Flying Spirit: A Leader's Guide to Creating Great Organizations

by Hal Shook, Allen Overmyer

FLYING SPIRIT is a practical, no-nonsense guide to building a highly spirited organization that recognizes people as the prime value. It will help you create teams with extraordinary understanding, trust, and shared mission. FLYING SPIRIT is all about values -- vision -- mission -- teamwork and the human element. These are the issues that spell the difference between success, mediocrity, and failure. FLYING SPIRIT had its genesis when the author commanded a fighter squadron in England, France, and Belgium at the time of the Normandy invasion. Its methods have been successfully applied to large and small private and public sector organizations. One startup client grew from $600,000 annual revenues and eight people to $60 million and 130 people in just eight years!
