Book by Col Ted Studdard

Ted has proven himself as a leadership expert with over 30 years of military and corporate experience. His military resume goes far beyond leading Marines in combat. He taught tactics and leadership at the Marine Corps University, planned and directed combat operations for a 20,000 person multi-national force, engaged in international negotiations, and worked on national strategy in the Pentagon.

After suffering a heart attack, Ted faced new challenges—retiring and charting a new path. Finding The Home Depot, an organization that aligned with his values, helped him transition into the private sector and transform into a corporate leader.

In his second career, Ted’s work in business operations, staffing, and leader development has given him a unique perspective on optimizing human capital in corporate America to increase retention, productivity, and teamwork as well as the importance of mentorship, veteran integration and building relationships to increase R.O.I.
