"'This is a superb book on leadership written by a thoughtful, courageous, and authentic leader himself. As wise, practical, and inspiring as any I have ever seen."--Gen. Fred M. Franks, U.S. Army (retired)

"I have worked with Rick in helping take care of our soldiers and their families during these difficult times, and the leadership principles listed in this book are an invaluable guide on how to accomplish that goal. Those principles apply not only in the military, but also in corporate America, in academia, and even in the entertainment industry."--Gary Sinise, actor and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation

"One of the most positive, candid, and encouraging books I've read on leadership in recent years. Truly an invaluable resource for those wanting to take their effectiveness as great, adaptive leaders to the next level."--Chaplain (Major General) Doug Carver, USA-Ret 22nd Army Chief of Chaplains

"This book deserves a place on the shelf of contemporary leadership tomes. A personal tour through an exciting life as a soldier, it will provoke an interesting self-analysis in those who have led or want to lead."--Lt. Gen. Walter F. Ulmer Jr., U.S. Army (retired); former president and CEO, Center for Creative Leadership

"Leadership is what we desperately need, yet it's not an innate trait. Fortunately, it can be learned, and we have Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch to teach us. This book is more than the fascinating journey of an accomplished American patriot. It is a guide for all of us on how to lead and how to live."--Dr. J. D. Crouch II, former assistant to the president and deputy national security advisor
