From the Battlefield to the Boardroom
The truth of the matter is that in any kind of organization - military or civilian - things can blow up. And when they do - when that crisis comes - you'll want to meet it, defeat it, learn from it, and persevere. The only way to do that is through thoughtful, decisive, honest leadership - and through crisis planning and crisis response that works. Travel with Rob Campbell to Afghanistan, 2009, when an improvised explosive device (IED) went "Boom!" and an entire battalion was tested in the wake of a soldier's death. Learn how they persevered in ways that you can too - by:
Communicating calmly and carefully Acting decisively with courage, confidence, and creativity Prioritizing appropriately And so much more ...
A Practical Book for Modern Leaders
How is a great business leader like a good military commander? They go on the offensive, knowing "defense never wins." The offense is characterized by initiative, tenacity, and opportunity. It means, quite simply, getting off your duff - stepping forward and moving toward threats to find them, fix them, and finish them. In times of crisis, it's imperative that we turn not to emotions and erratic thought but to reason, principles, values, and training. This book teaches you how.
Left and Right of the Boom helps leaders at all levels and in all industries get their arms around the complexities of leading organizations through high-stakes change and crisis. Instructive scenarios and real-life examples help the reader understand the crisis-management concepts, so they'll be ready when the time comes. Boom!
Complete with Battlefield Tips and Reflection Questions to help you take the learning from the theoretical to the practical. This book is about action and it's about now. And it's for you.
