Endorsements for
Large and In Charge No More: A Journey to Vulnerable Leadership
“Few high-ranking combat veterans or corporate leaders celebrate their personal vulnerability. Yet former Army tanker-turned-Target executive, Mike Milano, does just that. His fascinating and instructive journey makes readers think about the leader they are, and more importantly, the leader they could be. Courageously candid and consistently entertaining.”

5-Star Review
“Leaders who exhibit strength alone can evoke confidence in their followers. But leaders who exhibit both strength and vulnerability can evoke much more. This powerful combination can elicit not only confidence, but imitation, affection, adulation and even love in others. General Mike Milano makes a very persuasive case that leaders hoping to expand a greater human connection with their followers can do so by putting their innate vulnerability on display along with their strength.”

5-Star Review
“Retired General Mike Milano does a remarkable job of highlighting the importance of leaders demonstrating vulnerability to build trust-based relationships with colleagues, subordinates, and superiors. This is probably one of the most important and least discussed characteristics of great leaders.”

“Mike Milano's book on vulnerability is a must add to all leaders' professional libraries. In his book Mike talks, with great detail and poignant stories, on how to be a more effective leader by practicing, at the appropriate time, vulnerability. Reading this book, and putting into practice his thoughts and ideas, have made me a better leader. It will for you as well.”
