He lead the way

Anyone who knows Al Santoli knows he is an American patriotone who puts country ahead of self. One who is in that rat raceof Washington DC and still keeps his integrity without looking for a cushy place of fame or wealth. We cannot find these folks around any more. A must read

Turning the Boat Around

It is unfortunate that this outstanding book is out of print because the lessons contained within the pages are timeless. Al Santoli, a Vietnam veteran, assembles a comprehensive cast to provide anecdotes about their problems and solutions to reforming and reorganizing the post Vietnam era United States Armed Forces. This book is just not for military leaders, officer and enlisted; the lessons of the book apply to all leaders, especially in organizations that are in need of change.
