Finding Your Granite: My Four Cornerstones of Personal Leadership

Description

In “Finding your Granite” Executive Leadership Coach Douglas Pflug walks you through some of the life experiences, lessons and key take-ways from his 28 years as a police officer and leader. Douglas accomplishes this through four very dynamic, energetic and heartfelt sections entitled: “The Struggle” “Dash Leadership” “Four Cornerstones of Personal Leadership” “Rise Up and Excel” Douglas’s mentoring and protégé process and implementation of #RiseUpAndExcel methodology assists people in discovering who they were, who they are and who they will do be. Assessing the risk of what went well/bad helps up to plan for the future. This book will serve to help people navigate through their lives in a post COVID World where we must reflect on “who we were, who we are and who we hope to be” moving forward. This book would be designed primarily for front line 911 emergency workers. The second focus would be for business leaders who like to read military leadership books like Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink. Business is now trying to seek out more intense leadership because it deals with life and death, not profit margins.
