    Advance Praise

    "Powers’ book is the closest thing out there to a junior military leader manual – one that arms the reader with step-by-step practices and techniques to lead with empathy, integrity, and ingenuity. He humbly, adeptly and painstakingly provides the background, data, and tools young leaders need to succeed in the 21st Century, and it is a handy reference guide for front- line military managers of all ranks to revisit any time they are preparing to lead service members."

    about ME

    I’m a husband, father, and Marine officer. For 14 years I have led Marines, mentored NROTC midshipmen, and taught leadership at Brown and Cornell.

    In 2024 and 2025 I poured those lessons into a guide for new and aspiring Marine officers.

    That book will be on shelves in fall 2026. My newsletter will take you behind-the-scenes of the writing process and the lead-up to publication. I'll tell you how I wrote it, introduce the people who helped me along the way, and give an early look at what I included in the book—and the lessons I'm learning too late to add.
