Leading Intelligence Analysis

Written by an experienced professional who has led Navy Intelligence and CIA analysts in high-stakes intelligence situations, Leading Analysis introduces the fundamental managerial skills needed to lead analysis projects conducted by individuals and teams. This book provides leaders with practical tools to establish and maintain high-functioning analyst teams. Bruce Pease provides insights into key questions such as: What kind of environment draws out their best work. What brings out their creativity? When does pressure bring out their best insights? When does pressure sap their intellectual energy? What kind of team builds new knowledge, rather than digging the deep rut of group-think?
This book draws on the author’s perspective from decades of leading intelligence analysts on critical issues, including war in the Middle East, terrorism after 9/11, and nuclear threats.
