Over the years many people have asked me, "What is the secret to great leadership?" I always answered the question by discussing my tried and true leadership principles that I fully cover in this book. Leadership development is a lifelong journey. Take the time to continue your journey. This great book takes the epic challenge of leadership down to the basic fundamentals for aspiring young leaders. I explain my leadership principles to give my readers additional techniques to improve their skills. It is a must-read for transitioning or retiring military personnel who are about to navigate the difficult task of translating their military leadership skills into useful civilian leadership. Seasoned leaders who want to refresh and hone their fundamental leadership skills or to experience a military leadership point of view, will benefit from reading this book. Reflect on my real world stories and experiences I present so you can improve your leadership performance.
