Leadership In The Real World

Leadership in the Real World: 50 Years of Building a Leadership Model. In his third book published under Tactical 16, retired Air Force Col. Petitmermet lays out solid leadership principles and real-world examples that business professionals should emulate and approaches they should avoid to be successful.




"My leadership philosophy comes from 50 years of actual hands-on leadership situations," said Petitmermet, who bases his tenets on 26 years as an Air Force pilot, 15 years working as a defense industry consultant, and over 25 years as the leader of a non-profit volunteer group.




Petitmermet's previous works provide readers with meaningful examples of leadership in action during his distinguished military career: Pretzel 06, Memories of a Forward Air Controller: Southeast Asia 1970-1971 and Top Cover for North America: Protecting America from the Soviet Threat.




"Tom's latest book drills down to critical areas every successful leader should focus on: competence, mission, people, communication, standards, integrity, loyalty, decision making, delegation, and teamwork," said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. "This book is a game changer!"
