ABOUT THE BOOK
Using poker as analogy for leadership, Captain Andrew Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write a definitive book for leaders. Working together, Harvey and Foster have written Leadership: Texas Hold em Style. Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."
More than a book: A fun and entertaining journey through leadership that includes an interactive website to supplement knowledge gained from the book.
Proven and Tested: Not an academic approach to leadership, but rather a road-tested guide that has been developed through 50-years of author experience.
High Impact: Through the use of perspective, reflection, and knowledge, provides information that turns leadership potential into leadership practice.
Ease of Application: Theory is reinforced with real-life experience, which results in accessible and practical tools leaders can put to use immediately.
High Road Approach: Personal character and ethical beliefs are woven into each leadership approach, so leaders do the right thing for the right reasons.
Uses Game of Poker: Rather than a dry approach that is all fact and no flavor, the game of poker is used as a lens through which to view leadership concepts.

Developing Subordinate Leaders
Gunnery Sergeant Darnell E. Patton, USMC
There are many great leaders who lead things from small businesses to large countries. Each of those leaders had to start somewhere. Leadership starts at different stages for different people; some start learning as a small child while others may not start until adulthood. But regardless of when they start, its how they get there and where they finish that matters.

If women ruled the world
I wonder, if women ruled the world ( every country ruled by women) would there be war? Would the economy be better? Would education be better? Would it be any different all all or more of the same? Would it be worse?
I know I hate war and violence but in a mans world it seems to have become necessary. Would women be more likely to talk, work it out over a latte? Women like to talk more than men. would we be better negotiators?
Are most women better economizers since they are usually in charge of the families budget?
What are your thoughts? Would women make better world leaders?

What are your thoughts? Would women make better world leaders?
Can I change the world?
Have you ever said 'What can I do alone? How can I change things by myself?"
Can one person change the world? Sure they can! It's been proven many times throughout history. Look at Hitler, Stalin, Alexander the great, Jesus , Joan of Arc. What makes a man or a women great? What made people follow them? They are all different. Some positive, some negative but all inspired people to lay down their lives.
People probably followed Jesus because went against the status quo (yes folks, Jesus was a rebel kind of like Martin Luther) and preached a message of love and compassion..him I understand. And Joan of Arc claimed her mission was from God so that I get too..kind of. But Alexander inspired people to fight in bloody wars for conquest, and Hitler motivated people to do horrible things to millions of people!Why?
I've read some of Hitlers writings...I was not inspired. But then again I'm not prejudiced. Does it take a certain "mindset" to follow certain people?
Lets look at Jesus. Who followed Jesus and why? Well, they were mostly, but not totally the poor , widowed and the outcast. The religious leaders and priests did not welcome his arrival and it appears when it came down to it most everyone abandoned him except his mother and Mary Magdalene.But martyrdom caused his population to rise once again and the message went on and was spread amongst the populace but still rejected amongst the religious leaders.
Hitler, on the other end of the spectrum, appealed to people through their hate, prejudice and bigotry. He fanned the flames their hatred and was able to make them think they were doing the right thing by torturing and annihilating the Jews and others!
I wish I could say that people of love and faith can not be inspired to do wicked things but look at the Christian holy wars, the Salem witch trials, Jim Jones , Fred Phelps and the Branch Dividian.
I can't help but think people are just looking for a band wagon to jump on regardless where it's going!
Apparently we love to fight, we love conflict and drama. Just look which posts make it to the top blog and get tons of reply's....the ones with the most conflict!
Are we twisted, evil or what? Send me some feed back thinkers!
