Lessons from the Navy

June 14, 2021April 21, 2022 Jarrod H Smith 1 Comment Air Force, Army, Leadership, Learnership, Military, Military Author, Military Leadership, Military Transition, Navy

Lessons From the Navy is a well-written, professionally published work highlighting great thought topics and behaviors I highly encourage all aspiring leaders to grasp and implement, but onlyif ready. It is a good, easy read for someone who is ready to consume the content, but there is an especially important realization and understanding to grasp before spending time in this book.
