Improving the Foxhole: Ward’s Way
Reflections on Leadership, Life, and Service
“In military terms, a foxhole is a small pit dug in the ground that gives soldiers protection from enemy fire. In more generalizable terms, a foxhole is any place that we inhabit (for whatever period of time) and continuously enhance as we work to achieve a mission.”
— William E. “Kip” Ward
In his book, Improving the Foxhole: Ward’s Way, retired General William E. “Kip” Ward uses the context of myriad life experiences to share his insights into leaving our respective foxholes in better standing than they were in when we first got there. These “foxhole lessons” are derived from very specific experiences across four decades of service but are generalizable in ways that any leader or aspiring leader can adapt to their own circumstances.
