The Conflicted Leader & Vantage Leadership
by General Al Gray and Dr. Paul Otte
A portion of the book and DVD proceeds go to:
- Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund
- Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation
"In 1989, the U.S. Marine Corps promulgated a small book entitled Warfighting for all Marines. The intent was to describe General Al Gray's philosophy on warfighting and to encourage leaders at all levels to use the Maneuver Warfare concepts and values as a way of thinking to meet the challenges of both combat and life. Now General Gray and Dr. Paul Otte have taken these principles and applied them to the everyday challenges of leadership in a complex and uncertain world. Understanding and using the concepts discussed in this book will serve well all who aspire to lead and succeed at any level."
- Brent Scowcroft
Air Force Lt. General (Retired) and former National Security Advisor to
President Gerald Ford and President George H. W. Bush
In this breakthrough book, General Al Gray and Dr. Paul Otte provide a new model for achieving a higher level of leadership.
This book validates the struggles of the Conflicted Leader — one who must lead individuals and organizations as our world moves through ever-evolving waves of change. But the authors do more than address what many leaders today are experiencing. They propose a new way of making a difference through Vantage Leadership, defined as the ability to embrace uncertainty, see the possible over the probable, remain conceptual through conflict, and more.
"General Al Gray's leadership profoundly changed the US Marine Corps, US policy, and the way the US Military fights today in hundreds of ways. His unique form of leadership inspires all who come in contact with him. General Gray and Dr. Paul Otte have successfully outlined these principles of leadership in a fashion that will continue to inspire and guide people for generations to come."
