*More than a book: A fun and entertaining journey through leadership that

results in accessible and practical tools leaders can put to use immediately.
* High Road Approach: Personal character and ethical beliefs are woven into
each leadership approach, so leaders do the right thing for the right
reasons.

leadership concepts.


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 are dealt a
certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success.
