If you are serious about being a successful military leader and want to keep your sanity, as well as your personal standards, this is the book for you. Just because you didn't come from a military family or don't have a good mentor yet, doesn't mean that you can't have the same advantages of the insider secrets. The insight, advice, and memorable stories in Move Out will make you a winner.
Lack of proficiency in the move out skills is the major reason that talented officers and non-commissioned officers fall behind. Military leaders must take charge of their own careers, if they expect to succeed and to advance. Rather than being a pawn in the assignment game, you have to plan your career as carefully as a combat operation, and then have the courage and persistence to move out in pursuit of your objectives.

Move Out gives you the insider skills they don't teach in military schools.

Successful military leaders know that it takes more than simply doing your job well to get ahead. With Move Out you will learn how to

  • Plan your career

  • Identify and get the jobs you need to advance (regardless of your assignment officer's plans for you)

  • Network beyond your current unit or organization

  • Survive bad bosses (screamers, weasels, know-it-alls, cowards, and more)

  • Deal successfully with problem subordinates

  • Handle ugly incidents

  • Impress your boss (without being a suck-up)

  • Build your skills to make yourself and your team more valuable

  • Develop your junior leaders and your team (even if you think you have been dealt a hand of mostly losers)

  • Understand the hidden codes of performance evaluations and how to overcome a negative evaluation

  • Learn how centralized selection boards really work and how to insure that your personnel record reflects your best image
