Lee Ellis | Billboard Message for the World to see

In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the privilege of engaging in an inspiring conversation with retired United States Air Force Colonel Lee Ellis, an American hero who served during the Vietnam War and emerged as an influential leader. His experiences, both as a prisoner of war (POW) and in his post-military life, have given him a unique perspective on leadership, one that emphasizes character, courage, and commitment.

Colonel Ellis's leadership journey began in the crucible of the Vietnam War, where he spent years as a POW. Despite the unimaginable hardships he faced, he emerged from his ordeal stronger and more resilient, with profound insights into the essence of effective leadership. He encapsulated these insights in his award-winning book, "Leading with Honor", which serves as a powerful guide for present and future leaders.

A central theme of Colonel Ellis's leadership philosophy is the importance of relationships. His experiences in the Vietnam War taught him the significance of human connection in leadership. He emphasizes that character, mission, and people are the cornerstones of effective leadership. The character of a leader lays the foundation for trust, while a clear mission provides direction. However, without strong relationships, both of these can fall flat.
