"Join retired Colonel Chris Richie as he entertains readers with stories and leadership lessons from the deserts of the Middle East, the rain forests of Nicaragua, the low country of South Carolina, and many more. Colonel Richie explores the leadership lessons and crucibles that guided his three decades as a United States Marine.

Be prepared to learn what it takes to be the leader you are called to be.

The Invisible Medal is the realization that the success we enable in others is greater than any personal accolade. Invisible medals will be earned if we focus on people and relationships, view life as a stewardship, and recognize that everyone has potential.

Becoming a servant leader is more than simply fulfilling the needs of others. Successful leaders look inward to identify their foundational purpose and values. They reflect on their life's crucibles and understand the leadership philosophy born from those challenges. When leadership dilemmas emerge, the best leaders can weather the storm because their principles have been built on solid ground.

Questions you will consider throughout The Invisible Medal include, ""What is your purpose? What is your story? What do you value most? What virtues guide your behavior and ethical decisions? How can you shape your unique story into leading others?""

""Focus on the individual; earn your invisible medal."""

"Stimulating! Chris brings spirit and evidence of what and why we do for our students, employees, and communities that we serve. Great read for those who lead or want to lead others. Proves successful leadership styles across all occupations. Focus on the individual, earn your invisible Medal. Jeff Lynn, President, Central Alabama Community College Colonel Chris Richie epitomizes the servant leader. Chris understands and practices a ""Mission First; People Always"" leadership philosophy, where success is achieved not by the ""what"" but by the ""who."" Chris knows our Country's most lethal weapon is the person wearing the cloth of our military, and taking care of those serving ensures success on the battlefield and success in life. Lieutenant General Michael Rocco USMC (Ret) President, Marines' Memorial Association & Foundation Colonel Richie's vast experience in guiding Marines translates to every leader! He embodies the essence of a great American and exemplifies humility and thoughtfulness in leadership, steadfastly adhering to his values. His inspirational storytelling captivates his audience, leaving them asking for more. Our team found immense value in reflecting on our life and leadership crucibles, promoting a deeper examination of our purpose and priorities in leadership. Through introspection into our personal beliefs and their impact on our leadership styles, I discovered my own non-negotiables and found better ways to support my team.
