Maybe you've been gunning for a supervisor position for ages, or perhaps you've unexpectedly been thrust into a leadership role. Nevertheless, the question remains - what now? Like all skills, leadership must be practiced and honed. But when an inexperienced boss is pulled in countless different directions and has the weight of an organization suddenly bearing down on them, self-improvement and training tend to take a back seat. Join Captain Daniel Johnston of the U.S. Air Force as he sheds light on what it takes to be a leader vs. a boss. Drawing from his military career as well as history, literature, and pop culture, Capt. Johnston divides the leadership skillset into two disciplines: Management and Motivation.

Included in this informative and heartfelt guide are: Be more than a boss. Be a two-part leader. Personal experiences from an Air Force officer on leadership lessons learned in the field Stories of leaders such as FDR, Genghis Khan, Dumbledore, and Esther which embodied the principles of Management and Motivation Questions at the end of each chapter to reflect upon and help implement newly-learned leadership skills within your own organization A call to action to help you lead efficiently, humbly, and wisely.

MARCHING ORDERS VOLUME THREE: MASTER AND COMMANDER by Otis H. Corbitt, III Pdf

In our lives, in both the spiritual and secular realms, it is important to know “who’s the boss?” As we will see in these pages, Jesus Christ is our Master and Commander. This is Volume Three of Marching Orders, which like the previous volumes, is a book of devotionals intended for use by members of the Reserve Components of the United States Armed Forces attending Annual Training. As I said in the introduction to Volume One, Annual Training is a unique experience which can only really be understood by someone who has "been there and done that,” and, as a retired Army National Guard Chaplain I think that I qualify on that account. The purpose of this book is simple: to provide daily devotionals from the Christian Bible for troops attending Annual Training. Depending on the Reserve Component one is assigned to and the location where it is conducted, an Annual Training period can be 14, 15, or 17 days long. Reserve Component units that train overseas can be on duty for as much as 21 days. To split the difference, this book provides 17 days of devotionals. If we carefully review the Biblical record of the ministry of Jesus, we begin seeing something new. The Old Testament is full of the acts of God as He carefully unfolded His plan to redeem the world, but in the Gospels, we can see Him personally. We will see the Master of the Universe walking amongst His creation and demonstrating His power and control. By the end of this series of devotionals, we will clearly see Jesus as our Master and Commander, convincingly answering the question of “who’s the boss?” Some of the included devotionals will include illustrations and applications from military service while others will be more general in nature; however, every devotional found within will be based on God’s Word. Please note that I have chosen to use the King James translation of the Scriptures in this book for several reasons. First, the King James Bible has historically been the most commonly used translation among Protestants. In addition, the New Testaments provided to troops by the Gideons are usually in the King James Version and so this book will complement their efforts. Finally, according to the American Bible Society, the King James text is in the public domain, which resolves any copyright issues over its use in this book. Feel free, however, to read the focal passage of each day’s devotion in the translation of the Bible that best suits your needs. Some of the included devotionals will have a military theme, but not all of them do. However, as I said above, all of them do have a basis in Scripture and in the tenets of the Christian faith. I trust that they will encourage and sustain the reader during the trials and triumphs of Annual Training. Every blessing, Chaplain Otis Corbitt

The Gouge! by Robert Harward Pdf

You are measured by what you do for others, not by what you have accomplished for yourself. The Gouge, in military parlance, is what you really need to know in order to be smarter than the situation you are in. As a US Navy SEAL, who became a Vice Admiral, Bob Harward lived by the Gouge and used it as a guiding principle for leadership and day-to-day life. More specifically, his success in his military and corporate careers was predicated on the people who worked with him, and for him. Their ability to meet their personal and professional objectives, ensured his success. The Gouge was a persistent and proactive focus on their success, to ensure they, and he, could succeed in all of their endeavors. Now, he is sharing it with the world. In this book, he uses life stories to illustrate how anyone can use the Gouge, not only for their own well-being but also for any organization or community. At its foundation, it is your personal contract with people and humanity. In this book, Harward boils all of this down into the Gouge philosophy and its key ingredients: on how to move yourself and the people around you forward, using the best information and experienced based knowledge, so that you too can live by the Gouge.

One Mission by Chris Fussell,C. W. Goodyear Pdf

From the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Team of Teams, a practical guide for leaders looking to make their organizations more interconnected and unified in the midst of sudden change. Too often, companies end up with teams stuck in their own silos, pursuing goals and metrics in isolation. Their traditional autocratic structures create stability, scalability, and predictability -- but in a world that demands rapid adaptation to a new reality, this traditional model simply doesn’t work. In Team of Teams, retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal and former Navy SEAL Chris Fussell made the case for a new organizational model combining the agility, adaptability, and cohesion of a small team with the power and resources of a giant organization. Now, in One Mission, Fussell channels all his experiences, both military and corporate, into powerful strategies for unifying isolated and distrustful teams. This practical guide will help leaders in any field implement the Team of Teams approach to tear down their silos improve collaboration, and avoid turf wars. By committing to one higher mission, organizations develop an overall capability that far exceeds the sum of their parts. From Silicon Valley software giant Intuit to a government agency on the plains of Oklahoma, organizations have used Fussell’s methods to unite their people around a single compelling vision, resulting in superior performance. One Mission will help you follow their example to a more agile and resilient future.
