Books with author GEN David A Bramlett

THE WINNER OF MULTIPLE AWARDS and a #1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER, this book vividly brings to life 50 years of leadership and life lessons, told in a compelling and sometimes very personal way. A master storyteller, the author does this in 24 easily digestible chapters, starting with "character," the basic building block for all great leaders. From there, he addresses the importance of trust, four different methods of mentoring, delivering under pressure, setting organizational expectations, breaking down cultural barriers, effective communications, leaving a legacy, risk management, and many more topics that have everyday application for all of us.Widely acclaimed by dozens of corporate leaders and senior military leaders, he has the unique ability to connect to readers through storytelling and takeaways that anyone can then apply: in the corporate world, the non-profit community, or simply in your everyday life. Two bonus appendices are included that are tools he personally used as a senior leader in the military: his "Philosophy of Command" -- time tested over 30 years -- and a self-reflection on himself as a leader titled "Whelden on Whelden."You will not be disappointed!FROM THE BACK COVER:"Craig Whelden is a true servant leader, with this book representing the latest chapter in his life of service." -- Pete Geren, Former Secretary of the Army"If you have even the slightest interest in the art of inspiring people, this is a must read." -- GENERAL Gordon Sullivan, 32d Army Chief of Staff"Filled with inspirational leadership nuggets for everyone." -- GENERAL Ann Dunwoody, America's first female four-star general"Leadership does not exist in a vacuum, it is as effective as one's ability to communicate, motivate, and activate.
