To become a renowned and respected leader, you must possess a certain level of ambition. Your desire to lead is often guided by your vision and wisdom and your internal drive to take on multiple ambitious projects. This diversity of perspective can serve as your hidden competitive advantage. How you harness this energy will determine the sustainability of your impact.
It’s important to remember that we can define our vision for leadership based on personal convictions. One compelling example is Douglas Greenlaw, a #1 bestselling author on Amazon, a decorated military veteran, former President of MTV Networks, and an accomplished adventurer. His extraordinary life story is detailed in his book, "Forged By Lightning."
Greenlaw served as the National Commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, USA, from 2018 to 2019. This organization is the leading Veteran Service Organization in the country and advocates for all 500,000 combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients in America. He also serves on the Board of Directors of The Purple Heart Foundation and is a Board Member of The Purple Heart Hall of Honor. Inducted into the Military Hall of Fame in 2021, Greenlaw receives the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts for his service as a 1st Lieutenant Infantry Platoon Leader and Infantry Company Commander in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968. He was catastrophically wounded in April 1968.
Greenlaw is passionate about assisting veterans impacted by their military service. He understands the physical and mental toll that battlefield experiences can have on individuals and the challenges of recovery. Whether it's dealing with catastrophic injuries or the mental repercussions faced by many veterans, Greenlaw is committed to providing resources and support to those in need. He has donated hot meals to homeless veterans and provided warm winter hats, gloves, and scarves.
