Casey, Korea; Fort Knox, Kentucky; and finally, in both the 2nd and 3rd brigades of the 25th Infantry Division, Hawaii.

He has also served in various positions as an Academy Instructor, Observer Controller, Battle Staff Instructor, Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Operations NCO, Truckmaster, and First Sergeant. His service medals include four Bronze Star Medals, the Meritorious Service Medal, and four Army Commendation Medals. He is a member of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club.

Without the insight, countless reviews, and encouragement from Mr. David L. Porter author of "Taking Fire", Memoir of an Aerial Scout in Vietnam, and Mr. Chip Richardson who appears courtesy of griffingorge.com; colleagues, veterans, and published authors in their own respects, this project would not have reached its full fruition.
My heartfelt gratitude.

Editorial Reviews

The Military Decision-Making Process is not a panacea, writes Pennicooke, but it is "a blueprint that depicts how leaders can make better decisions when they remove insularity from their decision-making processes and include the well-intended input of people."

"A single point of failure can be the demise of the entire system," writes Pennicooke. Principles of Decision-Making and People is written to ensure that this doesn't happen
