In Leadership Maxims, Woody Hester shares twelve timeless leadership truths in the context of compelling, real world stories about success and failure that prove these truths to be powerful catalysts for organizational and personal success.
In 1970, at the age of twenty-four, U.S. Army Captain Woody Hester returned from a tour of duty in Vietnam. He was, assigned to a staff position at the U.S. Army Air Defense Board at Fort Bliss Texas. He was grateful. A break from the rigors of field duty and the stress of living in a combat environment were welcome, but it was his first staff job as an Army officer. It would be the first time in his professional life that he would manage the administrative side of project work and lead a diverse group of uniformed staff and Department of the Army Civilians. Projects came with tight schedules and hard deadlines. Millions of dollars were at stake. Failure would cost him, and those who relied on him, greatly.
He was scared. He didn't have time to digest, process, and learn to apply complicated leadership theory. He needed practical wisdom he could apply immediately.
