About this audiobook
Every leader eventually reaches the edge of the blueprint, where no proven plan, precedent, or data exists. Drawing on three decades of building emergency medical systems, an interstate compact, and national programs from scratch, Donnie Woodyard Jr. introduces the Blueprint Hierarchy (Operate, Adapt, Author) and shows how to lead where no one has gone before.
