Using poker as analogy for leadership, Captain
Andrew Harvey, CPD (ret.), Ed.D. and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.),
MPA found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to
write a definitive book for leaders. Working together, Harvey and Foster have
written Leadership: Texas Hold em Style.
Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment,
funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand.
How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."
