REVIEWS: I have attended Travis's Leadership Class and it was one of the best leadership classes I have taken. He has now taken that knowledge and written this book, which allows for a much more in depth look at Courageous Leadership. His experience as a leader have been hard won. He has reaped the rewards and suffered the consequences of being a Courageous Leader. This book lays the groundwork that officers must follow in order to take back the reputation of our profession from those who lie, misrepresent and seek to eliminate the police and those who lack the courage to stand against them. Have the courage to read the book. Have the courage to take a stand. Have the courage to be a Courageous Leader. -Duane Wolfe
Courageous Police Leader should be required reading for EVERYONE that is climbing the ladder into police management/supervision. Travis Yates deals with facts that effect all police officers at any rank. After spending time with Stacy Ettel, and hearing a small portion of "the cowardly acts" he encountered for standing up for one of his troops, I was deeply saddened. We all need leaders. We all need someone who we can respect, trust and learn from. Being a leader is first and foremost a servant to the ones you lead. When cowards lead, chaos and despair will surely follow. Thank you Travis and Stacy for your willingness to say and print the truth. Big Balls!! -Tom Martin
As a literary analyst, Mr. Chaix is the first to reveal the word/number riddles in James Hogg's "The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner"--that have been overlooked by literary critics and scholars for nearly 200 years. He created a digital reproduction of the 1824 original--the only edition that reproduces every word, on every line, on every page as in the 1824 edition, with all of the literary tricks intact.
