Leadership In The Real World
Tom Petitmermet
(Author)Description
Leadership in the Real World: 50 Years of Building a Leadership Model. In his third book published under Tactical 16, retired Air Force Col. 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.
Petitmermet's previous works provide readers with meaningful examples of leadership in action during his distinguished military career: Pretzel 06, Memories of a Forward Air Controller: Southeast Asia 1970-1971 and Top Cover for North America: Protecting America from the Soviet Threat.
"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!"

"I know Tom, I've read his books and I've witnessed his leadership skills first hand. Read this book and enjoy moving your leadership skills up more than just a notch or two."
Frank Leuck, Colonel, USAF, Retired
"A virtual "cookbook" for leadership success in the military & civilian worlds.
This book should be on the "mandatory read" list of all services' Command and Staff Colleges."
John Schmidt Colonel USAF (ret)
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.
Joe Dixon, Colonel USAF (ret)
"Tom's book is a must read on LEADERSHIP - his insights and first hand experiences are classic."
Don Grandia, Col, USAF (Ret)
"I was on my third Air Force assignment as a Forward Air Controller (FAC), and Tom was on his second; it was a steep learning curve for both of us, and we know the leadership and decision-making skills demanded by FACs in combat. They had to tightly control the air assets while being bombarded by calls on three different radios. FAC decisions had to be quick and accurate--a wrong decision meant fratricide or escape of the enemy. Tom brought that unique decision making skill to each of his future leadership situations."
Jim Palmer, Colonel USAF Retired
