Heirpower

Chief Bob Vasquez has found an innovative and effective way to share some basic principles that every new lieutenant should know on the subject of how to succeed as a leader in our Air Force. He provides the enlisted perspective in a way that only a senior noncommissioned officer can communicate. As a member of the Air Force Academy's Center for Character Development, he mentors future leaders on a daily basis. He shares his advice in a well-written, common-sense how-to-book. “Heirpower!” is not just for new lieutenants, but for anyone in a position of leadership. Any lieutenant who reads this book will be better prepared to lead at every level.

Excellence in anything you endeavor will always be based on the fundamentals. Whether it's in sports, in the Profession of Arms, in developing your personal character, or in leading yourself and others, if you don't know the fundamentals, you'll fail. I can assure you that what you're about to read is the fundamental truth to becoming an Exceptional Leader. My hope is that you'll laugh, cry, and learn as I share some basic leadership ideas with you that will make you an Exceptionally Powerful Lieutenant. Now, go forward! Make this a great day to be an American Warrior.
