About
the Book
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're dealt
a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your
success."
