leadership

Great leadership is the key to everything.  People will endure hardship, change and transform under strong leadership. 

Author and Retired General Larry O. Spencer wrote in the forward:
“I am particularly impressed that the authors chose P.E.R.S.I.S.T.E.N.C.E. as their title and theme.  It was persistence that carried me from an inner-city neighborhood into the Air Force.

It was persistence that allowed me to achieve my college degree and apply for Officer’s Training School. It was persistence that allowed me to excel as an Airman, Officer, and General Officer and it was persistence that propelled me to be the 37th Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force.”

P.E.R.S.I.S.T.E.N.C.E.

When Ericka and Lefford began planning this book, they decided to center the conversations around the word persistence and choose a keyword for each of the letters:
