Inspired, Not Retired: Leadership Lessons from Father to Son - Paperback

by Burl Jr. Randolph (Author)

He spent over 30 years proudly serving our country. But his greatest lessons came from the special bond with his father.

For Colonel Burl Randolph, Jr., leadership began at home as a young boy in the toughest streets of Kansas City, MO. Although the elder Randolph was a man of few words but had great vision, the younger Randolph was molded by his father's actions. And when the decorated, combat-hardened Army officer faced his own retirement, he recalled the heartfelt message his dad told him many years before:

"A man ought to always stay busy."

Far more than a tribute to his father, Randolph offers a powerful story of the complex relationships between parents and children, and fathers and sons. An accomplished leadership and management expert, Dr. Randolph explores transitioning into retirement, how to reestablish oneself, and using mentorship and relationships to develop one's leadership style.

Inspired, Not Retired is an extraordinary homage to a father-son relationship like no other.

If you enjoy true-life stories of deeply felt love, honor, courage, and resilience, and learning how mentorship can aid in pivotal transitions, then you'll be moved by Dr./Colonel Burl Randolph, Jr.'s astonishing biography.
