Leaders Always Go a Little Further: ...Unless They Trip

By Jason Criss Howk

In the subsequent twelve chapters, in keeping with his title, Jason borrows both the triumph and disasters from his own life's journey and from what he has observed in others. Jason it would seem missed little, and captures the not-at-all obvious human nuances, missed by so many books on leadership. Jason distils them into what he saw and what he recalled; simple stories forged in reality, many set in the most challenging of context. The result is a book fit for a desert island, a journeyman's companion, a modern Marcus Aurelius' Meditation and an easy-read. Much like Wordsworth's 'Happy Warrior', each chapter 'stands on honourable terms, ' 'keeps faithful with a singleness of aim' and 'whose high endeavours are an inward light' on this Happy Warrior and his story.It is a book to be thumb marked, scribbled on, read and re-read, carried afar, reflected over and immersed into one's own reality, passed to friends, but clearly marked with return to sender postie. It is a book written for those rare moments of uninterrupted time, a comfortable chair, the glow of a roaring fire, and in the company of a fine Scottish whiskey. Hopefully this book demonstrates that a leader can never stop learning; but also, that leaders can never know enough about all topics-so they must trust and empower their teammates. The text is aimed at leaders of big and small teams, both inside the government and in private sector. There are lots of military themes of course, due to my background as a Soldier. It contains a compilation of over a decade of leadership articles I wrote and is organized by what I view as necessary leadership traits and skills. This book is also about realizing that every human is flawed, and that you will make mistakes, but you can study others to improve and to learn what to avoid. I wish I had been a better leader at many times in my career and you probably do too.
