Leadership Junkie: Fables and Parables from One Who Just Can't Quit

By Dennis Hunsinger

Have you ever wondered, within the world of leaders and followers, what the "one thing" is that binds us all together and keeps us moving forward? Dennis Hunsinger draws on his 42 years of government service, both in the military and civil service, to explore the issues of honor, commitment, integrity, responsibility, loyalty, and others, in arriving at that "one thing"; what he calls the sacred trust of leadership.

Leadership Junkie invites you into the life of someone who has just about seen it all. Over a career of fascinating stories and experiences, he combines the events in his professional life with hard lessons learned; both successes and failures that he's observed or, in many cases, experienced. Deeply personal and autobiographical, Leadership Junkie delves into issues of what it takes to inspire people to follow their leader, as well as some of the more insidious sides of employee and leadership behavior. He'll give pointers on how to create "stake in the outcome" for employees, as well as introduce you to a discussion about Organizational Guerilla Warfare; yes, what employees will try to do to you, what they will do to each other, and what you have to do to them. Moreover, you'll come away with tips on how and why leaders, above everything else, need to take care of the people that work for them.

If you're contemplating a journey in leadership, or have already started one, Leadership Junkie is for you.
