By: Lee Ellis

Narrated by: Lee Ellis

Make every step count in your leadership journey.

How did American military leaders in the brutal POW camps of North Vietnam inspire their followers for six, seven, and even eight years to remain committed to the mission, resist a cruel enemy, and return home with honor? What leadership principles engendered such extreme devotion, perseverance, and teamwork? In this powerful and practical book, Lee Ellis, a former Air Force pilot, candidly talks about his five and a half years of captivity and the 14 key leadership principles behind this amazing story. As a successful executive coach and corporate consultant, he helps leaders of Fortune 500 companies, healthcare executives, small business owners, and entrepreneurs utilize these same pressure-tested principles to increase their personal and organizational success.

In Leading with Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton, you will learn:

• Courageous lessons from POW leaders facing torture in the crucible of captivity
• How successful teams are applying these same lessons and principles
• How to implement these lessons using the Coaching sessions provided in each chapter

This book is ideal for individual or group study as a personal development, coaching, human resource development, or executive training.

Leadership coaching with a story

I recommend this book for any leader. The ability to put a story and a lesson together was amazing.

Amazing story

This story is an example of what pure mental strength looks like. It’s also an example of what a God fearing nation’s soldiers can accomplish. We are so incredibly fortunate to live in this free nation with the best people on earth. This is so many times taken for granted, however this book will help show what many have sacrificed so we may live, in this wonderful place.

Worth a second and third read

I’m going to listen to this book again and this time take notes. So much wisdom to gain from Ellis’ unfortunate experience. He is a true saint!
