About Our Book
Leading to Win: The Model for Great Leadership as Demonstrated by Military History and the Messiah
Published in 2023 by Yankee Clipper Books, LLC
”If you want a task done right,
then assign the right person to do it!”
That insightful remark made to me by a senior mentor when I was an Air Force captain became the core of the leadership philosophy embedded within Leading to Win. In my first book, I share with the reader my own journey of discovery, describing those moments throughout my military career when I learned key leadership lessons that became the guiding principles of a comprehensive leadership model that will benefit leaders in all types of organizations.
The purpose of Leading to Win is to help leaders develop the habits that enable them to consistently deliver on key tasks and important missions. To reinforce each point, I included relevant stories from the past featuring famous military figures and even Jesus Christ, and some equally fascinating anecdotes from lesser-known characters.
By the time readers have finished this book, they will know a little bit more about history and a lot more about how to lead effectively, and in no time they’ll be leading to win, too!
