There have been many novels about the Barbary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars or the War of 1812 and most have been from the British or Canadian point of view. A novel of life in these momentous times from a particular American perspective will be available in print and e-book versions this fall. Tempest Driven is about a Scottish boy who grows up in Maryland and fights for his country in all three of these conflicts. He risks life and limb in many roles, at sea and on land, while learning lessons about family, love, faith and forgiveness.
Working for a Fortune 500 company, I was excited to see that many of the points that Randy spoke about were in harmony with my learning for my work life. His message is about simple, but often missed truths: how we treat each other, what team is all about, and priorities.
Leadership, for Randy, is a shared experience. He did a great job providing thought provoking scenarios, responses and challenges. His professional experience comes through.
Randy has captured the elements of good leadership in a strong program. Our club is looking to grow our membership and level of participation. We found his message on target to help us with both of these goals.
