At Ease: Enjoying the Freedom You Fought For -- A Soldier's Story and Perspectives on the Journey to an Encore Life and Career
For all who have the honor to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, there will come a day when it's time to separate -- to "retire" and to transition to a civilian world you may know little about (despite having spent decades fighting to protect its freedoms and liberties). When it's time for you to hang up the uniform and walk away proudly, DD-214 in hand, you may find yourself unprepared and overwhelmed. If you're like most senior service members, you'll find that the transition to your encore life and career is a transition you have given insufficient thought to. You've been busy leading and giving selflessly to your unit and your mission; it was your only focus and your sole concern. So now what?
Join Colonel Rob Campbell, United States Army, Retired, on a journey to post-military life -- the ups and downs, the sleepless nights and complex decision-making, and the arduous weighing of the "what ifs" and choices before you. At Ease: Enjoying the Freedom You Fought For is a service member's guide to an authentic retirement transition. This remarkable book is part memoir, part "how to" guide to help senior service members explore the nuances of the military/civilian transition.
It’s Personal, Not Personnel: Leadership Lessons for the Battlefield and the Boardroom
There has never been a more important time —in corporate America and in the American military— for leaders, at all levels, to understand how to invest in people. This book teaches you to do just that.
It’s Personal, Not Personnel: Leadership Lessons for the Battlefield and the Boardroom offers true stories and practical frameworks you can apply to the people in your organization and on your team. Whether from lack of will, experience, or training, many leaders pay lip service to investing in people.
Instead, they manage them on spreadsheets and in HR-focused software applications without personal consideration, failing to truly know them, care for them or establish healthy, fulfilling environments in which they can work and serve. Leaders focus on task completion, blind to the true effect it has on a person and his or her family. Those appointed to guide and delegate —in business and in the armed forces— often miss the opportunity to create a people-centric environment where productivity and efficiency will improve. It’s less about making mechanics, IT managers or soldiers better at their trade, and it’s more about making people better people.
