“U.S. Veterans in the Workforce by Mike Schindler is an important piece, with a unique relevance as it relates to the integration of the marketplace and principles learned through military service. In today’s workforce, we’re finding more and more companies focused on a “narrow” career path – an inch wide – in a “silo’d” approach. Yet, through military service, we’re developing leaders holistically, which means they become more and more valuable in the marketplace as future leaders who can see the big picture.”
