Your Turn is not a traditional leadership book.It is a concise and deeply reflective exploration of leadership, influence, trust, failure, empowerment, and the responsibility that comes with guiding the lives of others.Drawing from more than twenty-seven years of military service across the United States Navy and Air Force, Lt Col Michael D.
