Excerpts from the Book Old School is Good School
During his nearly 30 years in the U.S. Air Force, Chief Master Sergeant Kevin
Slater wrote up numerous leadership lessons and anecdotes and circulated them to
his peers and subordinates. Old School is Good School:
'Back to Basics' Leadership Lessons
organizes his anecdotes around the Air Force's core values: Integrity First,
Service-Before-Self, and Excellence In All We Do. Some of the best parts include
his passionate description of effective followership, and a story about the
importance of high standards ("Remedial Training"). The stories are pithy,
memorable and often inspiring.
Chief Master Sergeant Slater has kindly agreed to allow GovLeaders.org publish a few excerpts from his book:
