Using Poker as an analogy for leadership, Captain Andrew J. Harvey and Lieutenant Raymond E. Foster found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write the definitive book for leaders.  Working together, Harvey and Foster have written Leadership: Texas Hold 'em Style.  Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources, people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission.  As Foster noted, "You are dealt a certain hand.  How you play that hand determines your sucess."
