Complacency is a mind killer. Don’t let it happen to you. Here’s your guide.

In Be Vigilant!, Len Herstein weaves together vivid examples from his second-act in law enforcement with practical, actionable lessons for leaders looking to protect their business from falling victim to the hidden (and not-so-hidden) dangers that threaten profitability, performance, and survival in this age of rampant disruption. This is a one-of-a-kind book that only Len could write, and that should be read by anyone serious about success.

Inspiration always comes from elsewhere – from a parallel industry, a different culture, or potentially a mindset closer to life-and-death than what you experience at work every day.

Len Herstein’s Be Vigilant! gives readers a front line, first person look at lessons learned by a police officer – who also happens to be a former Fortune 500 marketing executive.

Shot through the lens of street-level experience, both good and bad, Herstein walks us through what it means to take our personal vigilance at work – or on the street – up to a level that many of us don’t consider on a daily basis. Highly recommended.
