Military author selected for prestigious academic fellowship
June 1, 2007 (San Dimas, CA)
Military-Writers.com is a website dedicated to researching and listing current,
former and active United States Military personnel who have authored books.
Wally Adamchik, the author of No
YELLING: The Nine Secrets of Marine Corps Leadership you MUST know to WIN in
business, has been selected as a Non-Resident Fellow for
Marine Corps University for the 2007-2008
academic year.
The Non-Resident Fellows is a distinguished group of
leadership experts and practitioners from
active duty as well as the civilian sector; but the common thread with all
Fellows is the desire to increase the study and application of
leadership in the
Marine Corps. Fellows will work with the
Lejeune
Leadership Institute by providing non-resident
perspective and expertise. This may include: contributing to
leadership curricula at various schools;
writing papers for publication; assisting with the development of case studies
or tools for use in the operating forces; and, assisting in local Lejeune
Leadership Institute support visits to USMC
bases and stations.
The mission of Lejeune
Leadership Institute is to advance the study
and practice of leadership excellence throughout the
Marine Corps, focusing on leader development
founded on core values. Institute Director, Dr. Joseph Thomas points out, there
are many, many needs. The Fellows perspective from outside of
Marine Corps University is most welcome and we
look forward to their input.
When asked how he felt about this selection Adamchik
commented, It is kind of amazing that I can continue to make a contribution to
the Marines in a very significant way a decade after I served. In fact, it is
what I learned since the Marines that gives me a perspective they want to hear.
We will learn from each other and make our Corps better. It is a bonus that my
clients will benefit from this also.
Major
Wally Adamchik, a former tank commander and
helicopter pilot with the
United States Marine Corps, is the founder and
president of FireStarter Speaking and Consulting, a national leadership
development and consulting firm. His book, No Yelling: The 9 Secrets of
Marine Corps Leadership You Must Know to Win in Business, draws upon the
real-life experiences of those currently serving in the Marines and those now in
the civilian sector to explain how anyone can incorporate the nine essential
behaviors of
Marine Corps
leadership into their daily business life.
The book includes more than 100 interviews with current and
former Marines, and offers side-by-side comparisons of their application in
military and civilian settings. The
leadership techniques displayed by the
United States Marine Corps have proven
themselves time and again in battle, says Adamchik. These same principles can
be applied from the break room to the board room to help anyone excel in
business.
