Sooner State of Mind: Forging Leadership Legacies North of the Red River

Leadership is not for the timid. Leaders face treacherous trails, blinding sand storms, and teams of trusty cowhands who need guidance and counsel along the way. But there is no need for a Lone Ranger to rescue us from the leadership rattlesnakes that threaten to bite us at every turn. There are specific Transformational Leader skills that can be observed, learned, and fine-tuned that can allow us to grow as leaders and develop the cowhands on our teams. This book is filled with stories of heart, perseverance, courage, and hard work, all bedrock values of middle-America and the foundation for exceptional leaders. Don’t be caught without your saddlebag, these Oklahoma leadership stories will demonstrate how to refine old skills and lasso up new ones. As all great stories do, you’ll be impressed and inspired as you learn how a few great leaders were able to rustle up premier architectural venues from conception to completion.
