A Veterans Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton

As we approach Veterans Day, we are grateful for the service of those U.S.soldiers and servicemen who have protected freedom in the U.S. and around the world.

Consider taking a few minutes to add perspective to your life by watching this message on leadership in extreme environments from Lee Ellis, a former POW and resident of the infamous “Hanoi Hilton.”

Colonel Ellis periodically posts articles on leadership at the CRE Blog. He is the author of two books: Leading With Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton shares his POW experience and the 14 leadership principles that helped him and his compatriots survive. Lee’s previous book, Leading Talents, Leading Teams: Aligning People, Passions and Positions for Maximum Performance centers around building teams with the right mix of people.
