Publisher's summary

The philosophy found in this work is the product of a childhood on a tobacco and cattle farm in central Kentucky, education at various schools, and a three-decade career in the US Navy while simultaneously contributing as a husband, father, and grandfather. The remainder of this book will be separated into phases reflective of the major changes in my life: the farm, schooling, and a navy career continuum from junior officer through flag officer. The lessons learned in earlier phases were often exported and applied later. The ever-increasing levels of responsibility served to teach new lessons.

Practical and Wise

This is a well written book by a brand new author. John Palmer synthesizes his early life on the farm, his military education, and his 32 years of military service into a leadership guidebook for every level of leadership. Rhe Practical Farm lessons come back again and again to provide the bases for success at any level. Very few books address the complete leadership journey in a practical and applicable lesson format. This is a great book for new and mature leaders alike and I highly recommend it.
