Summary:

In Sharing Success--Owning Failure, Colonel Goldfein discusses several themes central to a successful command tour. He expresses ideas and puts forth questions to spark your imagination as you begin preparing for the task ahead of you--squadron commander. He shares stories from other squadron commanders that include both success and failure. Because, as Colonel Goldfein states, ₃it is from studying our failures that we learn, grow, and improve as officers and leaders.₄ In the Foreword, Maj Gen Charles D. Link, USAF, Retired, says ₃this book is a must-read, not only for those selected to command a squadron but for all our young officers.₄.
