Large and In Charge No More--A Journey to Vulnerable Leadership, by Mike Milano, Major General, US Army (Retired)

Interested in becoming the best leader you can be? Consider becoming more vulnerable. That's the message in my book, in which I share life experiences on how vulnerability is no longer a dirty word when it comes to leadership. In a world that celebrates tough leaders who show no weakness, I suggest another model is more desirable. Using my own extensive experience from climbing the Army hierarchy to combat tours of duty in Iraq to a retail distribution center in the U.S., I show how the old model of leadership is becoming less viable in a changing world. After 33 successful years in the US Army and seven with Target Corporation, I am convinced that the answer to great leadership in the future lies in a single concept, the incredible power of vulnerability.
