(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 02, 2020 ) Outskirts Press—the fastest-growing, full-service self-publishing and book marketing company—is pleased to announce the release of Corps Values: A Lifetime of Leadership Lessons Learned as a Texas Aggie Cadet—by Mark W. Smits. The new non-fiction book explores why effective leaders consistently develop and use Corps Values to inspire peers and build teams.

After 35 years of leadership experience in corporate America, Mark W. Smits realized that many of the skills and characteristics that contributed to his success were lessons he learned while he was a cadet at Texas A&M University. He shares amusing memories from his cadet life to illustrate the leadership lessons he learned that had a significant positive impact on his career—lessons that will help any leader to perform at a higher level while directing his or her team toward greater levels of success.

“I built a successful career in corporate America that led me to several key executive roles,” Mark explains. “Late in my career, I began to piece together the origins of these values. Most successful leaders build and leverage these values as they progress in their career. Oftentimes these lessons come with setbacks. My buddies in the Corps were exposed to all of the lessons in four short years. Corps Values can compress your learning curve and build your leadership value library without exposing you to some of the consequences that come with new knowledge.”
