Doug "Odie" Slocum: Violent Positivity
Description
On episode #232 of The Author Factor Podcast, I am having a conversation with nonfiction book author, Doug "Odie" Slocum. Doug, a retired Brigadier General, spent 35 years in the Air Force and Air National Guard. He commanded the 127th Wing to national acclaim and piloted over 4100 hours in America's fiercest fighters. Recently, Doug published his first book, Violent Positivity, sharing his people-centric leadership journey.
Doug's book, Violent Positivity, is a compelling read filled with inspiring stories and lessons. One significant reason listeners will find the book interesting is Doug's unique approach to leadership, which he calls "violent positivity." This concept emphasizes passionate, enthusiastic leadership and has proven effective in transforming stressed organizations into award-winning teams.
