De: Dr. Burl Randolph Jr DM Colonel US Army Retired

Narrado por: Jerome Ware

He spent over three decades proudly serving his country. But his greatest lessons came from one unique bond. For Dr. Burl Randolph, Jr., leadership began at home as a young boy. Though his father was a man of few words, he was molded by his parents' actions for a future filled with achievement. And when the decorated military officer faced his own retirement, he recalled the profound message his dad imparted many years before: "A man ought to always stay busy." Far more than a tribute to an instrumental figure in his life, Dr. Randolph offers a powerful narrative illustrating the mentoring influence a strong parent can have on a child's development.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The audio version lends emphasis and quiet power to Dr. Randolph's story, making Inspired, Not Retired a top recommendation. Motivational listeners who look for listening that enlightens, pushes, and admits readers into the wellsprings of the author's own life influences will find Inspired, Not Retired a compelling lesson in contrasts between leadership assets and becoming a role model in a child's life. While it might initially be chosen by those looking to retire, Inspired, Not Retired is not so much about how to relax, as how to become an effective leader and mentor in life.” (D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review)

Inspiring Military and Life Narrative

The intertwining of family and military history was indeed inspiring to me as a veteran. I shared this book with my adult children to “inspire” them to be proud of their support of our nation’s military as “family”. - “ One Team, One Fight”!

Inspirational Tribute

This book is an incredible tribute from father to son. Burl has accomplished so much throughout his life and taken the time to outline how his leadership skills developed in particular from the relationship with his father. My favorite quote is “Leaders do what is required to accomplish the mission… Even if it is not part of their normal duties.” The book is a good read and overall helpful reflection into my own qualities. I have the utmost respect and appreciation of Dr. Burl Randolph Jr and am grateful to him for his service to our country.
