CA, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Leadership is not just for the privileged or the titled; it is for anyone in a position of influence. Whether you're managing a team, mentoring a peer, or even guiding your family, true leadership is about authenticity, connection, and action. This is the core message of Be A Better Leader: A Situational Guide, a new book by retired U.S. Army officers David H. McDowell and Bill Sprayberry.

In this practical guide, McDowell and Sprayberry provide readers with the tools, principles, and relatable examples they need to lead in any environment—be it a corporate boardroom, a volunteer organization, or even in everyday life. The book breaks down the confusion between leadership, management, and administration, offering clear, actionable definitions and insights that readers can implement immediately.

With Be A Better Leader, McDowell and Sprayberry present a comprehensive roadmap to becoming a lifelong learner, building trust, communicating effectively, and leading by example.
