Book excerpt: About the Book The Velvet Glove of Leadership in the 2020s: Leadership Principles That Don’t Change in a Changing World is a handy reference for many of the key “arts” and “sciences” of leadership. The pace of change may be faster than ever and the challenges of a post pandemic world difficult to navigate, but there are principals that remain relevant to good leadership. Topics like communication and listening may be even more important in a world of Zoom meetings with fewer face to face opportunities to build relationships with senior leaders and subordinates alike. Even those with a long history in leadership will find useful information about the situations emerging leaders encounter on a daily basis. About the Author Dennis E. Smith has held a variety of leadership positions including a regional construction company with 85 employees, a nuclear capable field artillery battalion of 500 soldiers, and as a national director of facilities in a Fortune 500 company for over 100 hospitals nationwide. Smith also worked as an adjunct professor at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas.
