Book Synopsis
In a new era of social change and technological advancement, the characteristics of leadership have changed from the "do as I say and don't ask why" days of the past. The feelings of entitlement and empowerment have spread like wildfire. Values such as mutual respect and respect for authority have arguably changed. There are a few institutions such as the military that still maintain the righteous values of discipline, class, and hierarchy. There are civilian leaders in business, education, and sports that are able to maintain those values and are the most successful in their field. Be Tough ... But Don't be "A Tough Guy" is for today's leaders and those that strive to be. It shares the idea of toughness being the combination of serving those they lead, caring for those they lead, and demonstrating dignity and class. It is a guide for leaders who believe in this combination of "compassion and toughness," and are committed to the values that will lead to their "team's" success.
