Inspired, Not Retired: Leadership Lessons from Father to Son - Paperback

by Burl Randolph Jr. (Author)

He spent over 30 years proudly serving our country. But his greatest lessons came from one unique bond.

For Dr./Colonel Burl Randolph, Jr., leadership began at home as a young boy. Though the elder Randolph was a man of few words, the younger Randolph was molded by his parent's actions for a future filled with achievement. And when the decorated Army officer faced his own retirement, he recalled the profound message his dad imparted many years before: "A man ought to always stay busy."

Far more than a tribute to an instrumental figure in his life, Dr. Randolph, Jr. offers a powerful narrative illustrating the mentoring influence a strong parent can have on a child's development. Becoming a well-credentialed leadership and management expert, Dr. Randolph defended our country for nearly 32 years in the US Army, retiring as a colonel after three combat tours in Iraq.

• How parents can provide life-saving advice
• The value of being inspired to lead others
• The impact of an influential mentor on generating respect, patience, and loyalty
• Why knowing yourself is your greatest asset
• How pursuing your passion will go far beyond a career in leaving a legacy, and much, much more!

Inspired, Not Retired is an extraordinary homage to a bond like no other. You'll be moved by Dr./Colonel Randolph's astonishing biography if you like true-life stories of deeply felt love and honor, courage and resilience, and learning how mentorship can help with pivotal transitions.
