Leader Within by Craig Martelle

Leader Within by Craig Martelle

A rising tide lifts all boats...

Leadership is inside of you, not outside. It's not a mask you wear.

Being a lighthouse on a stormy night doesn't take heroics. It only takes surviving the storm to shine the light for those who need to see.

Leadership is hard like that. Simple in words. Not so easy in execution.

It never is.

Why are there people you wouldn't follow, not even out of curiosity? You know who they are.

Don't let that leader be you. The more you command, the less you lead.

Be the beacon and show the way.

I've been in leadership positions throughout my life, but too often, I didn't fill the role. Not until I fully embraced the understanding that it wasn't about me. That was when I started to make a difference.

Buddha says it best. The mind is everything. What you think, you become.

Align your ideals with your goals, and you'll see magic happen.

Who am I to write a book on leadership? I was an enlisted Marine with squad and platoon leadership positions, but then I became an officer and introduced to a wider reality. I retired and earned a law degree where I then worked as a leadership coach and business consultant. I worked with people leading thousands of workers in heavy industry. And then I retired from that and started a career as a science fiction author. When Michael Anderle asked me to take over responsibility for his group, 20Booksto50k(R), a self-published author business group, I was in my element. Never dictating to the five thousand members but putting into place a framework that would help the most authors to benefit. Staying true to a singular goal and surrounding myself with good people rounded out the process for a group that is now more than forty-three thousand members and growing. Our conferences are second to none. Those didn't happen by mistake.

Because of us, all of us. Going to a better place together. Could anyone do it? It may not be your choice to take the helm, but when you are called upon, will you rise to the occasion?

Craig Martelle is a well-known author who released ten books in 2016. To write about fascinating individuals within an authentic tale, he drew on his more than twenty years of experience in the Marine Marines, his legal degree, and his business consulting profession. Although Martelle has written in a variety of genres, he finds in-depth characters coping with real-world challenges to be the most intriguing. A superb story's life lessons can be utilized now or fifty years from now. There are some things that are universal.

He wound up in Fairbanks, Alaska, after a weird series of circumstances. He, on the other hand, enjoys his time there. It's off the beaten road, with breathtaking natural scenery. From their driveway, he and his wife enjoy the northern lights.

Temperatures can drop to 40 degrees below zero. In the winter, there are three and a half hours of daylight; in the summer, there are twenty-four hours. It's all a part of life's give and take. Everyone would live there if they didn't have those extremes.

Craig would love it if you checked out any of his other stories if you enjoyed the End Times Alaska series. For grit, try the Terry Henry Walton Chronicles; for a Young Adult, old-school-master style, try the Free Trader Series. Thank you very much for purchasing and reading his works; this is what brings an author the most joy.
