Systems Leadership

The prison system in the US is in crisis. We have far too many prisoners and spend far too much on housing them and building more prisons. We have far too harsh penalties for less serious nonviolent crimes, so we are unnecessarily incarcerating people who could be productive citizens, and destroying families in the process. In The Costly U.S. Prison System, author Paul Brakke provides a careful, close-up look from a conservative perspective of what’s wrong with the prison system and how to fix it.

Are you a business leader frustrated by the fact that too much of your time is devoted to management tasks rather than actual leadership? Perhaps you are finding it difficult to establish which is more important to the success of your business, because your days are too hectic to consider strategic and visionary duties. Moreover, do you sense anxiety creeping in, as the organization begins to lose direction? With so much to do, and when there may be a strong temptation to play it safe and not put your neck on the line, how can you steer the corporate ship in the way required? Chris Collier's 23 years of experience as a Senior Officer in the US Army Special Operations and a leader in corporate retail, forced him to ask these very same questions that face leaders today. The answers he found have become a Four-Step System, forged in the field through his current role as Senior Expert Advisor to NATO and US Military Leadership.
