Book Takeaways
WHEN THE PLAN FAILS, LEADERSHIP BEGINS.
Real-world leadership lessons forged in combat and applied in the boardroom.
In Afghanistan, I was tasked with helping protect the Vice President of the United States during a high-risk mission.
When I reviewed the planning, I discovered serious gaps that could have resulted in catastrophe.
There was no time to wait for someone else to fix the problem. Decisions had to be made, risks had to be addressed, and the mission had to succeed.
That experience taught me something I’ve carried throughout my military and business careers:
Leadership isn’t about having the perfect plan. It’s about knowing what to do when the plan falls apart.
In From the Front Lines to the Boardroom, I share real experiences from combat and explain how those lessons translate into leadership, business, and life.
