It teaches all veterans and nonmilitary professionals how to use these skills effectively to solve business problems and covers everything from the differences between a military and business environment to planning solutions, meeting goals, and improving people relationships. Very highly recommended for business and military libraries alike. Navy jet pilot and the leader of a company that has thousands of veterans in its ranks, I can uniquely appreciate the context in which Chad Storlie's book is written.
I commend him for making this information available to transitioning military members, since it encapsulates a wide variety of guiding principles that took many of us veterans in corporate careers many years to seek out and comprehend. Whether you served four or twenty years in the military, you'll understand how to leverage the qualities of leadership, teamwork, integrity, loyalty and resourcefulness to your best advantage.

You'll also gain great insights about the differences between the military and civilian sectors, while learning to adapt to situations where the way forward isn't necessarily as clear as it once was in your previous career. Veterans today need all the help and support that they can get which is why Chad Storlie's Combat Leader to Corporate Leader is an important reference for veterans interested in business. It recognizes the skills learned in the military and uses a clear 20 lesson process to help them be applied in business. His book will help someone leaving the military get off to a fast effective start in their new job.
Whether taking a hill or doing a takeover, bonding with allied forces or partnering for a joint venture, the fundamentals are much the same. Chad nails those themes with persuasive clarity. It was not always an easy process to transition to the private sector. That's why I applaud Chad Storlie's effort to lay out a clear roadmap that veterans can follow as they prepare themselves, their teams and their businesses for success.
I recommend Combat Leader to Corporate Leader to every veteran who aspires to the top ranks of corporate America. Storlie fills a significant void in military-to-corporate transition literature. The author displays the unique ability to translate military experience into corporate management strategy using language that is familiar to every military leader.
His numerous tables provide real-world examples of how military leadership scenarios correlate directly to business management situations. If a military member masters Col. Storlie's '20 Lessons,' she or he will find the transition from military leader to corporate executive a much shorter and smoother journey.
Most military leaders shy away from self-aggrandizement and military culture discourages such overt actions. Storlie introduces the reader to 'intelligent self promotion' in the corporate world and stresses its accepted place in the overall corporate leadership structure. My advice to military members entering the commercial corporate society, if you do not read any other chapter, read the chapter on intelligent self promotion. It is the only book of its kind that lays out a very practical way for a veteran to capitalize on the outstanding preparation that a military experience brings to a successful career in the marketplace.
Chad Storlie provides a clear road map for men and women who wish to pursue post-military business careers. Chad Storlie has done an excellent job analyzing the business world and identifying the key actions military veterans must take to be successful.
We need leadership in business and veterans can provide that leadership.

Storlie's book provides the path to make that happen. In the next several years many veterans will be entering the corporate job market. These veterans are both well-trained and disciplined to take responsible positions in major corporations. Chad's 20 lessons demonstrate transference of skill sets by using methodologies that are easy to understand.
The description of how veterans can use their skills in the business world will be valuable to both veterans and businessmen hiring these capable leaders. I highly recommend this book. These combat veterans bring unique skills and experiences to the private sector, but they need a framework to make this transition. This book provides that. Having transitioned into business four years ago, I can attest that Chad's assessment is right on target.
The bottom line is this. Businesses desperately need men and women of character who walk the talk with values, who understand how to articulate a clear mission statement, who know how to hold their teammates accountable, who know how to inspire and take care of their people, and who appreciate the value of delegating authorities and responsibilities. Veterans fit this requirement in spades. I wish I had the opportunity to read this book four years ago—a must read for veterans making the transition into business.

Young veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are not getting jobs and their unemployment rate is as high as twice the national average.
Chad Storlie wants to do something about that. His book, Combat Leader to Corporate Leader is a translation guide for veterans entering the civilian workforce. The author takes the terms veterans are accustomed to, such as the intelligence report, wargaming, assessing the battlefield, and tells them how to convert these to the civilian world. It's a must read for veterans leaving the service and should be included in the bibliography of any service transition program. I think that one of the strengths of the book is that Mr. Storlie identifies integrity and honesty as among the most valuable credentials a veteran can bring to a civilian job.
He points out several of the higher profile corporate fraud cases. I agree with that and I think it's a point most veterans take for granted. My brother is an investigator on corporate fraud and issues an annual report on embezzlement cases. I can tell you there are many more cases than hit the mainstream news. I'm not sure why returning vets aren't getting hired.
It may be stigma over PTSD or an aversion to hiring killers. I'd like to see more research about this. In many ways, Combat Leader to Corporate Leader grapples with the transition from a command and control leadership structure to a structure where leadership is more about creating an environment where workers contribute their cognitive best.
20 Lessons to Advance Your Civilian Career
In this sense, many of Mr. Storlie's lessons are appropriate for every, whether or not they come from a military background. One person found this helpful. Received my copy on Friday, Mr. Storlie's experience, integrity, and pragmatic approach come off the page and resonate with those of us who don't like fluff, but actual useful theory and experience when planning and making decisions. It reads like an Army FM Field Manual for integrating military training, discipline, and experience into a career: After my first read, I can definitely say this is a reference manual that I can see myself picking up again and again at different points in my career.
It reminds us we are valueable, we are strong, we are disciplined, we are different; We have seen and done things very few people have in the corporate world, and because of this we are natural leaders and assets to any organization. We have the choice to become involved in our workplace and daily lives with more of a "splash" and impact than we may realize. Let me show you how. I'm a pretty avid reader, and over the years I've found some gems of use which are are also in this book spread across other books dealing with some pretty disparate topics combat stress, memoirs of soldiers, business development books, self-help books, etc.
In my humble opinion, a must have for any veteran, especially one with combat experience. As a Military Talent recruiter, developer, and a previous candidate myself, I feel that Chad did an amazing job capturing what I have undergone, am undergoing, and have been a part of with hundreds of veteran hires. I'm also proud to say that his book will be part of Amazon's Military Leadership Conference, for our numerous military hires.
The insights from the author is very useful and effective, A Must See! I would recommend the book and amazon service to anyone. I was really looking forward to this book up it really comes up short. I was hoping for something that read like a story and communicated the lessons in a more memorable way. It was ok but I didn't like it. See all 5 reviews.
