Using poker as analogy for leadership, Captain Andrew Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write a definitive book for leaders. Working together, Harvey and Foster have written Leadership: Texas Hold em Style. Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."
It was truly a joy for me to interview Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.). He really gave us all some real talk about what it needs to become successful. Personally, I particularly liked what he said about how to approach social networking sites and how you have to actually ask for the sale.
A lot of people forget what Mary Kay Ash said: "Nothing happens until you sell something."

This is a 'must listen to' interview.
I am working hard to bring you real talent from across our great nation and our wonderful neighbor to the north (Canada).
Peace & blessings,
