Front-Line Leadership: How to Eliminate Complacency and Build All-In Engagement

Summary

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 will explore 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 behaviors that we demonstrate. Additionally, each chapter culminates with a practical takeaway for the listener 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 organization as a leader; and ways to propel your leadership skills forward by focusing on what you can offer others, instead of what others can give you.
