About the Author

Jeff Espenship graduated from the University of Georgia in 1986. He trained as a USAF fighter pilot and won the coveted "Commanders Trophy" as the overall top graduate of his pilot training class. Jeff also won the pilot training T-38 Talon's "Hard Charger Award" for overall dedication to excellence and training. Jeff flew the venerable A-10 Thunderbolt, also known as the "Warthog". He was stationed with the 18th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, Alaska. While there, he qualified as one of the youngest 4-ship flight leaders in the entire squadron. He served as an instructor and was also Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) qualified as well as a Joint Air Attacks (JAAT) team member. While flying, Odie won numerous Top Gun awards for air-to-ground bombing and gunnery. Due to Jeff's outgoing, personable, always smiling personality, his squadron mates gave him his call sign "Odie," aptly named after the popular cartoon Garfield's sidekick. Now, few people know Jeff by his first name.. but simply call him "ODIE." He currently flies as an international airline pilot. Amid his tenure as an airline pilot, Odie also flew a 1943 T-6 "Texan" on the airshow circuit. A tragic accident took the life of his brother. This significant life event ignited the spark that helped Odie create what Target Leadership is today.

Editorial Reviews

I sincerely believe the book is one that should be read (and studied) by everyone who is put in any position of authority over others. And it should be read twice by anyone who would like to be put into such a position.You have stated in terms that should be clear to all stakeholders, not just what a business ethic and etiquette should be, but how to implement and sustain a clear and safe environment within that business. I wished I had read it 40 years ago.

This is fascinating if you're interested in leadership culture and how it impacts the operating safety environment. From the Author's tragic personal experience with casually disregarding (what can seem to be) tedious safety procedure to break downs and analysis of some of the world's deadliest (and avoidable) accidents this book is both gripping and informative from start to finish
