Make Every Step Count in YourLeadership Journey

Publishers Weekly calls Leading With Honor “moving” and “inspiring.”

Foreword Reviews says it is “provocative...an exceptionally well-constructed and well-written book.”

Business Book Summaries described it as “a gripping personal narrative” whose lessons will help leaders at all levels.

In Leading with Honor, Lee draws from the POW experience, including some of his own personal story, to illustrate the crucial impact of leadership on the success of any organization. He highlights lessons and principles that can be applied to every leadership situation.

- Senator John McCain (Foreword excerpt – Leading with Honor)

“ ”How did American military leaders in the brutal POW camps of North Vietnam inspire their followers for six, seven, and even eight years to remain committed to the mission, resist a cruel enemy, and return home with honor? What leadership principles engendered such extreme devotion, perseverance, and teamwork?

In this award-winning powerful and practical book, Lee Ellis, a former Air Force pilot, candidly talks about his five and a half years of captivity and the 14 key leadership principles behind this amazing story.
