In his third book, Leadership in the Real World, published under Tactical 16, retired Air Force Col. Tom Petitmermet lays out solid leadership principles and real-world examples that business professionals should emulate and approaches they should avoid to be successful.
“My leadership philosophy comes from 50 years of actual hands-on leadership situations,” said Petitmermet, who bases his tenets on 26 years as an Air Force pilot, 15 years working as a defense industry consultant, and over 25 years as the leader of a non-profit volunteer group.
“Tom’s latest book drills down to critical areas every successful leader should focus on: competence, mission, people, communication, standards, integrity, loyalty, decision making, delegation, and teamwork,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “This book is a game changer!”

Not boring theory…but real-world leadership examples, often humorous, for all aspiring “fast burners”.

I know Tom, I’ve read his books and I’ve witnessed his leadership skills firsthand. Read this book and enjoy moving your leadership skills up more than just a notch or two.

I had the good fortune of serving with Tom during two different assignments when I witnessed his superb leadership qualities first-hand. Now, thanks to this terrific book, his insights — gained throughout his career — can be shared with a much wider audience.
