Front-Line Leadership

Expand your leadership toolkit and help others achieve their full potential with these empowering stories and lessons from the battlefield.

In Front-Line Leadership: How to Eliminate Complacency and Build All-In Engagement, experienced leader and veteran Patrick Nelson delivers an inspiring and exciting discussion of real-world leadership that changes lives and gets results. Born out of his experience as a paratrooper in the US Army—where he led soldiers during three combat deployments and earned a Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart—the book explores first-hand accounts of the author's time in combat that shed light on how you can lead men and women in academic, business, non-profit, military, and governmental settings.

The book offers deep insights into developing a growth mindset, service-based leadership, forward-looking accountability, and how to build self-awareness. The stories within make it clear that leadership is not just a position or title, but rather the behaviours that we demonstrate. Additionally, each chapter culminates with a practical takeaway for the reader to challenge themselves daily. You'll also find:

• Strategies for getting “unstuck” in your personal and professional life
• Techniques for developing a clear understanding of who you are and what you can bring to an organisation as a leader
• Ways to propel your leadership skills forward by focusing on what you can offer others, instead of what others can give you

Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, Front-Line Leadership is also a must-read for active military service members, non-profit professionals, government workers and leaders, athletes, teachers, and anyone else tasked with shaping and encouraging the efforts of others.
