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 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. Throughout the book Chief Master Sergeant Slater is either describing great leaders he has worked for, or he is modeling great leadership himself. This is a great read for anyone with a passion for public service.    Read More...
